HA onto a launch alongside as two men throw sacks up to be stacked on the cruiser's deck - the crewmen are stripped to the waist and perspiring in the heat.

Cut to LA.MS from a small craft passing right to left across the bows of Argonaut and tanker YO.101 alongside to starboard of her - refuelling has been completed and the tanker is about to make off - as the camera craft turns to pass to starboard of the ships, the tanker passes left to right through frame. Final XLS of plume of smoke from oil fire (?) - camera pans up to show the height of the smoke pall.
