397 EXT. BRIDGE - DAY

COLLINS
Under the just law of nations, 
you people are pirates, I won't 
parley with you.

HARRIS' VOICE (o.s.)

We will. Come and get him.

Collins' head snaps in the direction of the voice.

398 EXT. MAIN DECK - DAY

HARRIS 

Come and get him.

All the men look up at the bridge.

HARRIS

Homang -- come down!

399 EXT. BRIDGE - DAY

COLLINS

Silence on the main deck!

Bordelles moves to the head of the ladder, his pistol 
drawn. Collins looks at Holman, who stands numbed.

COLLINS

If you make any effort to give yourself up ---
(turns to wupan)
In the wupan, there. Shove off, or I'll fire into you.

400 EXT. WUPAN - DAY

It makes no effort to leave -- just sits there ominously. 

401 EXT. MAIN DECK - DAY

HARRIS

Homang, come down.

Others, except Farren, start to take up the cry. First 
one is brave enough to call out, then others take heart. 
Gradually it becomes a chant, Still, there is fear in 
it. The men's only strength is in their numbers.

402 EXT. BRIDGE - DAY

Collins listens, then turns with a wild and terrible
anger.

Cont.
