- We simply cannot remain off a backwater island until the war is over.
- Well, you've got the map there. Show me a way out and I'll take it.
- The British will certainly launch an attack. Now, the only question is, which way will they come?
- From the sea, maybe. Up the railway to Limbasi.

- Might not our troops come up from the Congo?
- She's a hundred ton steamer, Miss, and German.
- She's boss of the lake 'cause she's got six pounders, the biggest guns in Central Africa.
- Ohh.
- Ah, we're in a bit of a fix, Miss, whichever way you look at it.
