The dientes del diablo, the Spaniards call it.
The devil's teeth.
They've taken the bottom out of any ship.
Ah, there's rough weather coming.
Is there now?
By tomorrow or the next day, the wind's shifting.
So it is.
You'd rather be alone, wouldn't you, Mr. Hornblower?
Well, since you ask me, O'Brien, yes, I would.
Ah, no, that's a pity.
Because you're due back in prison, Mr. Hornblower.
Your two hours' parole is over.
And that's how it went.
The same deadly round.
The same sick misery of captivity, day after day and month after month.
And the only time I felt free was during those precious hours when I stood above the harbour and watched the ocean.
And then came a day when the ocean heaved up before a southwest gale, when the waves came crashing in white thunder against Dientes del Diablo, the devil's chief.
I stood there watching them, and suddenly... Senor!
Yes, senora, yes.
Our captain's a fool heading this way in a gale.
