A ship makes 17 knots per hour.
So when will it... uh... Oh...
What a difficult problem...
- I'm leaving. - Hold on.
- Stepan!
- Help me solve this maritime problem.
- Come on!
- The steamer makes 17 knots per hour. How many hours it will take to move
from A to B, if that distance is...
Well, this needs division.
...One, zero, seven... or maybe eight?
Same thing, who cares?
And a comma needs to be placed somewhere...
There, I've slapped some numbers together.
- Thank you.
But is this... correct?
- It'll do!
You'll never have to plot a ship along that course, after all!
Well, good-bye!
Where's he off to?
- Stepan! - Push off!
From the Northern Terminal to Murmansk.
Then we'll sneak aboard a steamer. I've planned it all out.
Oh, there is one more important thing...
- What is it? - To ask Mikhail Mikhailovich for his compass.
- But we have a written test tomorrow...
Decimal divisions.
- Is the Laptev Sea open? - It is.
- Can Cape Chelyuskin be rounded? - It can.
- Can the pole be rounded? - It can.
Well, while you break your head over your decimals, everything lays open.
- Oh... - Listening in on us?
- I'm no snitch, I won't tell anyone.
But will your school task solution agree with the answer?
- What's your school task to me!?
- I'm going out to sea.
At sea, one does not need to solve any such tasks!
[The swallow]
A ship goes to sea
Where the waves splash in the open,
and the wind whips up a hurricane.
Oh, Mikhail Mikhailovich hasn't come home yet.
Well, I'll wait.
Journey Aboard the Hawk
This is great!
Lucky sailors!
What interesting things they see!
The sea! The open sea!
The Hawk sails on full tailwind now, comrade sea captain!
- Keep the same course!
[The Hawk][The Hawk]
What's that? But that's Tanya's "Swallow".
Where is she going?
- Stepan ... - Oh, it's you?
- Navigator Viharkov! - Present!
- Your assignment is helping with the food supply!
Aye, aye! Helping with the food supply!
Excuse me, Captain! Here is the map on which the course is plotted...
for our round-the-world cruise.
Here's the sextant for measuring the degrees, meridians and parallels.
Please check and confirm our course.
Sure thing. "Sextant"... first time I hear of it. [Approved! Captain Stepan.]
- Captain! - Yes? - I ordered lunch.
First - chocolate cake, Second - lemonade and biscuits,
and then one hundred servings of ice cream.
- All hands on deck! A shark!
Eh... I never again I will eat such a lunch.
Hey, where are you guys?
Now, hold on!
Now, now, now!
So, you got it into your heads to go traveling?
Ay-yay yay, yay, yay!
Unknown lands, unexplored islands...
- Left rudder!
- The Hawk changed course abruptly, and if it were not for our sailors,
the ship would have been shattered.
What was our captain thinking, guiding us into coral reefs?
Yes, you need to know a lot to lead ships.
Lights! The ocean is on fire!
Fire!
What fire?
- We are in the tropics, Those are glowing fish.
Thousands of lands and hundreds of seas; Where was I not shaken by storms?
Green Cactus Island speaking.
At the entrance to the Baderbambi Strait, the "Swallow" has been shipwrecked.
- Wire that we will come to the rescue.
We need to calculate the arrival time.
If we arrive at low tide,
the ship will not be able to approach the shore.
The Hawk makes 17 knots per hour ...
What is the distance to the island?
How many hours will we need to reach the island?...
It is necessary to divide!
One, zero, seven... or maybe eight?
Same thing, who cares?
And a comma needs to be placed somewhere...
Oh...
Take down the topgallant sails...
Take down the bramsails. There are reefs here.
Fasten the gallant-lines to the yards.
- Stand from under! Man overboard!
Where is the Hawk? Where is the Hawk? This is Green Cactus Island calling.
Where is the Hawk?
[The Swallow]
So many fruits!! I love fruits even more than ice cream.
Let's make a brief stop!
But aren't we hastening to Green Cactus Island?
They're waiting for us.
- Just the shortest landing.
While the captain and the boatswain sleep...
- Just a short landing, then!
Oh...
Help! To the rescue!
Where is the Hawk? This is the Green Cactus Island calling!
- Why are we at anchor? Get the boat!
- Help!
- Stepan!!!
- Over there! Over there!
Stepan!!!
Oh, you Assistant Food Supplier!...
Look, what's happening there?
What is it?
Where is the Hawk? Where is the Hawk? Where is the Hawk? We're facing a volcanic eruption.
Where is the Hawk? Where is the Hawk? We hear underground rumbling.
The first tremors of the coming earthquake are starting!
Mechanics! We need to make up for lost time!
Full speed ahead!
We all heard the signals of the distress call, So the heart of the machine clatters and rattles.
Counts the seconds and raise the speed; The captain has set the deadline.
Look! Land in sight!
See, how accurately I made my calculation!
Lower the anchor!
Announce our arrival with the horns.
- What anchor?! What horns?!
This is just your typical mirage that occurs on the oceans.
Land! Land!
Comrade Captain, The tide is going out!
Why is the tide going out?
Have we arrived late?
We weren't delayed, Captain.
We arrived precisely at the calculated time.
Mistaken by a whole hour!
Full-speed, backwards!
Help! To the rescue! Help!
Lower the boat!
Help, Help!
Hurry!
Catch!
Hold on!
Oh, what have I done?!
I was wrong! Of course I was wrong!
Wrong by a whole hour!
Thousands of lands and hundreds of seas; Where was I not shaken by storms?...
Ah, my friend, is that you?
Here for the promised compass?
I did not come for the compass...
Help me, please, with decimal divisions...
Stepan, you know, the answer does not seem right...
Well, it couldn't be right!
- It couldn't? - Here, this is the right solution!
Ah...
