Quotes from The Wreck of the Mary Deare
Gideon Patch:
I have to ask you to trust me just for a few days until the inquiry.
John Sands: Give me one reason. Why should I, Captain?
Gideon Patch: You've trusted me already. When you were dangling on the end of a rope over the side of the Mary Deare, you trusted me!
John Sands: I haven't forgotten.
Gideon Patch: Well, now I'm on the end of a rope. You can haul me in or let me drown!
Gideon Patch: [after a long silence] Do I have to beg, Mr. Sands?
Sir Wilfred Falcett: [During court testimony] After the loss of the Silver Isle, you found yourself, as the saying goes, "on the beach" for some considerable time, did you not?
Gideon Patch: Yes.
Sir Wilfred Falcett: You were glad to be taken on as a third officer?
Gideon Patch: Yes.
Sir Wilfred Falcett: That must have been a bitter experience for you, the sort of experience ends to put a chip on a man's shoulder. Wouldn't you agree?
Gideon Patch: That depends on the man!
Gideon Patch: You listen! I didn't ask you to come on board, and I'm in command here! Now, if you don't like it, you can go over the side and swim!
