Speaker 1 (00:00):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents. Come in Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall.

(00:30):
Won't you join me in the exploration of the rich
resources of your own imagination? Modern science tells us we
live in a world of waves. Beyond the atom, the electron,
the ion substance itself breaks down into waves. My voice

(00:52):
is coming to you now on waves, And that, as
they say, is a long and short of it. But
what about thought? Might not they comprise wave patterns to
patterns that linger on after the thinkers are dead and buried.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Might not that.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Explain the empty footfall in the vacant house, the rattle
of chains now rusted and broken, and even the sound
of voices long ago silenced.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
They'll overtake me, they'll put me in iron, and this
time they'll fang.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, my dear, No, they can't harm you. Now they're
all gone. They'll all turn to doth long ago they
be often.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
You not want to see me swinging in the wind.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
When you know I wouldn't want to see. I must
never slipped.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Abel ship it might be named He Make He.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Me. Our mystery drama, The Strange Voyage of the Lady
d was written especially for The Mystery Theater by Mary
Jane Higbee and stars Paul Hecht and Augusta Dabney. It

(02:22):
is sponsored in part by Sinoff, the Sinus Medicines and
Enhuzer Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly
with that one. If you take a look at the
new nineteen seventy five cars, it doesn't take long to
notice the European influence is strong. And to be sure,
there are some new American cause that rival the Europeans,

(02:46):
one being Buick's new Skylock SR. But don't consider a
Skylock Sr because of its touring car interior or it's
rather rakish profile. Consider it because it's a Buick possessing
many a Buick nicer innovations like the new Buick V six,
a peppery little engine that spits out a plentiful amount

(03:06):
of talk while sipping a surprisingly small amount of gasoline.
And if you wish, Skylock SR can abound with creature
comforts seldom found on cars this size, with available items
like Cruise Master, speed control, a MFM stereo. But you've
heard enough now you need to see and drive a
Skylock SR and try to remember it's not a European

(03:31):
touring car. It's a Buick Muick dedicated to the free
spirit in just about everyone.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
We'll return to mystery theater in just a moment. Food shoppers,
there's really no mystery about saving on food when you
shop thrifty Mart supermarkets. Thrifty Marts are open twenty four
hours a day in suburban communities including Dolphin Park, Forest, Aurora,
Griffith and Hammond. And to prove it, here's the thrifty
Mark twenty four hour special especially for you Mystery theater listeners.

(04:02):
Chocolate chips fifty nine cents. That's right, Baker's twelve ounce
chocolate chips on sale for fifty nine cents at thrifty
mark for the next twenty four hours. Get this dramatic
bargain anytime tonight or get it tomorrow. It's on sale
right now and until tomorrow night at ten thirty at
thrifty Mark. There are forty four thrifty Mart supermarkets in

(04:24):
Illinois and Indiana. Most stores open twenty four hours, offering
the finest in meats, groceries and produce. Remember Baker's twelve
ounce package of chocolate chips just fifty nine cents especially
for you mystery theater listeners at thrifty mark. Limit one
package per customer, please, they're curious at venture that befell

(05:01):
the Stephens family would never have happened if Ellen had
had her way. But Ellen was a realist, her husband, Richard,
a romantic. And when did realism ever hold the line
against the subtle persuasions of romance. It all began during
a visit to one of those cruise ridden, sun drenched

(05:22):
islands in the Caribbean. A friendly family disagreement was in progress.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
An old story. It's been going on now for six years.
It's the one at the end of the dark. Ellen.
There isn't she beautiful?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Very now? She promise you it's a no more boat alms.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Of SUSI at least fifteen years old. We'll never see
it by like this again. They're practically giving you the well, and.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's something wrong with it.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's got Zira, not this ship A step aboard, Ellen.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Richard, why do you start these things? You know we're
not in the market for a.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Boat such a jewel. Wait till you see the cabin,
plenty of headrooms, a beautiful galley.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Can I don't wait?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Can I wait?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
You oh all right, but just one quick look.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
You can'tfull you here. Let me help you. See there
you are now, just look at this after deck. She's
all white oak and seeded, and she's a motor sailor,
you know, a lot better than an auxiliary engine. You
can run just as well under power as under sail.
There are two fifty gallon fuel tanks below deck. The

(06:36):
King really, of course, the ship is a real home. Helen.
What do you say we take a short run. I
have the ignition key. The guy in the boatyard office said,
I could take her out.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh, Richard, I've had it with boat in anyway, the
question's academic. Even if we bought it, we couldn't get
it back to the state.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You could sail it, I said.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Love your mind. It's hundreds of miles.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
She has an enormous cruising wave. What with the engine
and sail. We just watch the weather predictions very carefully.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Come on, move, we we're gonna get off now, Richard, you
take the keys back to the boatyard, ma'am. Now, I'll
get the time, bring it down as far as I can.
I'll pick you up at the gate. Doddy.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Yeah, I want to take a ride in it, can
I slayer?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Doddy? Kenny Kenny hum? Can we goo goo for a boat?

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Right?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Tolorrow?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Know? Depends on your mother. Oh?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Wait, wish he could buy the boat?

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Do you? Doddy?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Do it? You and I watch?

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Wish we could buy the boat.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, that part's all taken care of. I already bought it.
The only problem now is how to break the news
to your mother. Yea, Now, Ellen, you have to admit
this is the light. Look at that sea. It's like glass.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
You too. Come. I don't like the gray mistiness that's
settling over everything. I won't feel good into his sight
line again.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
I won't be long now. We were clipping right along
when we had the sails up. See that's the advantage
of a motor sailor. When the wind died, we could
switch right over the power and still maintain our speed into.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That panicky half hour when you couldn't get the engine started,
just a.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Little corrosion around the points, but a sandpaper fixed that. Here, Ellen,
why don't you take over the wheel? Euh. I want
to go and look at the chart now. The first
boy we picked up is number twelve. From there, we'll
see a light. We make it before nightfall. You can
take over for a few minutes, okay, Susie, I like admit,

(08:57):
you know where we are right now, sailing on the
Spanish main. It sis, that's right. These waters were infested
with pirates in the old days. Blackbeard or Calico Jack Richard.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I think that's a fog closing him. Look ahead.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, well just hold a steady course. We'll be citing
that boy any minute now, Susie, go below and bring
up my binoculars. There's a good girl.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Because visibility is not any too good.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
We can't be far from Port Richie.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
They hope you're not running into one of those awful
piece suits.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Now, don't panic. No, it's Susie fighting. Thanks.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Can you make out anything?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Uh huh, I don't see it, yeah, but we will care.
We wore about the pirate, okay, well, Caliko Jack Rackham.
They called him that because of the fancy clothes he wore.
He sailed with Ann Bonnie. There were girl pirates too,
you know. Yeah, sure, Anne Bonnie and Harry reed, and

(10:03):
from all accounts they were better at it than the men.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Tod's getting awfully sequising. I've never seen one rolling so fast,
and the sun's gone.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
H I'll take over now, I can.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Hold her on court and keep looking for that buoye
we should have been in port long ago.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, we lost a little time trying to start the engine,
and we.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Laugh, of course, not I think we ought to start
counting on fog morn.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Not yet. Don't you want to hear what happened to
Anne Bonnie?

Speaker 5 (10:33):
What happened Jerry?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
So the pirates all went to jail. They hanged poor
old calico Jack. Mary Reed was dying of a fever,
and Anne Bonnie nursed her, and then well, nobody knows
just what did happen. In the morning. When the jail
keeper opened their cell, he found the body of Mary Reed.
But Anne Bonnie was gone, and she disappeared and was

(11:00):
never heard of.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Richard.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Why look look what you've done on Richard?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
How could you want?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
What is it? Monkey?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Wrench is right behind the compass?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Richard? Who put that there?

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Who who was working on the end of that wrench?
Will have plue that compass? So far out of blind
heaven us where we are now?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Sorry, I'm so glad to get that motor started. Oh

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh, if I ever get my feet on dry landing.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Let's keep calm. We are not long.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
No, we're still right here in the Atlantic Ocean. I'm sorry, Ellen,
and I ever let you talk me into this expedition.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
We just just try to keep cool.

Speaker 2 (11:46):

He's right, thirty eight, but that's impossible.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Let me take the wheel again. Al you just idle
here by the boy. There's no thirty eight on this chart.
You're way off course. I have to go below and

Speaker 7 (12:45):
Susie? Shit, it's right.

Speaker 1 (12:47):

You know I haven't smoked in ten years.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I smelled tobacco turned loud.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Why well, let me get at the engine. Maybe there's
a short in the water.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, no, it's not like that. It's tobacco. Did you
hear that? It sounded like somebody loud?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh boy, it's a ship. I didn't beautiful, Oh oh,

Speaker 2 (14:32):

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Maybe she fair as Susie. How could she be? There's
no wind and she seems to get away so far. Elan,
go as slow as you can. I'm going forward and
keep a sharp watch. We don't know what we're heading into.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
And I've got a tottle way down.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
How we reverse revert?

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Quick quarter? In reverse? I pick a back off here?
Let me why that? No use salt a comic fan? Yeah,
the worst stock five One of the most beautiful yet

(15:19):
fearful tales that travelers tell is a loyalize the siren
who sits on a rock, combing her long golden hair
and luring unwary boatmen to their doom, but siren who
smokes to back them. We'll learn more of this unusual

(15:40):
temptress when we returned shortly with Act two. You don't
see many people putting salt in their beer nowadays. Not
that despending wrong with salt on radishes or French fries,
but man not. In the King of Beers. Truth is,

(16:00):
the only thing salt can do for Budweiser is make
it salty, an unwise thing to do to the only
beer in America that's beechwood aged unsolved. Budweiser has become
the most popular beer in the world. That's because in
brewing Bud, the Budweiser brew master goes all the way

(16:20):
for a taste of smoothness, a drinkability you'll find in
no other beer at any price, and something else you
can take without a grain of salt. The fact that
when you say Budweiser, you've said it all Anheuser Bush

(16:42):
Saint Louis.

Dustically times stop shotting shopping.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
There's nothing so eerie is the feel of a ship
gone aground. A living, pulsing body beneath your feet goes
suddenly dead. Aboard the Lady d Only Susie slept that night.
Ellen and Richard kept an anxious vigil, waiting to see

(18:29):
what the dawn would bring. Where were they? How great
was the damage to their boats? On the last question
hung the safety, perhaps the survival of the ship and
her cowp Ellen come up on deck. You gotta see
this flu Look at that sunlight, isn't it My goodness?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh god, you are the one man alive. Who could
run a valuable boat of ground in the middle of nowhere.
You greet the dawn like telling.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Him some sort of ship is sure to pass by. Meantime.
This is a great adventure.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
While the tide runs out. That'll be an adventure and
both in a roll over on her side.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
She won't. She's built like a sea skip. They used
to pull them right up on the beach to unload
the cat. So give us a kiss, Cassandra.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Good morning Darland.

Speaker 1 (19:29):

Go sit bout rush because dear, you'll have a radio,

(21:40):
just a receiving set. Now, mister Campbell, about getting off
the beach, you stuck fast man, Well, if you have
a boat and a tow line at high time and
my motor too small, just a little outboard. I sailed
to the island, and there are other islands near eight

(22:03):
hours to sail there. Could they send out a work
boat from another island? Maybe we have to fetch them.
No wireless on Combo's Islands.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
You mean going your little tailboat?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh nor, mistress, you and the child most stay here?
No boat this more? If I try to keep that
big boat, she take it? You mean the lady with
the pipe will not.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
She has a bout.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
She ought to be welling. No man, Mistress Bonnie has
no boat. There's the other. She look for the boat
all the time. She look Bonnie. Did you say Bonnie?
And body you know about her? Yet she got to

(22:54):
her years ago? That's what they say.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you mean that we were talking to a girl?
Of course, not soothie, and no such things. I can't
you a god, I can't do it. You sensible and

You're both to stuff fast down Gombo's Islands. But dude, yes,
but he's the ghost she don't bring you. Oh you

(23:35):
along together. Look at them striding ahead of us.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
He's driving, she's trotting. What a big powerful man he is.
He's skin like Evan.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
How do you think he is?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't know forty.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
I'm eager to see us both, and I.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Hate to think, if you're starting out all alone with him,
I have to go for help. But why can't he
go by himself?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I don't know, he doesn't seem to do that.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Did you notice the way he had damined our boat of.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Like he was taking inventory? Well?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
What do they call those people who lure ships to
their dune by putting out beacon lights?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Wreckers?

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, you can he the record.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
The thought crossed my mind.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
But we did hear a woman's voice?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I look. There could be two explanations for that. Either
there is a woman on this island in spite of
what Campbell says, or oh he's a ventriloquist. Look look, Ellen,
look down there.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Why if the cattle a ruin, a burnt out ruin
in the world, on this desert island.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
I know what that is. I've seen those burnt mansions before.
This was a plantation in the slave days. When the
slaves were build they burned the house to the ground.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Half of it is still standing.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
There now, the house and the island. I found a
new master. Oh welcome. Do you like a drink before lunch?

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Lunch?

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes, I give you a nice lunch. You like wi
gras cavia at the stream. Any kind of wine. Nothing vodka.
Collins will be just fine. Wood Cock Collins soon come back.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
Mama lit the camels that did an ice cold spring
behind the house.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
And cook let them pineapple.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Look in the corner there cast bronze and enormous. A
propeller that's worth a lot of mine.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
And that wheel.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's hue must have come off a schooner. What does
it say in this plate, Mama.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Dutches of the caribbees Quin, So read that topper A

Usually we don't know that he's a wrecker. You like
my own haf h.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's lovely.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I have good life, man, since I learned to get
along with Mistress Bonney. How did you come here in
the first place, said mister Campbell. I was fisherman. I'd
work no money. One night, she'd take my boat. I
screamed to be silent. I see all these rich things

(26:50):
here on the beach, So I come back in a
new boat. She put that one on the devil's stone,
big rock, the devil. He put his thumb up at
low tide. Then he pull it down at high tide.

(27:11):
Then oh, at low tide he hide it again just
below the water. A long come a sailorman. Up come
the thumb right through the bottom of the boat. The devil,
I think he good friend, Mistress Bonney, Mister Campbell, you

(27:32):
say it will take all day to get to the
nearest boatyard, my boat, But they have work boat much
quicker with power. Will they return here with you in
two three yards? And then can we start tomorrow morning? Yes,
ma'am five o'clock to catch the tide. I have things

(27:53):
to sell, very dear, better than fish. Oh, yes, yes,
better than.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh, it feels good to stretch out. I'm exhausted.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I was certainly glad to get back to her both.
I'm I'm too nervous to sleep, though. I Oh, I
dread the thought of our separating tomorrow room. When I
think of you all by yourself, I'm see you with
that giant of a man.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I'm so right.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I only go along to get help. That would be
perfectly normal, wouldn't it, unless unless there's a price on
his head. Richard, Richard, Oh Richard, are you? Oh Richard?

Speaker 10 (28:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Kill let her get asleep.

Speaker 3 (29:05):

(51:29):
known facts of the strange voyage of the Lady d
To this day, Susie insists she talked to a ghost.
Ellen believes it was a startling example of the power
of the imagination. And Richard has been reading up on
the de materialized nature of modern physics, and he wonders

(51:52):
if somewhere in space there exists a vast psychological viewing
scream picking up impressions from other times and through which
it was the fate of the lady d to pass.
I'll go back shortly. I'm seven twenty five.

Speaker 7 (52:13):
Young minds are so alivee they need the other manner.
College is the place savor the thing fairly, where it's
their turn, their show.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
The way to you and me.

Speaker 8 (52:37):
In college is a place where the future of America
is being built right now. The college is are in
financial trouble, and they need all the help that.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
You and I can give them.

Speaker 8 (52:47):
The dollars you give to the college of your choice
on an investment in America's most important asset, the minds
of the children.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
To please give to the college of your choice.

Speaker 7 (52:57):
Now, I've believe, young man.

Speaker 8 (53:05):
Lie the public service methods of the station and the
advertising hell.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
And.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Now a brief footnote to the story you've just heard.
Among seafaring men, there is a belief as ancient as
the art of navigation itself, that when the wind dies down,
a sailor may bring it to life again by the
simple act of whistling. The mystery concerning the fate of

(53:43):
Anne Bonny, as well as her life of piracy with Calico, Jack,
Mary Reid, and the nefarious Blackbeard, is not legend. It
is thoroughly documented historical fact. Our cast included Augusta Dabney,
Paul Ecked corene Or, Margaret Barker, and Dan Ackle. The

(54:04):
entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown and
now a preview of our next tale. Joe yangs Joe.

Angel to listen to me. There's something wrong. Jack said,
he never told me he won his life.

She her?

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Why she came to the bedroom, didn't actively Fortuny's sake forward?
I mean, you're not making sense. I know I'm not
because what's happening, what's happened to me?

Speaker 10 (54:49):
She doesn't make them?

Later, will somebody explain this?
