Teabreak Teaser

    In Many Happy Returns two supposed gun-runners come across a raft. Onboard a man lies collapsed, as Gunter and Ernst take onboard their own boat, anything they can take from the raft.

   Soon after cutting the raft adrift, Ernst goes below to the galley, where he prepares a meal which he takes up into wheelhouse. The meal consists of tea, bread, cold tinned baked beans, corned beef, and a tin of pineapple chunks. So where is the tease? The teaser is, are the tins of Village Food, those provisions taken from Number Six's raft? Or of those belonging to the two crewmen?
