Summary

Sam Singer The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican… (1950)

You see, Shafto? You're beaten before you start. Don't match wits with me, because I'm much too smart! And I'll soon be sailing the brawny sea to carry my golden cargo home. And don't try to get back my golden loot. You'd be wasting your time to give pursuit, since I have the fastest ship afloat, and all you have is a no-life boat.
Solar Indian Chief
Quick! Me know where he hide your men, and all my braves. We must try to stop pirates, before they get away. He make my braves put your men in gold mine, and then he make them follow.

We're in a tunnel—must be a secret passage that the medicine man used to get into the golden statue without being seen by the Indians.
Captain Shafto
I don't know where the tunnel's gonna lead us, but wherever it does, it's gonna be an improvement. That brass ring saved our lives.
Mary
Oh, this must be the old medicine man's teepee. Oh, we must take Pirate Pete by surprise. Oh, I hope we're not too late to save the Solar Indian Chief!
Mary
Look! Look, Pirate Pete's ruffians are looting the village. They're taking everything that's made of gold. They aren't content with the gold in the mine.

Eh, even without the weapons, they heap bad medicine. Let them go down to the bottom of the sea, with ship. It serve them right to drown.
Captain Shafto
No, Chief, the pirates can repair the damage they've done in your village. And we can return everything they've taken from you.
Captain Shafto
All right, you pirates! Jump overboard! Head for the nearest canoe, all of you! We're gonna take you back to the Solar Indian mainland.
Mary
Captain Shafto, you can't go aboard the ship. It's sinking! You'll lose your life if you try to stay with it. Oh, please, stay here where you're safe!
