Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Captain halland.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, come in, mister Peterson.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh, he's a distinct privilege to welcome my first mate
to my humble court. All the five is nothing. The
Starbard Captain will be out of the worst of its sons.
Look why I sent for you. This fog isn't what
disturbs me, mister Peterson. It's just that I have a
strange premonition that the good ship Swan will emerge.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
From it into even greater difficulties.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Funny you should say that, Captain Harland, because I come
up to tell you the crow I'd happy. So the
crew isn't happy, Mister Peter said, you must dispatch my
deepest sympathies to the members.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Of this crew.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I let Captain's worst.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You think it smutiney, smutey, and you condone it. Wow,
does not have to be mute, the captain, if you'll
comment with us, Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Think I understand your suggestion. Robbery of a sort.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You contemplate rerooting this vessel and then sputting the cargo
between you and me, the other officers and the crow.
Your scheme has much to commend that, mister Peterson, to
the crew, I've taken their suggestion under advisement, and I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Let them know by sundown.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yes, Oh, mister.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Krandle, come in, I sure intend to.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'll tell you that captain, this cart is no place
of passengers, mister Crandell or mister Peterson. There, I think,
in view of the fact that mister Crandall is our
only passenger on board.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'll make an exception of him and bid him welcome. Welcome,
I happened. I just heard through the bulkhead with you
and your first mate we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's quite possible.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Your cabin is next to this one, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, too bad you didn't think of that a moment ago.
Luck Cradle, keep out of this. The cargo owner ship
ain't nothing to you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's nothing to me. I happen to own the cargo
you're carrying, and if you steal it, it'll be over
my dead buddy.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh really, Oh, mister Cradle, maybe that could be arranged too.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Verry, I wish you wouldn't do all that work.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh, I'm enjoying it, Lackie and desides.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What would your apartment look like if.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You made with sick next week?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I could look like a dust ball. But I'll get
a girl in tomorrow. I'm enjoying this.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm glad you asked me to come over. Gives me
a chance to straighten up a few things around here,
and such as what well, such as these pictures.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
On your piano, for one thing?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
What's the matter with him? The glass? And my picture
is dirty?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Shorty?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Pictures cooked?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
H sah, was cooked.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You don't have to do all. I'll get it all right.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Come, oh, Blacky, it's a shorty. How are you, Shorty?
I'm in a jam, Blackie.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
H done.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It's not a serious, boss.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I just got to leave term. I won't be back
to late o'clock tonight. And I gotta meet a boat
assessin all the white boat, Shorty, the goat island ferry.
Oh no, boss, a real big boat. What's been all
the way across the ocean from the other side. A
good fun of mine is coming in on this boat.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Somebody's got to meet him for me.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And I'm at somebody ought you. You're the best somebody
I can pick.
Speaker 5 (03:56):

Speaker 2 (03:57):
My pods name is Jimmy Adams, A cabin boy on
the boat.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
They call us one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Are you going to meet it for me? Will you, Blackie.
The ship's gonna anchor in a bait at four. At four,
huh huh, all right, Shorty, I'll meet him. Oh, Chie
thinks Blackie. I hope it won't mean any trouble. Oh,
there won't be any difficulty, Shorty. Out in the harbor.
Should be easy to hold. Trouble at bay.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, there's a swan, Mary.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What kind of a boat is it? Blacky?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
A freighter and it's not a boat, Mary, the story
where it is a boat, the swan is a ship.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
The boats on one and the boat's blots. Why is
the boat's boat? Well, shiver me timbers, but land lovers
are dumb. Yes, yes, aunt a swan. I pull you
along side, got a boating party for you.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
All all right? You go right up the rope ladder.
The moisheir.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Really, I never guessed. I'm pure girl, lady, I sir,
not to go, but nights, that's me here I go.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I am right behind you. Should I tie up and wait,
play your maid.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
If you want me to shove off.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I'm gonna tie up and wait for us. We won't
be long, I sir, How you doing, Mary?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I'm perfectly up on this. They're a maid.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Who, hey, hey, where is everybody?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Nobody up there?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Not even that sailor married. Nope, hold everything, I'll be
right with you. Who keep my eye on the other side?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Faraday?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh no, no, it can't bear you. I hoard this ship.
I'll look around, and if I find I'm not.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Me, I'll let you know. I'll take it easy, Faraday.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm just calling for a friend of Shorty's. Only I
didn't expect to run into an enemy of mine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh when I might have known, i'd run into you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh no, not out here.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
In he's out here, Miss Wesley, because where there's a body.
Sooner or later I find you and Bredy. And there's
a body on this ship.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Not a fellow named jim Adams. A guy in the
name of Crandell, passenger on board the ship.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
O the cargo of the ship is carrying. And say,
what am I telling you all this fun? The who's
Jimmy Adams? He's a cabin boy on this ship? Oh yeah, rollins, Yes, sir,
there isn't any Jimmy Adams on this ship?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Is there here?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
For there is when he took his fingerprints along with
everybody else's on board. He's a cabin boy, satisfying, Paraday.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, you came to see a cabin boy, so see him.
But leave me alone to you hear.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Rollins, I'm going up to the captain's cabin. Make sure
that Blankie doesn't bother me, or I'll bother you. All right,
Captain Hannand Crandell was killed in the cabin right next
to yours.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Now, who did it?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, that's difficult to determine, Inspector Faraday. Only three people
are allowed on this part of the ship. Any one
of us could have done it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Three people. Huh oh, well, I for one, and mister
Peterson the first mate here for another.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I could have done it, but I didn't see. That's
up to me to decide. See I was the third person?
Or security? Come in? I heard the police were here, Captor, Yeah,
the police are here right here. Oh you I, sir,
I'm this Fellows, a third person.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Allowed up in this part of the ship, Inspector Faraday.
He's my executive officer, Bill Kemp. What do you know
about this camp?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Nothing at all, sir. Why were you know when Cradell
was kunt I sir, he was up here.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Somewhere, Inspector and had just as much chance as we
to kill mister Cranley.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I see, so all three of you could have done it.
We would be decidedly stupid if.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
We didn't admit it, Inspector Charity, But I'm inclined to
believe you have a rather difficult time proven which one
of us actually did commit the crime.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'll find out, all right, Hank. Did you have any
trouble with Cradell before the murder?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
None?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Whatever, Inspector, Hey, tunnel anywhere on the ship. Oh, this
was the most uneventful voyage this ship has ever made. Okay,
I don't want any of you leaving here. You're all
under suspicion.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Of course, of.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Course, Inspector, you find it rather simple to play us
under suspicion. But to determine which of us to place
under arrest, well, I'm afraid, Inspector, that's where you'll run aground.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Kay, Blackie, it's sure Sweller, surety to send you and
miss Wesley out here to pick me up. I'm sorry
there's a mess here.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm for we are too, Jimmy, but I don't think
the police will keep you can find a quarter as
much longer.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'd like to solve this murder while I'm here, Yell,
would you? Well, maybe this will help you. There was
to be a mutiny on board. See the crew was
going to take the ship and steal a cargo.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
The first mate was at well, yes, but what does
that have to do with mister Crandell being killed? Oh,
Lenny Crandel on the cargo we'll carrying.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh this is beginning to add up. I'm mutiny and
a murder.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I've got an idea.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This isn't going to be too tough. F do you
know who killed Crandall?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I have a rough idea. I'm gonna leave now, but
I'll be back to smooth it out.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh tell me something, Jimmy boy, you got excuse me, Blackie,
I just remember something I got to do. I'll be
right back on No, wait, righting here for me and
I'll be back.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
H Cluckie, you said you had a well rough idea.
Who killed mister Crandell? What's the idea?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I tell you, Mary, I'll.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Tell you this.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is a very interesting case.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Very interesting.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Well, you've come somebody who thinks you're not very interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't even have to turn around to know who
you mean. I don't want you off this ship. I'm
not too fast, Inspector. I've just found out something you
ought to know.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I know all about that. There was an attempted us
me on board this ship. The captain denied it, but
I found out from one of the crew. Now I'm
gonna tell you something. You've got five minutes to get
off this ship or off you walk answer.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'll spend those five minutes solving your case.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You'll hope. Hey, Ron'synswer here's his bigger Sturday. Keep an
eye on Blankie. See that he's off this ship. We're
inside of five minutes. If he isn't, arrest him for
from glittering or something.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right, you're going to Shorensburger.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah right, Now, where's that Roe planet? Well here, they's
in here. I'm taking these fingerprints at the offices and
crew with a ship to headquarters. See what I can
find out about them.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Good luck as Bigger.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I never mind about wishing me good luck on a fingerprints.
Wish me good luck on this Roe plaid. I'm not
sure these things are safe. Why don't they these biggers?
Here's somebody bigger Bardy's overboard.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Great thanking your Bardy pull overboard, blank.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Eddie, he can't swimming trunk. Oh well he goes real ladies,
there he goes, I the way you wait, loved his
mother's been a line, of course, sooner step over here.
But why he'll be okay?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And he always?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Are you thinking the same thing I am rolling about
Blackie going on after the inspect Funny, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, Slackie pretends to this inspectuary and yet just that's
the inspect to get.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Into trouble and Blackie dives in afro boy dies right sure,
Oh wait a minute, let me help too. Panaside, lady,
don't want to have to cross the rope deals. Okay,
now come on, I'm pulling on my board. Now where
(11:34):
do you come? What are you brab that I'll take
care of the all I'll get him. Oh that's what
I've always told it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Out.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Thanks you, okay, Parny.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But I lost most of the fingerprints I was taking
the head corners. You almost lot your life. Kind of clumsy,
mo inspector. Look, I didn't follow aboard. One of the
steps in that rocklanda was cut. But I suppose I
ought to thank you for going in after me. So thanks,
you are welcome, But I'll never.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Be able to explain to myself why I did it?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Do you say the lighter was cut? Now?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I suppose you know who cut it?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I do, all right? Who?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The captain, the executive officer of the first mate.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
One of those three they had a chance wh we
were talking through the friday positively brilliant. So why you
still don't know which one of the three you know?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Maybe I ought to throw you back. The only passenger
aboard the freighter Swan has been murdered. Three people aboard
the ship could have committed the crime.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The captain, the executive officer.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And the first mate.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Inspector Paraday was leaving the ship for orders when a
severed step in the rope ladder caused him to fall
into the water. Blackie on board to meet the cabin
boy Jimmy, as a favorite to his friend, Shorty saved
the inspector.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's several hours later as we returned to our.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Story and Blackie is with Paraday and the Inspector's gone. Well, Paraday,
how that you're sitting behind you a nice warm desk
and dressed.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
A nice dry clothes?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Again?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
May I go back to the ship and start to
work on your case. You don't have to blanky. While
you were changing your clothes, I checked the fingerprints I
saved when I went overboard.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
One of them was the mates so so so my
fingerprint file says the mate is a nice convict. So
I figured the mate killed Crandall because Randall recognized him
as a next convict.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So one more so and you'll have me in stitches. Yeah, well,
in a few minutes, I'll have that mate in jail.
My radio drums on the ship to arrest him. Paraday,
Sometimes you dare yes, mats, Are you one in the
radio room? Inspector is rong?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Come on, Blankie, I'll let you see how fast I
close a case.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
To see this.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It will be something to tell my grandchildren. I understand
grandchildren love theory story. Now, just why are we in
the radio room?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because Rollins is on the ship and I've got two
way communication open from here to the radio room on board.
That's why Smith, which mic is open to the ship.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Now that's one right here, Inspector Rollins is waiting. Go ahead, nice,
did you pick up the mates?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Peterson picked them up?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Good?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Bring you right down. At headquarters. I want to talk
to him the headquarters inspecer.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Why not you picked them up, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Off the four of his cabin, Inspector. He's dead? What
ye dead? Dead, Inspector?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
K I l led dead?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Quiet leggy? Get me a squat costs Smith?
Speaker 4 (14:45):

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh? I'm going out to the swan What for to
cook somebody's goose? Get me that squat, Cossmith and hurry? Yes, sir,
So you're going to waste your time out on the
ocean on Friday. Why don't you stay here? You're a

Speaker 5 (15:10):
He's I'm below inspected parad I'm glad you're a boorn
saying why you've got to get.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Me off this ship? Are you crazy? I'm scared, sir.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
First it was our passenger, then was mister Peterson, and
I'm the next to be killed?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Why? And I don't know why? I just feel it,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Will you stay right here and keep on feeling it.
I'm a police god with you all the time. You'll
be safe and our peace.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'll tell you something if you take me ashore? Yeah
what I can't tell you now.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I know where you're staying right on this ship till
you can. And don't go overboard the way I did,
because when you get hauled in, it'll be all the
way to headquarters.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Oh is it's me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):

he finds out you've skipped, healed be telling me you

Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think you can find something for you to wear. Gee, nice,
Blacky boy. It sure good to get out of these
wet rags.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I'll bet I suppose you tell me why you went overboard.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh I had too, Blackie. There's plenty going on aboard
that ship, and I didn't want to be any part
of it.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Well, you still got to get your back here.

Gee, thanks, get yourself good and drive. Get into those clothes.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
What I call Faraday.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He'll be angry you jump ship. But after you've had
a change of clothes, maybe I can get him to
have a change of heart.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Love, Captain Holland, you know something you want tell me,
so maybe you better start talking. Who gave you this idea,
Inspector Faraday? Your friend Boston Blacking. I understand he was
on board earlier the day I'm conducting this investigation. But
rather badly, I'd say, Look, Inspector, kind of attitude isn't
going to get you anywhere. If you think I'm at
(18:03):
the barometers, why don't you go ahead and prove it?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I intend to do just that, Champing, there's only one
frank inspect parody. Put that gun down, mister Kemp. No, no,
I won't, no matter with you camp. You're in trouble
enough for that point. I ask me handle this. Inspector Faraday.
Put that gun down, mister Kemp. No, no, I won't
put it down until I'm allowed to go ashore. Get
(18:28):
away from me, Captain Orrial.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Don't try to pick up that gun, mister Kemp. Inspector
Faraday will.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Pick it up for it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Nice going, Captain. He knocked the gun out of his hand,
and all I've got it. Good now, Inspector Faraday, I've
done all I could for you. I think the next
move is yours. Yeah, come in, I'll on, Inspector. I
(19:04):
didn't know you were back in your office already. Yes, miss,
I went out to the ship again. I didn't get anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh I'm sorry, Inspector.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, just how you feel? Yeah, and you've got a
headache too, huh.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
No, but I got a message for you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Miss Wesley called up and she says, she says, Blackie
wants you to be in the police radio room at
nine o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Why she didn't say why first, Blankie. Now she's ordering
me around. Sure, I'm a public servant, but that's overdoing it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Blackie told us to meet him aboard ship, Miss Wesley. Well,
we're aboard the ship. But where is he? Where's everybody?
He'll be along, Shorty, he's steady anxious to see. Thank
you say now? Yeah? Ap a lanthro Oh kids, Jimmy's
(20:07):

Blacky head? Blackie won Mary? Please wait here. I'll explain
why later. Surety, you can leave me no matter what happens.
Just go along with everything I say.

And this way you're Blackie.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Oh I A.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We still don't lie, yes, but it's especially important this time.
Oh here we are? Where's here?

The radio woman?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I want someone to meet you here. I'll go first, okay, Jimmy, Yeah, lakey, Jimmy.
I want you to meet a friend of mine. This
is Joe Thomas. Sure as well, I know you're Joe.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Any friend of Blackie's a friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Thanks Shorty for keeping a straight face during that introduction.
And now, Jimmy, you better start telling a straight story.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Huh what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I mean you've been lying.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Your name isn't even Jimmy Adams.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What do you mean I'm Jimmy Adams camboy in his
sure ship? Is he the Jimmy Adams?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You know, Shorty?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Shorty, Hey, sure Blackie.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I ain't never seen him before.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And he's never seen you before, rather Shorty, because he
accepted you as Joe Thomas when I introduced you, I knew.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
He wasn't the real of Jimmy Adams when he didn't
recognize your picture on a piano. Okay, stand where you are, Foodier,
black He's got gun I know, Shorty, I mean I
know it now, which is a little later.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You're gonna be late two the lake bust.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And Blackie get your hand up, Foodio. I killed you
as you knew too much about me.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Crandell knew who you were. Huh sort of Peters in
the first.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Mate, Yeah, yeah, they both recognized me this morning, but
what they knew didn't do much good did it? Then
you admit you kilmen say do that for yourself, Blackie, Hey,
black you look if this guy ain't Jimmy Adams and
he ain't, well, where's Jimmy the same place? Krandlin A
first made a only pell. Jimmy got his before we
(21:50):
left the other side. I had to get back to
this country seat. That was the easy way I became
Jimmy Adams. And now up against the other war both you.
It won't do any good to qus Inspect. The Faraday
has heard every word you said. I now, Blackie, don't
give me that stuff. Inspect a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Nowhere's around. I'll right here. I heard everything you said.
I you've got two men coming out there right away. Hey,
where does what's come from? Not the same place that
the fifth discovering?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nice poke you gave him, Blackie. He'll be up for
a week. You get them, Yes, I got them.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Friday glagis state in the radio room headquarters. Did you
get a confession every word of it? Well, I have
a typed up and I'll have a rawlins bring him.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
In to sign it.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And so until next time, this is your commentator, Boston,
Blackie speaking to you. From aboard the good Ship Swan
and saying goodbye.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Good luck, and to you especially Faturday, good riddance. Oh,
Captain Holme.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Seems that the good Ship's Swan can set sail anytime,
anytime you want to shove off. Yes, Bluckie, so it
seems no more trouble. No, I'm sorry, Blackie, I didn't
remember that the cap'n boy is allowed in the captain's quarters.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I had saved you a lot of trouble. Well, this
has taught me a listen.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I'm afraid it taught.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Crandell and Peterson a lesson too, Captain.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
They are dead because they recognized that phony cabin boys
and escaped convict.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So I understand.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I glad I didn't recognize him, or his craft.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Would be sailing under a new skipper.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Police headquarters was almost sailing under a new skipper.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Too, thanks to me, Thanks to you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yes, Mary was my fault that Faraday went overboard. Why
was it your fault, Blackie. I was under the impression it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Was a severed rung in the rope ladder that caused
the inspector's fall. Yes, that's right, Captain, but.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
That wrong was cut because the phony Jimmy Adams was
under the impression I knew who killed Crandell. Remember Mary.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
As soon as I said I had a rough idea
who did the killing? He yes, I do remember. He
suddenly left. He said he had something to do, and
that's something.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Was to gut the wrung in that rope ladder and
hopes that I drop into the water and drip out
of this case while Captain.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Holland, I guess we'll be going ashore. You know it
was Lucky the phony.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Jimmy Adams jumped ship and came to my apartment.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Where he gave himself away.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Lucky Blackie. Why well, if he'd
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Stayed aboard this tramp steamer, he sure would have made
a bum out of me.
Hi, Captain halland.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, come in, mister Peterson.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh, he's a distinct privilege to welcome my first mate
to my humble court. All the five is nothing. The
Starbard Captain will be out of the worst of its sons.
Look why I sent for you. This fog isn't what
disturbs me, mister Peterson. It's just that I have a
strange premonition that the good ship Swan will emerge.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
From it into even greater difficulties.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Funny you should say that, Captain Harland, because I come
up to tell you the crow I'd happy. So the
crew isn't happy, Mister Peter said, you must dispatch my
deepest sympathies to the members.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Of this crew.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I let Captain's worst.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You think it smutiney, smutey, and you condone it. Wow,
does not have to be mute, the captain, if you'll
comment with us, Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Think I understand your suggestion. Robbery of a sort.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You contemplate rerooting this vessel and then sputting the cargo
between you and me, the other officers and the crow.
Your scheme has much to commend that, mister Peterson, to
the crew, I've taken their suggestion under advisement, and I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Let them know by sundown.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yes, Oh, mister.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Krandle, come in, I sure intend to.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'll tell you that captain, this cart is no place
of passengers, mister Crandell or mister Peterson. There, I think,
in view of the fact that mister Crandall is our
only passenger on board.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'll make an exception of him and bid him welcome. Welcome,
I happened. I just heard through the bulkhead with you
and your first mate we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's quite possible.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Your cabin is next to this one, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, too bad you didn't think of that a moment ago.
Luck Cradle, keep out of this. The cargo owner ship
ain't nothing to you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's nothing to me. I happen to own the cargo
you're carrying, and if you steal it, it'll be over
my dead buddy.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh really, Oh, mister Cradle, maybe that could be arranged too.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Verry, I wish you wouldn't do all that work.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh, I'm enjoying it, Lackie and desides.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What would your apartment look like if.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You made with sick next week?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I could look like a dust ball. But I'll get
a girl in tomorrow. I'm enjoying this.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm glad you asked me to come over. Gives me
a chance to straighten up a few things around here,
and such as what well, such as these pictures.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
On your piano, for one thing?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
What's the matter with him? The glass? And my picture
is dirty?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Shorty?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Pictures cooked?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
H sah, was cooked.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You don't have to do all. I'll get it all right.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Come, oh, Blacky, it's a shorty. How are you, Shorty?
I'm in a jam, Blackie.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
H done.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It's not a serious, boss.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I just got to leave term. I won't be back
to late o'clock tonight. And I gotta meet a boat
assessin all the white boat, Shorty, the goat island ferry.
Oh no, boss, a real big boat. What's been all
the way across the ocean from the other side. A
good fun of mine is coming in on this boat.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Somebody's got to meet him for me.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And I'm at somebody ought you. You're the best somebody
I can pick.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Up, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
My pods name is Jimmy Adams, A cabin boy on
the boat.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
They call us one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Are you going to meet it for me? Will you, Blackie.
The ship's gonna anchor in a bait at four. At four,
huh huh, all right, Shorty, I'll meet him. Oh, Chie
thinks Blackie. I hope it won't mean any trouble. Oh,
there won't be any difficulty, Shorty. Out in the harbor.
Should be easy to hold. Trouble at bay.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, there's a swan, Mary.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What kind of a boat is it? Blacky?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
A freighter and it's not a boat, Mary, the story
where it is a boat, the swan is a ship.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
The boats on one and the boat's blots. Why is
the boat's boat? Well, shiver me timbers, but land lovers
are dumb. Yes, yes, aunt a swan. I pull you
along side, got a boating party for you.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
All all right? You go right up the rope ladder.
The moisheir.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Really, I never guessed. I'm pure girl, lady, I sir,
not to go, but nights, that's me here I go.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I am right behind you. Should I tie up and wait,
play your maid.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
If you want me to shove off.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I'm gonna tie up and wait for us. We won't
be long, I sir, How you doing, Mary?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I'm perfectly up on this. They're a maid.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Who, hey, hey, where is everybody?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Nobody up there?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Not even that sailor married. Nope, hold everything, I'll be
right with you. Who keep my eye on the other side?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Faraday?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh no, no, it can't bear you. I hoard this ship.
I'll look around, and if I find I'm not.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Me, I'll let you know. I'll take it easy, Faraday.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm just calling for a friend of Shorty's. Only I
didn't expect to run into an enemy of mine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh when I might have known, i'd run into you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh no, not out here.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
In he's out here, Miss Wesley, because where there's a body.
Sooner or later I find you and Bredy. And there's
a body on this ship.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Not a fellow named jim Adams. A guy in the
name of Crandell, passenger on board the ship.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
O the cargo of the ship is carrying. And say,
what am I telling you all this fun? The who's
Jimmy Adams? He's a cabin boy on this ship? Oh yeah, rollins, Yes, sir,
there isn't any Jimmy Adams on this ship?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Is there here?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
For there is when he took his fingerprints along with
everybody else's on board. He's a cabin boy, satisfying, Paraday.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, you came to see a cabin boy, so see him.
But leave me alone to you hear.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Rollins, I'm going up to the captain's cabin. Make sure
that Blankie doesn't bother me, or I'll bother you. All right,
Captain Hannand Crandell was killed in the cabin right next
to yours.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Now, who did it?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, that's difficult to determine, Inspector Faraday. Only three people
are allowed on this part of the ship. Any one
of us could have done it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Three people. Huh oh, well, I for one, and mister
Peterson the first mate here for another.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I could have done it, but I didn't see. That's
up to me to decide. See I was the third person?
Or security? Come in? I heard the police were here, Captor, Yeah,
the police are here right here. Oh you I, sir,
I'm this Fellows, a third person.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Allowed up in this part of the ship, Inspector Faraday.
He's my executive officer, Bill Kemp. What do you know
about this camp?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Nothing at all, sir. Why were you know when Cradell
was kunt I sir, he was up here.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Somewhere, Inspector and had just as much chance as we
to kill mister Cranley.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I see, so all three of you could have done it.
We would be decidedly stupid if.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
We didn't admit it, Inspector Charity, But I'm inclined to
believe you have a rather difficult time proven which one
of us actually did commit the crime.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'll find out, all right, Hank. Did you have any
trouble with Cradell before the murder?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
None?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Whatever, Inspector, Hey, tunnel anywhere on the ship. Oh, this
was the most uneventful voyage this ship has ever made. Okay,
I don't want any of you leaving here. You're all
under suspicion.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Of course, of.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Course, Inspector, you find it rather simple to play us
under suspicion. But to determine which of us to place
under arrest, well, I'm afraid, Inspector, that's where you'll run aground.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Kay, Blackie, it's sure Sweller, surety to send you and
miss Wesley out here to pick me up. I'm sorry
there's a mess here.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm for we are too, Jimmy, but I don't think
the police will keep you can find a quarter as
much longer.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'd like to solve this murder while I'm here, Yell,
would you? Well, maybe this will help you. There was
to be a mutiny on board. See the crew was
going to take the ship and steal a cargo.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
The first mate was at well, yes, but what does
that have to do with mister Crandell being killed? Oh,
Lenny Crandel on the cargo we'll carrying.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh this is beginning to add up. I'm mutiny and
a murder.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I've got an idea.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This isn't going to be too tough. F do you
know who killed Crandall?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I have a rough idea. I'm gonna leave now, but
I'll be back to smooth it out.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh tell me something, Jimmy boy, you got excuse me, Blackie,
I just remember something I got to do. I'll be
right back on No, wait, righting here for me and
I'll be back.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
H Cluckie, you said you had a well rough idea.
Who killed mister Crandell? What's the idea?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I tell you, Mary, I'll.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Tell you this.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is a very interesting case.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Very interesting.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Well, you've come somebody who thinks you're not very interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't even have to turn around to know who
you mean. I don't want you off this ship. I'm
not too fast, Inspector. I've just found out something you
ought to know.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I know all about that. There was an attempted us
me on board this ship. The captain denied it, but
I found out from one of the crew. Now I'm
gonna tell you something. You've got five minutes to get
off this ship or off you walk answer.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'll spend those five minutes solving your case.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You'll hope. Hey, Ron'synswer here's his bigger Sturday. Keep an
eye on Blankie. See that he's off this ship. We're
inside of five minutes. If he isn't, arrest him for
from glittering or something.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right, you're going to Shorensburger.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah right, Now, where's that Roe planet? Well here, they's
in here. I'm taking these fingerprints at the offices and
crew with a ship to headquarters. See what I can
find out about them.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Good luck as Bigger.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I never mind about wishing me good luck on a fingerprints.
Wish me good luck on this Roe plaid. I'm not
sure these things are safe. Why don't they these biggers?
Here's somebody bigger Bardy's overboard.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Great thanking your Bardy pull overboard, blank.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Eddie, he can't swimming trunk. Oh well he goes real ladies,
there he goes, I the way you wait, loved his
mother's been a line, of course, sooner step over here.
But why he'll be okay?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And he always?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Are you thinking the same thing I am rolling about
Blackie going on after the inspect Funny, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, Slackie pretends to this inspectuary and yet just that's
the inspect to get.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Into trouble and Blackie dives in afro boy dies right sure,
Oh wait a minute, let me help too. Panaside, lady,
don't want to have to cross the rope deals. Okay,
now come on, I'm pulling on my board. Now where
(11:34):
do you come? What are you brab that I'll take
care of the all I'll get him. Oh that's what
I've always told it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Out.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Thanks you, okay, Parny.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But I lost most of the fingerprints I was taking
the head corners. You almost lot your life. Kind of clumsy,
mo inspector. Look, I didn't follow aboard. One of the
steps in that rocklanda was cut. But I suppose I
ought to thank you for going in after me. So thanks,
you are welcome, But I'll never.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Be able to explain to myself why I did it?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Do you say the lighter was cut? Now?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I suppose you know who cut it?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I do, all right? Who?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The captain, the executive officer of the first mate.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
One of those three they had a chance wh we
were talking through the friday positively brilliant. So why you
still don't know which one of the three you know?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Maybe I ought to throw you back. The only passenger
aboard the freighter Swan has been murdered. Three people aboard
the ship could have committed the crime.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The captain, the executive officer.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
And the first mate.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Inspector Paraday was leaving the ship for orders when a
severed step in the rope ladder caused him to fall
into the water. Blackie on board to meet the cabin
boy Jimmy, as a favorite to his friend, Shorty saved
the inspector.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's several hours later as we returned to our.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Story and Blackie is with Paraday and the Inspector's gone. Well, Paraday,
how that you're sitting behind you a nice warm desk
and dressed.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
A nice dry clothes?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Again?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
May I go back to the ship and start to
work on your case. You don't have to blanky. While
you were changing your clothes, I checked the fingerprints I
saved when I went overboard.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
One of them was the mates so so so my
fingerprint file says the mate is a nice convict. So
I figured the mate killed Crandall because Randall recognized him
as a next convict.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So one more so and you'll have me in stitches. Yeah, well,
in a few minutes, I'll have that mate in jail.
My radio drums on the ship to arrest him. Paraday,
Sometimes you dare yes, mats, Are you one in the
radio room? Inspector is rong?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Come on, Blankie, I'll let you see how fast I
close a case.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
To see this.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It will be something to tell my grandchildren. I understand
grandchildren love theory story. Now, just why are we in
the radio room?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because Rollins is on the ship and I've got two
way communication open from here to the radio room on board.
That's why Smith, which mic is open to the ship.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Now that's one right here, Inspector Rollins is waiting. Go ahead, nice,
did you pick up the mates?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Peterson picked them up?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Good?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Bring you right down. At headquarters. I want to talk
to him the headquarters inspecer.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Why not you picked them up, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Off the four of his cabin, Inspector. He's dead? What
ye dead? Dead, Inspector?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
K I l led dead?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Quiet leggy? Get me a squat costs Smith?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yes, sir? Where are you going Friday? Crazy?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh? I'm going out to the swan What for to
cook somebody's goose? Get me that squat, Cossmith and hurry? Yes, sir,
So you're going to waste your time out on the
ocean on Friday. Why don't you stay here? You're a

Speaker 5 (15:10):
He's I'm below inspected parad I'm glad you're a boorn
saying why you've got to get.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Me off this ship? Are you crazy? I'm scared, sir.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
First it was our passenger, then was mister Peterson, and
I'm the next to be killed?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Why? And I don't know why? I just feel it,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Will you stay right here and keep on feeling it.
I'm a police god with you all the time. You'll
be safe and our peace.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'll tell you something if you take me ashore? Yeah
what I can't tell you now.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I know where you're staying right on this ship till
you can. And don't go overboard the way I did,
because when you get hauled in, it'll be all the
way to headquarters.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Oh is it's me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Me, Jimmy, jimme ad him, say too, Blacky, Yes, let
me use your apartment, Blanky quick, Jimmy, how'd you get
off that ship? You should have say what somebody? You're
soaking wet?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know, hey to jump ober board and swim ashure
you swim ashore.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I think you'd better come in and he'll start floating
down the hall.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Come on, hey, thank you, Jimmy. You shouldn't have done this. Sorry,
he finds out you've skipped, healed be telling me you

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm the first mate.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Let's getch you out.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Those wet clothes.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think you can find something for you to wear. Gee, nice,
Blacky boy. It sure good to get out of these
wet rags.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I'll bet I suppose you tell me why you went overboard.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh I had too, Blackie. There's plenty going on aboard
that ship, and I didn't want to be any part
of it.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Well, you still got to get your back here.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Hey, that's some oil paining you got over a fireplace.
Gots you have plenty of it? Yeah, pew to you,

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Here's your towel.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Gee, thanks, get yourself good and drive. Get into those clothes.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
What I call Faraday.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He'll be angry you jump ship. But after you've had
a change of clothes, maybe I can get him to
have a change of heart.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Love, Captain Holland, you know something you want tell me,
so maybe you better start talking. Who gave you this idea,
Inspector Faraday? Your friend Boston Blacking. I understand he was
on board earlier the day I'm conducting this investigation. But
rather badly, I'd say, Look, Inspector, kind of attitude isn't
going to get you anywhere. If you think I'm at
(18:03):
the barometers, why don't you go ahead and prove it?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I intend to do just that, Champing, there's only one
frank inspect parody. Put that gun down, mister Kemp. No, no,
I won't, no matter with you camp. You're in trouble
enough for that point. I ask me handle this. Inspector Faraday.
Put that gun down, mister Kemp. No, no, I won't
put it down until I'm allowed to go ashore. Get
(18:28):
away from me, Captain Orrial.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Don't try to pick up that gun, mister Kemp. Inspector
Faraday will.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Pick it up for it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Nice going, Captain. He knocked the gun out of his hand,
and all I've got it. Good now, Inspector Faraday, I've
done all I could for you. I think the next
move is yours. Yeah, come in, I'll on, Inspector. I
(19:04):
didn't know you were back in your office already. Yes, miss,
I went out to the ship again. I didn't get anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh I'm sorry, Inspector.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, just how you feel? Yeah, and you've got a
headache too, huh.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
No, but I got a message for you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Miss Wesley called up and she says, she says, Blackie
wants you to be in the police radio room at
nine o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Why she didn't say why first, Blankie. Now she's ordering
me around. Sure, I'm a public servant, but that's overdoing it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Blackie told us to meet him aboard ship, Miss Wesley. Well,
we're aboard the ship. But where is he? Where's everybody?
He'll be along, Shorty, he's steady anxious to see. Thank
you say now? Yeah? Ap a lanthro Oh kids, Jimmy's
(20:07):

we were all right.
Speaker 1 (20:10):

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Blacky head? Blackie won Mary? Please wait here. I'll explain
why later. Surety, you can leave me no matter what happens.
Just go along with everything I say.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
And this way you're Blackie.
Speaker 5 (20:21):

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I want someone to meet you here. I'll go first, okay, Jimmy, Yeah, lakey, Jimmy.

is Joe Thomas. Sure as well, I know you're Joe.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Any friend of Blackie's a friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Thanks Shorty for keeping a straight face during that introduction.
And now, Jimmy, you better start telling a straight story.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Huh what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I mean you've been lying.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Your name isn't even Jimmy Adams.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What do you mean I'm Jimmy Adams camboy in his
sure ship? Is he the Jimmy Adams?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You know, Shorty?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Shorty, Hey, sure Blackie.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I ain't never seen him before.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And he's never seen you before, rather Shorty, because he
accepted you as Joe Thomas when I introduced you, I knew.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
He wasn't the real of Jimmy Adams when he didn't
recognize your picture on a piano. Okay, stand where you are, Foodier,
black He's got gun I know, Shorty, I mean I
know it now, which is a little later.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You're gonna be late two the lake bust.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And Blackie get your hand up, Foodio. I killed you
as you knew too much about me.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Crandell knew who you were. Huh sort of Peters in
the first.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Mate, Yeah, yeah, they both recognized me this morning, but
what they knew didn't do much good did it? Then
you admit you kilmen say do that for yourself, Blackie, Hey,
black you look if this guy ain't Jimmy Adams and
he ain't, well, where's Jimmy the same place? Krandlin A
first made a only pell. Jimmy got his before we
(21:50):
left the other side. I had to get back to
this country seat. That was the easy way I became
Jimmy Adams. And now up against the other war both you.
It won't do any good to qus Inspect. The Faraday
has heard every word you said. I now, Blackie, don't
give me that stuff. Inspect a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Nowhere's around. I'll right here. I heard everything you said.
I you've got two men coming out there right away. Hey,
where does what's come from? Not the same place that
the fifth discovering?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nice poke you gave him, Blackie. He'll be up for
a week. You get them, Yes, I got them.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Friday glagis state in the radio room headquarters. Did you
get a confession every word of it? Well, I have
a typed up and I'll have a rawlins bring him.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
In to sign it.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And so until next time, this is your commentator, Boston,
Blackie speaking to you. From aboard the good Ship Swan
and saying goodbye.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Good luck, and to you especially Faturday, good riddance. Oh,
Captain Holme.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Seems that the good Ship's Swan can set sail anytime,
anytime you want to shove off. Yes, Bluckie, so it
seems no more trouble. No, I'm sorry, Blackie, I didn't
remember that the cap'n boy is allowed in the captain's quarters.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I had saved you a lot of trouble. Well, this
has taught me a listen.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I'm afraid it taught.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Crandell and Peterson a lesson too, Captain.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
They are dead because they recognized that phony cabin boys
and escaped convict.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So I understand.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I glad I didn't recognize him, or his craft.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Would be sailing under a new skipper.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Police headquarters was almost sailing under a new skipper.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Too, thanks to me, Thanks to you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yes, Mary was my fault that Faraday went overboard. Why
was it your fault, Blackie. I was under the impression it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Was a severed rung in the rope ladder that caused
the inspector's fall. Yes, that's right, Captain, but.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
That wrong was cut because the phony Jimmy Adams was
under the impression I knew who killed Crandell. Remember Mary.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
As soon as I said I had a rough idea
who did the killing? He yes, I do remember. He
suddenly left. He said he had something to do, and
that's something.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Was to gut the wrung in that rope ladder and
hopes that I drop into the water and drip out
of this case while Captain.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Holland, I guess we'll be going ashore. You know it
was Lucky the phony.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Jimmy Adams jumped ship and came to my apartment.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Where he gave himself away.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Lucky Blackie. Why well, if he'd
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Stayed aboard this tramp steamer, he sure would have made
a bum out of me.
