Later, Charlie becomes inebriated and drunkenly insults Rose and her plan she retaliates by dumping his supply of gin into the river.Ĭharlie allows Rose to navigate the river by rudder while he tends the engine, and she is emboldened after they get through the first set of rapids with minimal flooding in the boat. But Rose is insistent and eventually persuades him to go along with the plan. Charlie points out that navigating the Ulanga River to get to the lake would be suicidal: they would have to pass a German fort and negotiate several dangerous rapids. Rose comes up with a plan to convert the African Queen into a torpedo boat and sink the Königin Luise. While planning their escape, Charlie mentions to Rose that the British are unable to attack the Germans due to the presence of a large gunboat, the Königin Luise, patrolling a large lake downriver. He helps Rose bury her brother, and they set off in the African Queen. Charlie returns later the same day after finding his mine destroyed by the Germans and is being pursued for his supplies, which include gelignite.

When Samuel protests, he is struck by an officer, and soon becomes delirious with fever and dies shortly afterward. When Charlie warns the Sayers that war has broken out between Germany and Britain, they choose to remain in Kungdu, only to witness Schutztruppe (German colonial troops) burn down the village and herd the villagers away to be pressed into service.
