Let us address
the Lords of the Admiralty
And that's all you know?
The documents are fragmented.
We can not send a rescue vessel.
Milord... It is possible for the
Admiralty to do something
To hunt all through Patagonia
for one man.
We've already wasted millions
in search for Franklin
We cannot finance an expedition
destined for failure.
Madame, two children has arrived
they want to speak to Lord Glenarvan.
I like to talk to Lord Glenarvan.
Lord Glenarvan is not here just now but I am
his wife, can I do anything for you?
The newspaper writes that on board yacht
"Duncan", Lord Glenarvan
has information on captain Grant.
I am the daughter of Captain Grant.
My name is Mary.
- And this is my brother Robert.
- Miss. Grant!?
Miss Mary!
- Well, tell me?
- The Admiralty refuses
an rescue expedition
- They can not forget that Grant's Scottish.
- Nobody wants to help Dad.
- This is Mary Grant.
- Is there no hope that they will be saved?
Then we must save them
ourselves. Mary!
How can we do that, dear boy?
If each Scot gave
my father 6 pence
then each will give
1 penny to his son
That sum will be enough
to save Captain Grant.
You're right, boy!
Inspired by the noble goal to
save the life of Captain Grant
Glenarvan and friends
have undertaken a journey
long and dangerous.
- John, do something about it!
- The son of Captain Grant
will be a good sailor, miss Mary.
When do you eat here?
At nine...
- So, when do you eat here?
- At 9:00 am ..
With whom do I have the honor?
Jacques Paganel. Jacques Eliacin Francoise
Marie Paganel.
Secretary of the Geographical
Society of Paris
Corresponding Member of the
Societies of
Darmstad, Leipzig, Petersburg,
New York
Honorary Member of the Royal Geographical
and Ethnographical Institute of the East Indies
Lady Helena Glenarvan.
- And you are?
John Mangles, the captain of the
vessel that you are on.
But how did you get here?
You are going to India?
No, to Patagonia.
- To Patagonia?
- Yes, "Duncan" is heading
in the opposite direction!
to Patagonia.
- Do you mean: Patagonia? Duncan...
- Yes.
- Patagonia?
- Yes.
Duncan. Patagonia. Yes. Yes.
I boarded in the foggy night
on the wrong vessel.
This could only happen to me.
- You had more happenings?
- Yes. Sure.
I was to embark on a vessel
"Scotia" with destination to India
I went to sleep in cabin 6.
But not on "Scotia", on "Duncan".
Listen: You have probably
never been to India,
on a pleasure trip anyway,
You can turn the ship around.
No. We are not going to Patagonia
for pleasure but to save
Captain Grant who is shipwrecked.
To save Captain Grant?
In this case I am happy to be here
even if it was a mistake
on a ship sailing on
such an admirable mission.
Then join us.
South Atlantic Ocean
Moving past the Canary Islands
and the Tropic of Cancer,
the yacht "Duncan" goes
along the coast of
South America.
After a 42-day voyage they reach
the coast of Patagonia,
waiting for the arrival of the
one person
who could give information
about captain Grant.
The British Consul
We've been looking forward
to your visit, Consul.
We have made inquiries.
No reports that the ship of Captain Grant
has gone ashore on the Chilian coast.
It's impossible. In the documents
we've found it's clearly written :
...gonia,  37th parallel
So I thought it must
be Patagonia.
Aha! So Captain Grant is
somewhere within the country!
But the bottle?
To throw in a bottle in an
ocean you must be
at least on the ocean shore.
Or on the banks of a river
flowing into the ocean.
- That's an idea!
-  A good idea!
Then what do you suggest?
I suggest
to cross South America
along the 37th parallel.
- Is my poor father in great danger.
- Danger?
- Who said anything about danger!?
- I didn't !
Before us lies a journey about
1,200 km long, which will
last not more than a month.
Look at the map: We start the trip
at the Chilian coast
following latitude 37 on horses,
