Quote context

[...]

- Can you make out what she is? Seems to be a dead man lashed with a mast, sir.

- We'll stop. He may only be wounded.

- What's that bird on a rail for heaven's sake?

- Looks like a goose.

- It is, sir.

- The goose has been flying over the beaches during all the evacuation. It becomes a sort of legend among the men. Some of those I brought back yesterday in the toilet had seen it.

- They said if you saw the flying wild goose you'd be saved. It's a sort of good luck omen.

- A wild goose? That one looks tame. Almost like a pet that he'd brought over with him.

- Floating mine on the port bow!

- A mine. Look, mister, right in our course. Do you realise if we hadn't stopped we'd probably have hit it?

- Aye, it's more than likely, sir.

- Looks as though we were lucky to see the goose.

- Haul that boat in!

- Is he dead?

- Dead, sir. Machine gun.

- Nothing else aboard except the goose. Can't take it off. It attacks you every time you come near it.
