A man in light trousers and a dark vest stands on a beach near a wooden pier and a thatched hut, gesturing toward the water while speaking. The transcript suggests a negotiation about trade goods and settling a prior debt with a local vendor.

“I got a cargo trade goods in stores were to keep going the worst of the only guy on the beach that sells the stuff we need but you don't owe him nothing captain you settle with him last time we were here” 8:26 · “yeah I put the old cheap in the nose too it may hurt my credit a little all you fix him up hey how about that great captain standby I'll come out of that with a bottle of bus” 8:26 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
