Speaker 1 (00:10):
Obsession, and.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The fiction writers have long been seeking that plot which
is known as the perfect crime. But like the elusive
will of the Whisp, it is always just beyond reach.
Murder will out, say the wise ones, and the pursuer
is often that shadowy ghost known as conscience.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
In a moment.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You'll hear such a case in the story of Cry
of Engines, starring Barton the Oberal and Michael Raffetto a
tale told in the Belgian Congo of violence, death and greed,
which brought two men with stern justice, true men trapped
(01:12):
in a pitfall of their own obsession.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The Belgian Congo is a vast place whereas strangeness is
as commonplace as a preteratory animals which roam the jungles,
it is a place also of love, and where isolation
is a thing of necessity, not of choice. On a
(03:07):
black trail, two men ride toward a destination charted on
a map of greed. Their names Harris and Pitkin, and
their plans are as dark as the blackness of their
own obsession.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, but how can we be sure that Canning has
got any money? I must have stance resas on its
lived out there on that farm for years. He must
have some money and he's never spent any Well, what
do you mean he's a kind of a miser. Yeah,
that's it. Too stingy to even have any help on
(03:54):
the place. It's all by himself. That's why it's gonna
be easy. And there's farm room is that place we
passed eight or nine kilometers back? Mm? Well, I guess
they won't hear him holler then anyhow out of a chance, well,
they probably won't even find him. Nobody ever comes along here. Hey,

ain't that it right over there? Yeah? Yeah, that's it. Well, now,
just how you're gonna go about this?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Now, Well, we've.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Got a stall a little and see if we can
find out where he's got his money. See, we'll ride
up and ask him if we can stay for supper
and offer to pay. Then we'll keep an eye on
what he does with the money we give him.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That might give him an idea where the rest of
it's head.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah. If that don't work, why I'll try to draw
him out a little. So don't be too anxious with
that revolt.

Hey, Kenny, Kenny, Hey Edny, oh Kenny.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Any good lord Bell, they'll find them.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, what if they do, they're not trying to get us.
We'll be aboard ship by the week.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I can't get over the line in the Portuguese territory
without horses. We can't go on to take days.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't worry. We're gonna have horses.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, well, what do you mean we're gonna take their
horses when they come out? There's only two of them,
and there's two of us, and we've got a gun. Say,
where is that revolver? Why?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's right?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
What?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
What pitkin? What's the matter?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I left it in there in the house, on the
table in the house. Yeah, find chance of holding them
up and getting their horses out of gun.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll have to go on without horses.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We can't. We We've got to now, we've got to
get into Portuguese territory by morning.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yes, murder, we'll out, say the wise ones.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
As they also have said that the best laid plans
of man will ofttimes go awride, And no matter how
vast the jungles, there will always be the pursuers and
pursued it is the law of the jungle. In a moment,
(14:23):
we'll return to our story. It is always the unexpected
(15:04):
that reeks vengeance and the formula of the stern law
of justice. Pitkin and Harris had planned the perfect crime,
but the shot that went crashing into the brain of
gentle old Kinnig frightened their horses, and they broke away
from their tether. Now Harris and Pitkin are attempting the
(15:27):
perilous journey to the Portuguese territory on foot. In the jungles,
the monkeys chatter, and their bright plumage birds fill the creeping,
vine laced air for their unearthly cries. Every sound of
the dank, steaming growth of untold centuries now resounds in
(15:48):
the minds of Pitkin and Harris as two words cry vengeance,
two words that have become their upset.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Hey. Wait, wait a minute, wait, we're lost. I tell
you well, you know we are. Oll stop your whining. Yeah,
I know where we are. I'll be inside of the
river within an hour. That's what you said. This morning
must be long past noon. Now, I tell you we've
(16:24):
been going in a circle. We'll never get out of here.
We'll die here we'll die and rot here?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What's come out? Will you come on? What's that?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh? I'll tell me a couple of monkeys up there.
We'll just stop wasting your breath talking. I can't go
any further. I I got arrest. I can't shut up
and come on, I can't. I got arrest. I'm not
going any further until I you wanna spend the night
in here? If you don't, you better get a hout.
(16:56):
It's a long time to dark. We can afford the
rest a few minutes. I'm going to you didn't go
on if you want to, It's only walk in the
circles anyhow, I'm gonna stay right here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
H alright, oh, alright? Five minutes?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Say what he thinks?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Said?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
The animals were his friends, hm, and they certainly been
friendly to him so far. If it hadn't been for
the animals, we we wouldn't be in this fix.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
What he mean?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My horse is running away and leaving us to go
on foot. The chickens attracting the attention to those men. Ey,
you know, I wonder what started them squawking?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
All rubbish?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Were could have taken their horses if if you hadn't
left your revolver in the house. Do you suppose they'll
be able to find out who that revolver belonged to?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Won't do any good if they do find out. Nobody
could track it through this jungle. As bad off as
we might be, we'd had horses and gone by the road,
they could have followed us easy. The jungle here they
they wouldn't have a chance they get passed within fifty
feet of us right now or not see us. Yeah,
(18:15):
I never thought of that. And another thing, they never
expect us to cut through the jungle in the first place.
They naturally supposed we took the road. That's where they're
looking for us. More than likely, if they are looking
for us, by the time they find out that we're
not on the road, we'll be across the river. Yeah,
if we can find the river. Oh, we'll find it.
(18:38):
I lost my bearings for a while this morning, but
I'm all right now. We'll be at the river up. Hey, listen, listen,
did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Keep quiet? I'll curse the monkeys.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Hey, he's coming this way, Get out, Get out, keep quiet?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Wiry? Is that you wirish me? Where's the ward? I
thought I heard something over here.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
They are trailing us. We'll never get us. I haven't
a chance to tell you. We'll find us in here
many years. We gotta lay load though for a while.
We'll get out of here before night. We can't make
I wait through the jungle at night, and we'll wait
till morning.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They'll soon get tired of feting through this bush. And
we're we're safe here just as long as we.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Find beckon, beckon dogs. They're trailing us with dogs, beckon horses,
chickens and our dogs or everything's against us, everything on.
Come on, there'll be a fool. We gotta keep mone.
What they use will never reach the river. Come on,
come on right? Where where are they right?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Let me listen a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
They're over there to the left, I think, come on,
come on this way now, and then they are ahead.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They're right ahead of us. We'll double back and I
would throw them off.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And I guess if we get on the rest, just
a little of.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
This heat, can talk and you talk, keep moving, Come on, yeh.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
A lord, And.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They're ahead of us still. They got to surrounding this
way for me. Stop this way.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
No, no, I can't, it's no use going on the Goddess, horses, chickens, dogs, animals,
betraying us.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, we can't beat them.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm I'm gonna give up upon it. Come on, I'm
not going I'm gonna give up. Come on, come on
to hear me. Come on, or I'll kill you. I
go I head, go ahead, kill me. I don't care
what his dogs can follow. I'm not afraid of the men, animals, animalists. Oh,
(21:33):
I'm gonna give myself up.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'm gonna call him.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I'm gonna tell him you do, Harris, and I'll choke
you to death with my bare hands. You're here, and
I mean it. I'm gonna get to the river and
I'm not gonna let you or anyone else stop me.
Do you hear that? And if you make a noise,
I don't care. I'm gonna give up, Harris. I'm gonna
get us here. We are over here, Harris, Harris.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
How your p.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Hock ad?
Speaker 9 (24:58):
I the god? You know, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Man made justice does not always triumph. The courts do
not always meet out the law. The blind goddess of
justice will have her way in many forms, and the
scales will always be in balance, such is the case
with Pitkin and Harris. Old Man Kinnic is avenged and
(25:58):
the jungles close in the Faithful Chapter, and no longer
does it cry vengeance through the dark quarters about guilty
men's obsession. In a moment, I'll return and tell you
about our story for next week. Next week, Barry Sullivan
(27:28):
will join us in a story called Faith is the Evidence,
in which a man walks a lonely path in a
search for that elusive thing we know is contentment, but wanders,
not knowing that his lamp of.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Discovery casts the black light of.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Obsession.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Our story was produced and transcribed by C. P.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
McGregor in Hollywood, co
Obsession, and.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The fiction writers have long been seeking that plot which
is known as the perfect crime. But like the elusive
will of the Whisp, it is always just beyond reach.
Murder will out, say the wise ones, and the pursuer
is often that shadowy ghost known as conscience.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
In a moment.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You'll hear such a case in the story of Cry
of Engines, starring Barton the Oberal and Michael Raffetto a
tale told in the Belgian Congo of violence, death and greed,
which brought two men with stern justice, true men trapped
(01:12):
in a pitfall of their own obsession.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The Belgian Congo is a vast place whereas strangeness is
as commonplace as a preteratory animals which roam the jungles,
it is a place also of love, and where isolation
is a thing of necessity, not of choice. On a
(03:07):
black trail, two men ride toward a destination charted on
a map of greed. Their names Harris and Pitkin, and
their plans are as dark as the blackness of their
own obsession.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, but how can we be sure that Canning has
got any money? I must have stance resas on its
lived out there on that farm for years. He must
have some money and he's never spent any Well, what
do you mean he's a kind of a miser. Yeah,
that's it. Too stingy to even have any help on
(03:54):
the place. It's all by himself. That's why it's gonna
be easy. And there's farm room is that place we
passed eight or nine kilometers back? Mm? Well, I guess
they won't hear him holler then anyhow out of a chance, well,
they probably won't even find him. Nobody ever comes along here. Hey,
(04:19):
ain't that it right over there? Yeah? Yeah, that's it. Well, now,
just how you're gonna go about this?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Now, Well, we've.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Got a stall a little and see if we can
find out where he's got his money. See, we'll ride
up and ask him if we can stay for supper
and offer to pay. Then we'll keep an eye on
what he does with the money we give him.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That might give him an idea where the rest of
it's head.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah. If that don't work, why I'll try to draw
him out a little. So don't be too anxious with
that revolt.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Hey wait a.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Minute, I thought you always gonna do that care Well, alright, alright,
I just as leave as not only if I'm gonna
do the talking, somebody else has got to do the
dirty work, don't they.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I can't do boat.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
No, I know, and I'll do it. But listen, Uh,
how am I gonna know when?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh, let's see. Uh, I'll tell you after I found
out all I can find out. I'll say to you
it seems to be a little bit cooler this evening.
And then you'll let him have it in the back. Okay,
(05:38):
I'll be listening for you they say it. Let's see,
we ought to be able to get started again just
after dark. By morning, we'll be in Portuguese territory and safe,
and we'll be in Lowanda and on a boat before
they ever find him.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Maybe they'll never find him. Uh oh oh oh oh.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
The house is back in that clump of trees there.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Might yeah, I heah, I seen the smoke from the chimney.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Uh huh.

Hey, Kenny, Kenny, Hey Edny, oh Kenny.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Any good lord Bell, they'll find them.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, what if they do, they're not trying to get us.
We'll be aboard ship by the week.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I can't get over the line in the Portuguese territory
without horses. We can't go on to take days.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't worry. We're gonna have horses.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, well, what do you mean we're gonna take their
horses when they come out? There's only two of them,
and there's two of us, and we've got a gun. Say,
where is that revolver? Why?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's right?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
What?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
What pitkin? What's the matter?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I left it in there in the house, on the
table in the house. Yeah, find chance of holding them
up and getting their horses out of gun.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll have to go on without horses.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We can't. We We've got to now, we've got to
get into Portuguese territory by morning.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yes, murder, we'll out, say the wise ones.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
As they also have said that the best laid plans
of man will ofttimes go awride, And no matter how
vast the jungles, there will always be the pursuers and
pursued it is the law of the jungle. In a moment,
(14:23):
we'll return to our story. It is always the unexpected
(15:04):
that reeks vengeance and the formula of the stern law
of justice. Pitkin and Harris had planned the perfect crime,
but the shot that went crashing into the brain of
gentle old Kinnig frightened their horses, and they broke away
from their tether. Now Harris and Pitkin are attempting the
(15:27):
perilous journey to the Portuguese territory on foot. In the jungles,
the monkeys chatter, and their bright plumage birds fill the creeping,
vine laced air for their unearthly cries. Every sound of
the dank, steaming growth of untold centuries now resounds in
(15:48):
the minds of Pitkin and Harris as two words cry vengeance,
two words that have become their upset.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Hey. Wait, wait a minute, wait, we're lost. I tell
you well, you know we are. Oll stop your whining. Yeah,
I know where we are. I'll be inside of the
river within an hour. That's what you said. This morning
must be long past noon. Now, I tell you we've
(16:24):
been going in a circle. We'll never get out of here.
We'll die here we'll die and rot here?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What's come out? Will you come on? What's that?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh? I'll tell me a couple of monkeys up there.
We'll just stop wasting your breath talking. I can't go
any further. I I got arrest. I can't shut up
and come on, I can't. I got arrest. I'm not
going any further until I you wanna spend the night
in here? If you don't, you better get a hout.
(16:56):
It's a long time to dark. We can afford the
rest a few minutes. I'm going to you didn't go
on if you want to, It's only walk in the
circles anyhow, I'm gonna stay right here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
H alright, oh, alright? Five minutes?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Say what he thinks?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Said?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
The animals were his friends, hm, and they certainly been
friendly to him so far. If it hadn't been for
the animals, we we wouldn't be in this fix.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
What he mean?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My horse is running away and leaving us to go
on foot. The chickens attracting the attention to those men. Ey,
you know, I wonder what started them squawking?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
All rubbish?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Were could have taken their horses if if you hadn't
left your revolver in the house. Do you suppose they'll
be able to find out who that revolver belonged to?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Won't do any good if they do find out. Nobody
could track it through this jungle. As bad off as
we might be, we'd had horses and gone by the road,
they could have followed us easy. The jungle here they
they wouldn't have a chance they get passed within fifty
feet of us right now or not see us. Yeah,
(18:15):
I never thought of that. And another thing, they never
expect us to cut through the jungle in the first place.
They naturally supposed we took the road. That's where they're
looking for us. More than likely, if they are looking
for us, by the time they find out that we're
not on the road, we'll be across the river. Yeah,
if we can find the river. Oh, we'll find it.
(18:38):
I lost my bearings for a while this morning, but
I'm all right now. We'll be at the river up. Hey, listen, listen,
did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Keep quiet? I'll curse the monkeys.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Hey, he's coming this way, Get out, Get out, keep quiet?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Wiry? Is that you wirish me? Where's the ward? I
thought I heard something over here.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
They are trailing us. We'll never get us. I haven't
a chance to tell you. We'll find us in here
many years. We gotta lay load though for a while.
We'll get out of here before night. We can't make
I wait through the jungle at night, and we'll wait
till morning.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They'll soon get tired of feting through this bush. And
we're we're safe here just as long as we.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Find beckon, beckon dogs. They're trailing us with dogs, beckon horses,
chickens and our dogs or everything's against us, everything on.
Come on, there'll be a fool. We gotta keep mone.
What they use will never reach the river. Come on,
come on right? Where where are they right?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Let me listen a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
They're over there to the left, I think, come on,
come on this way now, and then they are ahead.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They're right ahead of us. We'll double back and I
would throw them off.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And I guess if we get on the rest, just
a little of.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
This heat, can talk and you talk, keep moving, Come on, yeh.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
A lord, And.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They're ahead of us still. They got to surrounding this
way for me. Stop this way.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
No, no, I can't, it's no use going on the Goddess, horses, chickens, dogs, animals,
betraying us.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, we can't beat them.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm I'm gonna give up upon it. Come on, I'm
not going I'm gonna give up. Come on, come on
to hear me. Come on, or I'll kill you. I
go I head, go ahead, kill me. I don't care
what his dogs can follow. I'm not afraid of the men, animals, animalists. Oh,
(21:33):
I'm gonna give myself up.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'm gonna call him.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I'm gonna tell him you do, Harris, and I'll choke
you to death with my bare hands. You're here, and
I mean it. I'm gonna get to the river and
I'm not gonna let you or anyone else stop me.
Do you hear that? And if you make a noise,
I don't care. I'm gonna give up, Harris. I'm gonna
get us here. We are over here, Harris, Harris.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Got here this way?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You can't.

How your p.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Hock ad?
Speaker 9 (24:58):
I the god? You know, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Man made justice does not always triumph. The courts do
not always meet out the law. The blind goddess of
justice will have her way in many forms, and the
scales will always be in balance, such is the case
with Pitkin and Harris. Old Man Kinnic is avenged and
(25:58):
the jungles close in the Faithful Chapter, and no longer
does it cry vengeance through the dark quarters about guilty
men's obsession. In a moment, I'll return and tell you
about our story for next week. Next week, Barry Sullivan
(27:28):
will join us in a story called Faith is the Evidence,
in which a man walks a lonely path in a
search for that elusive thing we know is contentment, but wanders,
not knowing that his lamp of.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Discovery casts the black light of.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Obsession.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Our story was produced and transcribed by C. P.
