the guilty using advanced methods that may ultimately become available

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I'll tell you I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Like it down, mister McGlenn, And that's not good talk
for a first mate. You sound like a superstitious deck swabber.
And the elements feel kindly taught as let them be.
And I know, Captain for five.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Days with the sea as smooth as a skating rink

Well, miss mclenn Perhaps we'll have a good score tomorrow
to restore your pizza of mind.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
For myself, I'll take anything. What's that sounded like the

Speaker 7 (03:24):
That was more than a boiler?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Mccannon? Hello, Hello down there. I don't answer Hello, Captain, Captain,
we've been.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Hello, don we've been what Kepta Jones?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Look there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Who's that white pat on the water coming toward us?
He's a torpedo in a war hold past, Captain.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It's called a hit, I mean hippy. We'll hand the counter.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, captain, there all I puts.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Clay or with this winter and lower away.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
A lively man. We're just getting away in time.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
Say what that goes out of the water then it
heads it?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I just submarine, Cellarine. That's what the braggarts for. Man's
coming out of the submarine. Hats him, you get a
machine gun. It's quite a terrance, love of Hambard.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
He hack me insur agency.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Whoush to cancel my reservation on the Princess Marine?
Speaker 10 (04:41):
But madam digit.
Speaker 11 (04:42):
I'm not sailing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I tell you what it is.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
Suicide.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But mister Williams, you can ship your goods with us.
Our boats are safe. No boat is safe but you'd
be in sure.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yes, at four times the usual rate. Hollo, you can
it's all my.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Shipmen, gentlemen of a maritime commission, we are confronted with
a vital problem. In the past three months have been
at exactly eighteen ships mysteriously sunk on a high seat,
ships belonging to the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan,
in fact, every major power. This series of unexplainable marine
(05:21):
disasters has created a panic throughout the monical world. Passenger
reservations are being canceled, Freight shipments are being withdrawn. Crews
are deserting their ships. Gentlemen, something has cut to be done.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Waiter, some more coffee, Margot, Yes, the month.
Speaker 12 (05:38):
Two more coffees.
Speaker 13 (05:39):
Waiter, Now, what were you saying the month?
Speaker 12 (05:42):
That's this three months ago, Margo. The first ship disappears.
Speaker 14 (05:46):
A few days later, second ship was sunk, this time
a bullet written. Bodies of the crew are found dead,
afloat in their life.
Speaker 12 (05:52):
For years, each.
Speaker 14 (05:54):
Succeeding disaster has been increasingly horrible, and now all shippings,
it is damps not have been brought about by international jealousies.
Because each of the ships sunk has been owned by
a company in a different country.
Speaker 12 (06:08):
But my deduction is it's the work of a pirate.
A pirate, a pirate in the twentieth century, Yes, Margo, and.
Speaker 14 (06:15):
One more callous, more bloodthirsted than any buccaneer whoever sailed
the Spanish main. And why isn't he tracked down? Because
not a single person has ever survived these sinkings. Therefore,
the pirate has never been seen, must be seen sometimes
if he has a submarine.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
Marie Margo.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But how could an individual be in possession of a
submarine without it being known?
Speaker 14 (06:34):
If the man were rich and clever enough, he could
have a submarine built in complete secrecy.
Speaker 12 (06:38):
Must be some way of finding him out Before such
a craft could be constructed. It has to be designed.
There are very few expert designers or submarines in the world.
In the brain of one of them, this pirate craft
must have been conceived. The mond of pirate submarines ound
penty even more fantastic. Margo is the motive of the pirate.
Speaker 14 (06:56):
He's strayed on every kind of ship, from the super
Lionearth to the common tramp.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
He can't be up to booty.
Speaker 14 (07:02):
Because examination of the sunken house has revealed that nothing
has been touched to find an answer to that question.
Speaker 12 (07:09):
As a task for the shadow, But how would you proceed?
Speaker 14 (07:11):
I've already made a few secret inquiries at the Navy
Department in Washington. They told me of one chap who
might be worth investigating him, mister mister Joseph Hart, a
brilliant designer of naval crafts who is dishonorably discharged from
his position. I have learned that he is living all
alone in a small house on an oak road. A
shadow is going to pay a call on mister Joseph
(07:33):
Heart tonight.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
When you pass me that bottle prize.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Sad men are, Joseph, I'm sorry to see you. When
doubting in like a it frequently loosens the tongue.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Sometimes makes the men say things that.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
He later regrets.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Just we share a secret, Joseph, a secret which would
be most unwise either of us could divulge.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I haven't said anything. I haven't talked yet my sadness
to what you might say.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
The nerve is deserting you, Joseph. You must put yourself together.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
How can I pull myself together?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
One night after night I'm tortured by the vision of
a procession of helpless ship sinking down down to the
market depths, honored by the faces of floating corpses tormented violence.
I was, therefore, I designed and built that submarin nervous
for what you were well paid.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
Yes, we're money soaked in blood.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm responsible for a havic and the terror a durance saying.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Oh hey, that's your idiot. I have no madmen to
get here.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Why did you come here?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And I've been because, Joseph, I've been wondering of late,
why I permit you to live. You are becoming increasingly
dangerous to my interest and that you can prove to
me that I'll seek for the safe and that you
will aid me in the future, because in that case,
I feel that you ought to be my guest.
Speaker 10 (08:56):
I'm the next cruiser marine.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I'd never come back.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 12 (09:00):
It's quite true?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But before, shall I say, before you leave us in
mid ocean, you will have an opportunity to see the
splendid efficiency with which your creation the submarines operating.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, all right, you kill me right now and deprive
you of.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Witnessing the frilling spectacle of my accurate marksmanship to see
them leap from the boats and terror like wraps. No, no, Joseph,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Miss seeing that. No I do anything rather than be
forced to see that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I thought you would maintain that attitude, Joseph. Or it
may be necessary for me to request that you pack
your yachting clothes, a contingency which we should both deeply regret.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
Good Night.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
What am I going to do?
Speaker 12 (09:46):
What am I going to do?
Speaker 10 (09:48):
I'll tell you what you can do, Joseph hot Who's that.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
There's a way to save you from the evil domination
of Erry Vinton. I am the voice of one who
has come to help you.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
I am the instrument of your righteous vengeance.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
I am a shadow, the shadow.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
With my assistance, you can compensate for some of the
wrong that.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
You have done.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
But how tell me the secret that you share with Vinton?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Oh no, no, I can't.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
I'm afraid to fear if you remain silent, the shadow
already knows enough to hang you.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Joseph Hart, you haven't got anything on me.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
I heard every word that passed between.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
You and Vinton in this room.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
No, tell me what I want to know and save yourself.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Or perhaps as Vinton so aptly put it, you'd prefer
to pack your yachting clothes.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
No, they could save me. What I've done is done.
I can never escape my kind.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
And your conscience must tell you that if your duty
to all that you can do to stop Vinton's outrages.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
Now tell me the secret very well.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Two a year ago I knew Vent only by his
reputation as a millionaires sportsman. He was famous as a
deep sea fisherman and a big game hunter.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
He came to me.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
First seeking a design for a raising boat. I built
it for him and we became friend.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
And because of that friendship, you consented to build a submarine.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yes, but when out for the purpose that he later used,
he told me that he wanted for a new thriller.
Believe me, go on for the submarine.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Was built in Vinton's private shipyard, how to carry his point.
Knowledge of its construction was carefully guarded from the world.
He was not until the data boat was launched.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That he told me his two intentions.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
What were those intentions?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And his lunatic, coldly, murderously mad. He'd always been a killer,
but he tired his shooting lines, and Gavin made.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
And now his warped brain had turned to what he regarded.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
A new sport, thinking of ships and the ruthless slaying
of defenseless men. Now I understand what did he keep
the submarine?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
You're telling the truth, Joseph hat I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Telling you everything. Why should I line of If I
knew where that boat was, I'd blow to pieces myself with.
Speaker 14 (12:11):
It, my self, wizard way myself.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
That's the idea.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's how I could fool Barry Venton.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Why should I wait to die his hands?
Speaker 6 (12:31):
No, no, you're doing I'll fool very vent their p
down a gun. No more judget sleepless nights. I see
no more screaming headlines. Another boat un in another.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
And a love Joseph, don't very bid'll never take me
on that barn.
Speaker 13 (12:50):
I'll follow my safe, follow.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Poor Joseph hatt the booth.
Speaker 15 (13:02):
Now we shall see whom you have a served test,
Very Vinton or the Shadow.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
In a moment, the Shadow will be back on the
air with surprise, the suspense, and a thrilling unexpected climate.
But meanwhile, here's something mighty important.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
To bear in mind.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
When you drive a car, just remember that rainy days
makes the grass grow greener and may bring out the
best in flowers, but they bring out the worst in.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Row Yes, beware a road that's planted safe when dry
may become a dangerous skid trap when wet, sending your
car skidding, spinning, swerving off the road.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Motorists, why take this chance when you can now get
a sensational new kind of tire that will stop you quicker,
safer than you've ever stopped before.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
The New Goodrich Safety.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Silvertown with the light Saber tread impartial test conducted by
the country's large this independent testing laboratory against the regular
and premium price tires of America's sixth largest.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Manufacturers proved that no.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Tire tested, regardless of price, came up to the New
silver Town in non skid actions. Furthermore, these unbiased tests
shows that the New Goodrich silver Town with light Saber
treads gave more non skid mileage than any of the
other tires tested in its own price range. Imagine the
new Gudrich Silver Towns average nineteen point one percent more
(14:30):
miles before the tire's worse moves, which is the same
as saying you will get every sixth mile free. Yes,
many tires cost more than the new goodrich silver towns,
but no tire at any price can give you the
unequal skid protection of the life saber tread, the exclusive
blowout protection of the golden ply keep dangerous, stranger.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Put a stead of these life saving.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Long mileage tires on your car without delay.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
And so Margot I'd finished telling me the story, and
before I could stop him and shot himself in the head.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
Poor was better than when it's a month now? How
will you find the submarine Joseph.
Speaker 14 (15:22):
Had told me that was built at Vinton's shipyard, out
at Kerry's Point.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
That's the logical place to start my search?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Is that where you're going now? Yes, do be careful Lamont,
remember that man the Louis Pick.
Speaker 12 (15:33):
You'll stop at nothing. Shadow hasn't anything to care for, Vintim.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 14 (15:39):
This is as far as we can safely drive without
being seen.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
It is a desolate spot, like it.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yes, the shipyard appears to be surrounded by a high wall.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
It looks like a prison.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
Perhaps it is a prison for those within its gates.
I go before we go any further, I'll give you
your instruction. I've already been in touch with the United
States Coast Guard. We've been promised giving col cooperation. Once
I found the submarine and no vintment's plans, I shall
communicate with you by our private wireless and then then
you will relay my message directly to the Coast Guard
(16:11):
headquarters in Washington.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
I understand.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
Good luck to the Shadow, the Shadow.
Speaker 13 (16:16):
Thanks you all right?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let it down easy now, okay, Phil, that's the last
the torpedoes.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
Charlie, Hey, the Sun must be going on a long cruise,
this time, taking plenty of supplies and ammunition.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yeah. Hey, what's that?
Speaker 11 (16:41):
There's the wind blow on the door?
Speaker 13 (16:42):
Shut?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Listen, Charlie, when are we going to get out of
this joint? You know we've been cooked up inside this
shipyard for three months.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Let's give me the creep.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
And take it easy.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You gotta be back in prison.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There was nothing scary about prison, and you know when
your time was up, you got out.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Well, maybe we ain't never.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
Gonna get out of here. Huh what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I mean?
Speaker 12 (17:04):
There's hitting guys a bug.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Ain't even let us read no newspapers since we come.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Here stuff about hunting whales with torpedoes.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
That sounds screwy to you.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Listen, if he don't let us out of here.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
It's so nice because.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Over torpedoes aboard.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yes, so we just sent down the last load, but we'll.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
Take care of these empty crates.
Speaker 12 (17:27):
Then you make s in, Yes, sir, mister Vinton.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, we was wondering if we Yeah, me and Charlie
here was just talking about the well, how we've been
in the shipyard here a long time now, and.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
What Phil is.
Speaker 11 (17:43):
Trying to say, mister Vinton, is well, could we have
a couple of days off on the outside.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I'm afraid that would be impossible.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But mister Venton, it's been three months.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I've got a wife and kids.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I ain't well paid. Aren't you sure?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You're giving us plenty of door, right, but we ain't
getting no chance.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
To spend it.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And you will remain here as long as your services
are right.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
What if we don't wanna stay here that long?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
What if we up and leave?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I wouldn't advise you to attempt that. You remember what
happened to your associate, mister Hadley when he tried to
you say up and leave.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
He fell from the wall. You mean you mean that
wasn't no accident?
Speaker 10 (18:17):
No, he was shut down.
Speaker 13 (18:20):
Oh so.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Do you still want to quit?
Speaker 10 (18:27):
I thought that.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Good night, gentlemen.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Yeah, looks like we're in here for a long long time.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, maybe you are. And I'm gonna figure a way
to get out of here.
Speaker 13 (18:40):
See the hats.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I can be of some assist to you.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
Who said that?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I heard it too, I said the HAPs.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
I can help you if you wish to get out
of you.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Who's that talking?
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Where are you?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Don't bother to look for me? You can't see me.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
What is this wanna vent In's gags or something?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
No, I am not speaking for Vinton. I speak for myself.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Oh yeah, men call me the Shadow, the shadow Shadow?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
How'd you get in here?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
The Shadow is everywhere? What do you want I wish
to bargain with you?
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Or what kind of a bargain?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
By this time, you must be aware that you are
both at the mercy.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Of a madman.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
He's right, Charley, you will.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Never leave this place alive unless Arry Vinton is brought
to justice.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
What can we do about it?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
We'll promise you your freedom if you will just answer
my question.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Wait a minute, what do you think, Charley, We're taking
a chance.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
This may be a trick.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
There's no trick that the shadows word.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Well, what do you want to know?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Where is Vinton's submarine.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
Right below our feet and the secret underground birth?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
When does it say again tonight at witness?
Speaker 9 (19:48):
What is its destination?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Well?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I heard Vinton say something that I made about Kate France.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
Good failing at midnight Kate Francis, the Shadow wishes good
hauling Margo Lane.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Calling Margo Lane, proceeded instructed communicate the following information the
Coast Guard headquarters pirate submarine sales at midnight for waters
off Kip Francis impressed on Coast Guard the importance of
following directions. Implicitly, I wished to bait the madman who
was terrorizing the Atlantic.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
What does that position, mister Brush?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
If you have one hundred miles to east of Cape Francis,
are we in the regular shipping lane?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
We have visibility to clear observation some it's Jeff reason
so good. I'll take up a periscope now, very well, sir,
the fine day for hunting, mister Branch.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Hello, Alma's this I'm excited something, sir, take a look.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
Say what you make of it?
Speaker 12 (21:11):
There he spoke, he looks like a steamer. Splendid signaled
the engine room.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Full speed ahead, yesser, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
It is a steamer.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
I can see a funnel.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Hold speed ahead.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Ah.
Speaker 13 (21:24):
This is the life.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
There's nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The sighting of fresh quarry, of this peiscope, the excitement
of the chase, the spine tingling.
Speaker 12 (21:31):
Thrill when the torpedo fights the smock.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And then the climax on Dick shooting them down with
the machine gun like scurrying rats. Mister Browse, stand by
the torpedo tubes. We're coming up fast.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Yessir, can buy.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The torpedo troop fire eyser.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
We'll cut across a bold swing to stop it.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
That should give us a perfect chatting Very good, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Be prepared to ride to the serface quickly. We make
a direct tip of the first torpedo.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Very good, sir.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Don't by the fire an elevator, fire eyser.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
You're almost will in range.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Cut to half speed, half speed ahead.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
No pedo tubes number one and two loaded. He peto
tropes number one and two A loadern look look browse,
it's a fine big liner.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Hurt me sees her right, that's the orpheus, the obvious.
I remember now reading of her sailing.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She has a full passenger list separate embassadors are a.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Bore full passenger this day.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
That sounds most proper thing.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Ah, number one two, ready to fire.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Number one two, ready to fire Now, I'll bring him
a little more of those stars a little more.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, number one fire number one fire.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Yes, it's heading straight for his eye.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
No deflections, should be a perfect closer, closer going to
hit now?
Speaker 12 (22:54):
Why tail to explode?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
But the dud number two two?
Speaker 10 (22:59):
Ready to fire?
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Number two two, Ready to fire, number.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Two fire number two fire.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
We won't fail this time.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Yes you will, mister Vinton. You just fired another dud?
Speaker 12 (23:15):
Who dared say that I did?
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Come out here?
Speaker 12 (23:18):
I can see you.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
You will never see me.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
I am the shadows, Shadowy, I've heard of you.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
The torpedo hit, but it fails to explode again, reload
the torpedo tubes.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
That would be a waste of time.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Venton.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I've seen to it that all of the torpedoes that does.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
You'll regret this, mister shadow.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
This is the one time the tube match wits with
a mine cleverer than your own.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Fly at the pallace.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Thanks for a quick rise to the surfaces.
Speaker 12 (23:46):
I'll show you.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I'll think that boat with my deca Senton. You're a madman, madman,
am i?
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Ha ha?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Very well, I'll show you the full.
Speaker 12 (23:55):
Extent of my madness.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Teck a wi shirt.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Open the conning tower, hatch, get crew, stand by the
man the gun allren't you coming up on deck's shadow
to witness the kill?
Speaker 9 (24:12):
I am already on deck ventom.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Devil plague you. How don't you get up here show yourself?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
That is unnecessary? But never fear, I'll stay near you.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
The gun's a chamcer jammed.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Why that impata I neglected to tell you, vintim that
I rendered your guns useless.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
So you think that you've.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Loved witted me shadow, But you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Single the engine room, full speed ahead, my answer, steer
it directly for that vessel's side.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
What are you doing now?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Vinin the prow of the submarine is equipped the ramming device?
Whether we can sink any vessel of float without injury
to ards?
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You didn't foresee that, did you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Shadow?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
In a few moments, we will rip open the hall
of at liner and send it to the bottom as
effectively as with any torpedo.
Speaker 12 (25:01):
So you don't believe.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Me, Oh yes, I believe you. But that liner is
completely deserted. It was set adrift there by the coast guard.
It's a veritable floating mine with enough explosive support to blow.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
You the kingdom. Come. You're right, you know soon enough.
You haven't thought a girl.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Reverse engines, reverse engines. You will reachtop in time. We're
getting closer. So oh no, we're stopping. We're stopping. We're
not going to hit u.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You see, Shadow, I've outwitted you after all.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
No Vinon maneuvered your submarine alongside the ship just as
I planned.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
All right up there, here's your men.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Have you heard all of your cost.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's a trap.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
It's a trap, very Vinton, and this ends your reign
of tiracy and ruthless murder.
Speaker 12 (25:54):
Very smart, aren't you, Shadow?
Speaker 10 (25:56):
But not as smart as.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
You think you are being hiding?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Yes, yes, they.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
All think they're so clever, but no one can I
smart now e than didn't.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
I'll go a nge move arm and over the dive.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
They'll never get me.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I'm master below here. Oh now check the bowels.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
That's right, that's right, I I I'd.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Love to hear what the Shadow is paying up there now, and.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
He's probably saying, it's no use trying to maneuver that dive.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Very ventil you.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
You.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
How did you get here?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Shadow?
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Why? I merely followed you.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Show yourself, Show yourself, Shadow, and I'll shoot you down
on your trash.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Here I am over here in this corner.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Come ahead and shoot mister Vinton.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Well, Shadow, well you just me?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Why you here?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I'm conf mis deplorable, mister Benson.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Who are you?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
That does not matter?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Why don't you tell them who you are?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
You?
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Glory's see?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I seek no glory.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
My reward is the ships that men can once more
safely sail the seas.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
The shadows work is done.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
You have been listening to a dramatized version of one
of the many copyrighted stories which are bear in the
Shadow magazine.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
The Weed of Crime.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
There's bitters fruit, Crime does not pay.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
The Shadow knows.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
All the characters and all the persons named are fictitious.
Any similarity person's living or dead is purely coincidental.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The shadow knows, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
The shadow of exciting adventure will start in Joe the moment.
But first, I have an announcement that should be set
screaming across every front page in America, because it's all
about the safest thing on wheels, the new Goodrich Fafes
Silvertown tire with the life Saver tread. Imagine, not only

you both of these life saving features at no extra cost.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
The new Gudrits Lifesaver tread has a truly.

Amazing action on wet, slippery road. It does to the
rain drenched roads what your windshield wiper does to the windshield.
Its spiral bars that never end act like a whole

Good Rich Safety Silver Towers, The Sooner, the Paper. The
Shadow of Montkrantst is a man of wealth, a student
of science, and a master of other people's minds. Devotes
his life to righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, and punishing
(02:24):
the guilty using advanced methods that may ultimately become available
to all law enforcement agencies. Cranston is known to the
underworld as the Shadows, never seen only her as haunting,
to superstitious minds, as a ghost, as inevitable as a
guilty conscience. The Shadow's true identity is known only to

his constant friends and aid Margot Lane Today's story, Death

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I'll tell you I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Like it down, mister McGlenn, And that's not good talk
for a first mate. You sound like a superstitious deck swabber.
And the elements feel kindly taught as let them be.
And I know, Captain for five.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Days with the sea as smooth as a skating rink
is a bad omen.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, miss mclenn Perhaps we'll have a good score tomorrow
to restore your pizza of mind.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
For myself, I'll take anything. What's that sounded like the
engine room?
Speaker 7 (03:24):
That was more than a boiler?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Mccannon? Hello, Hello down there. I don't answer Hello, Captain, Captain,
we've been.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Hello, don we've been what Kepta Jones?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Look there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Who's that white pat on the water coming toward us?
He's a torpedo in a war hold past, Captain.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It's called a hit, I mean hippy. We'll hand the counter.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, captain, there all I puts.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Clay or with this winter and lower away.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
A lively man. We're just getting away in time.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
Say what that goes out of the water then it
heads it?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I just submarine, Cellarine. That's what the braggarts for. Man's
coming out of the submarine. Hats him, you get a
machine gun. It's quite a terrance, love of Hambard.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
He hack me insur agency.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Whoush to cancel my reservation on the Princess Marine?
Speaker 10 (04:41):
But madam digit.
Speaker 11 (04:42):
I'm not sailing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I tell you what it is.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
Suicide.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But mister Williams, you can ship your goods with us.
Our boats are safe. No boat is safe but you'd
be in sure.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yes, at four times the usual rate. Hollo, you can
it's all my.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Shipmen, gentlemen of a maritime commission, we are confronted with
a vital problem. In the past three months have been
at exactly eighteen ships mysteriously sunk on a high seat,
ships belonging to the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan,
in fact, every major power. This series of unexplainable marine
(05:21):
disasters has created a panic throughout the monical world. Passenger
reservations are being canceled, Freight shipments are being withdrawn. Crews
are deserting their ships. Gentlemen, something has cut to be done.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Waiter, some more coffee, Margot, Yes, the month.
Speaker 12 (05:38):
Two more coffees.
Speaker 13 (05:39):
Waiter, Now, what were you saying the month?
Speaker 12 (05:42):
That's this three months ago, Margo. The first ship disappears.
Speaker 14 (05:46):
A few days later, second ship was sunk, this time
a bullet written. Bodies of the crew are found dead,
afloat in their life.
Speaker 12 (05:52):
For years, each.
Speaker 14 (05:54):
Succeeding disaster has been increasingly horrible, and now all shippings,
it is damps not have been brought about by international jealousies.
Because each of the ships sunk has been owned by
a company in a different country.
Speaker 12 (06:08):
But my deduction is it's the work of a pirate.
A pirate, a pirate in the twentieth century, Yes, Margo, and.
Speaker 14 (06:15):
One more callous, more bloodthirsted than any buccaneer whoever sailed
the Spanish main. And why isn't he tracked down? Because
not a single person has ever survived these sinkings. Therefore,
the pirate has never been seen, must be seen sometimes
if he has a submarine.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
Marie Margo.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But how could an individual be in possession of a
submarine without it being known?
Speaker 14 (06:34):
If the man were rich and clever enough, he could
have a submarine built in complete secrecy.
Speaker 12 (06:38):
Must be some way of finding him out Before such
a craft could be constructed. It has to be designed.
There are very few expert designers or submarines in the world.
In the brain of one of them, this pirate craft
must have been conceived. The mond of pirate submarines ound
penty even more fantastic. Margo is the motive of the pirate.
Speaker 14 (06:56):
He's strayed on every kind of ship, from the super
Lionearth to the common tramp.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
He can't be up to booty.
Speaker 14 (07:02):
Because examination of the sunken house has revealed that nothing
has been touched to find an answer to that question.
Speaker 12 (07:09):
As a task for the shadow, But how would you proceed?
Speaker 14 (07:11):
I've already made a few secret inquiries at the Navy
Department in Washington. They told me of one chap who
might be worth investigating him, mister mister Joseph Hart, a
brilliant designer of naval crafts who is dishonorably discharged from
his position. I have learned that he is living all
alone in a small house on an oak road. A
shadow is going to pay a call on mister Joseph
(07:33):
Heart tonight.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
When you pass me that bottle prize.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Sad men are, Joseph, I'm sorry to see you. When
doubting in like a it frequently loosens the tongue.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Sometimes makes the men say things that.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
He later regrets.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Just we share a secret, Joseph, a secret which would
be most unwise either of us could divulge.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I haven't said anything. I haven't talked yet my sadness
to what you might say.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
The nerve is deserting you, Joseph. You must put yourself together.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
How can I pull myself together?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
One night after night I'm tortured by the vision of
a procession of helpless ship sinking down down to the
market depths, honored by the faces of floating corpses tormented violence.
I was, therefore, I designed and built that submarin nervous
for what you were well paid.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
Yes, we're money soaked in blood.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm responsible for a havic and the terror a durance saying.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Oh hey, that's your idiot. I have no madmen to
get here.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Why did you come here?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And I've been because, Joseph, I've been wondering of late,
why I permit you to live. You are becoming increasingly
dangerous to my interest and that you can prove to
me that I'll seek for the safe and that you
will aid me in the future, because in that case,
I feel that you ought to be my guest.
Speaker 10 (08:56):
I'm the next cruiser marine.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I'd never come back.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 12 (09:00):
It's quite true?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But before, shall I say, before you leave us in
mid ocean, you will have an opportunity to see the
splendid efficiency with which your creation the submarines operating.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, all right, you kill me right now and deprive
you of.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Witnessing the frilling spectacle of my accurate marksmanship to see
them leap from the boats and terror like wraps. No, no, Joseph,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Miss seeing that. No I do anything rather than be
forced to see that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I thought you would maintain that attitude, Joseph. Or it
may be necessary for me to request that you pack
your yachting clothes, a contingency which we should both deeply regret.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
Good Night.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
What am I going to do?
Speaker 12 (09:46):
What am I going to do?
Speaker 10 (09:48):
I'll tell you what you can do, Joseph hot Who's that.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
There's a way to save you from the evil domination
of Erry Vinton. I am the voice of one who
has come to help you.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
I am the instrument of your righteous vengeance.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
I am a shadow, the shadow.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
With my assistance, you can compensate for some of the
wrong that.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
You have done.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
But how tell me the secret that you share with Vinton?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Oh no, no, I can't.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
I'm afraid to fear if you remain silent, the shadow
already knows enough to hang you.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Joseph Hart, you haven't got anything on me.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
I heard every word that passed between.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
You and Vinton in this room.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
No, tell me what I want to know and save yourself.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Or perhaps as Vinton so aptly put it, you'd prefer
to pack your yachting clothes.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
No, they could save me. What I've done is done.
I can never escape my kind.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
And your conscience must tell you that if your duty
to all that you can do to stop Vinton's outrages.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
Now tell me the secret very well.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Two a year ago I knew Vent only by his
reputation as a millionaires sportsman. He was famous as a
deep sea fisherman and a big game hunter.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
He came to me.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
First seeking a design for a raising boat. I built
it for him and we became friend.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
And because of that friendship, you consented to build a submarine.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yes, but when out for the purpose that he later used,
he told me that he wanted for a new thriller.
Believe me, go on for the submarine.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Was built in Vinton's private shipyard, how to carry his point.
Knowledge of its construction was carefully guarded from the world.
He was not until the data boat was launched.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That he told me his two intentions.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
What were those intentions?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And his lunatic, coldly, murderously mad. He'd always been a killer,
but he tired his shooting lines, and Gavin made.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
And now his warped brain had turned to what he regarded.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
A new sport, thinking of ships and the ruthless slaying
of defenseless men. Now I understand what did he keep
the submarine?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
You're telling the truth, Joseph hat I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Telling you everything. Why should I line of If I
knew where that boat was, I'd blow to pieces myself with.
Speaker 14 (12:11):
It, my self, wizard way myself.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
That's the idea.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's how I could fool Barry Venton.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Why should I wait to die his hands?
Speaker 6 (12:31):
No, no, you're doing I'll fool very vent their p
down a gun. No more judget sleepless nights. I see
no more screaming headlines. Another boat un in another.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
And a love Joseph, don't very bid'll never take me
on that barn.
Speaker 13 (12:50):
I'll follow my safe, follow.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Poor Joseph hatt the booth.
Speaker 15 (13:02):
Now we shall see whom you have a served test,
Very Vinton or the Shadow.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
In a moment, the Shadow will be back on the
air with surprise, the suspense, and a thrilling unexpected climate.
But meanwhile, here's something mighty important.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
To bear in mind.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
When you drive a car, just remember that rainy days
makes the grass grow greener and may bring out the
best in flowers, but they bring out the worst in.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Row Yes, beware a road that's planted safe when dry
may become a dangerous skid trap when wet, sending your
car skidding, spinning, swerving off the road.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Motorists, why take this chance when you can now get
a sensational new kind of tire that will stop you quicker,
safer than you've ever stopped before.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
The New Goodrich Safety.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Silvertown with the light Saber tread impartial test conducted by
the country's large this independent testing laboratory against the regular
and premium price tires of America's sixth largest.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Manufacturers proved that no.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Tire tested, regardless of price, came up to the New
silver Town in non skid actions. Furthermore, these unbiased tests
shows that the New Goodrich silver Town with light Saber
treads gave more non skid mileage than any of the
other tires tested in its own price range. Imagine the
new Gudrich Silver Towns average nineteen point one percent more
(14:30):
miles before the tire's worse moves, which is the same
as saying you will get every sixth mile free. Yes,
many tires cost more than the new goodrich silver towns,
but no tire at any price can give you the
unequal skid protection of the life saber tread, the exclusive
blowout protection of the golden ply keep dangerous, stranger.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Put a stead of these life saving.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Long mileage tires on your car without delay.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
And so Margot I'd finished telling me the story, and
before I could stop him and shot himself in the head.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
Poor was better than when it's a month now? How
will you find the submarine Joseph.
Speaker 14 (15:22):
Had told me that was built at Vinton's shipyard, out
at Kerry's Point.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
That's the logical place to start my search?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Is that where you're going now? Yes, do be careful Lamont,
remember that man the Louis Pick.
Speaker 12 (15:33):
You'll stop at nothing. Shadow hasn't anything to care for, Vintim.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 14 (15:39):
This is as far as we can safely drive without
being seen.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
It is a desolate spot, like it.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yes, the shipyard appears to be surrounded by a high wall.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
It looks like a prison.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
Perhaps it is a prison for those within its gates.
I go before we go any further, I'll give you
your instruction. I've already been in touch with the United
States Coast Guard. We've been promised giving col cooperation. Once
I found the submarine and no vintment's plans, I shall
communicate with you by our private wireless and then then
you will relay my message directly to the Coast Guard
(16:11):
headquarters in Washington.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
I understand.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
Good luck to the Shadow, the Shadow.
Speaker 13 (16:16):
Thanks you all right?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let it down easy now, okay, Phil, that's the last
the torpedoes.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
Charlie, Hey, the Sun must be going on a long cruise,
this time, taking plenty of supplies and ammunition.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yeah. Hey, what's that?
Speaker 11 (16:41):
There's the wind blow on the door?
Speaker 13 (16:42):
Shut?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Listen, Charlie, when are we going to get out of
this joint? You know we've been cooked up inside this
shipyard for three months.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Let's give me the creep.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
And take it easy.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You gotta be back in prison.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There was nothing scary about prison, and you know when
your time was up, you got out.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Well, maybe we ain't never.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
Gonna get out of here. Huh what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I mean?
Speaker 12 (17:04):
There's hitting guys a bug.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Ain't even let us read no newspapers since we come.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Here stuff about hunting whales with torpedoes.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
That sounds screwy to you.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Listen, if he don't let us out of here.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
It's so nice because.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Over torpedoes aboard.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yes, so we just sent down the last load, but we'll.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
Take care of these empty crates.
Speaker 12 (17:27):
Then you make s in, Yes, sir, mister Vinton.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, we was wondering if we Yeah, me and Charlie
here was just talking about the well, how we've been
in the shipyard here a long time now, and.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
What Phil is.
Speaker 11 (17:43):
Trying to say, mister Vinton, is well, could we have
a couple of days off on the outside.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I'm afraid that would be impossible.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But mister Venton, it's been three months.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I've got a wife and kids.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I ain't well paid. Aren't you sure?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You're giving us plenty of door, right, but we ain't
getting no chance.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
To spend it.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And you will remain here as long as your services
are right.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
What if we don't wanna stay here that long?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
What if we up and leave?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I wouldn't advise you to attempt that. You remember what
happened to your associate, mister Hadley when he tried to
you say up and leave.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
He fell from the wall. You mean you mean that
wasn't no accident?
Speaker 10 (18:17):
No, he was shut down.
Speaker 13 (18:20):
Oh so.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Do you still want to quit?
Speaker 10 (18:27):
I thought that.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Good night, gentlemen.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Yeah, looks like we're in here for a long long time.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, maybe you are. And I'm gonna figure a way
to get out of here.
Speaker 13 (18:40):
See the hats.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I can be of some assist to you.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
Who said that?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I heard it too, I said the HAPs.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
I can help you if you wish to get out
of you.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Who's that talking?
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Where are you?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Don't bother to look for me? You can't see me.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
What is this wanna vent In's gags or something?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
No, I am not speaking for Vinton. I speak for myself.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Oh yeah, men call me the Shadow, the shadow Shadow?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
How'd you get in here?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
The Shadow is everywhere? What do you want I wish
to bargain with you?
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Or what kind of a bargain?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
By this time, you must be aware that you are
both at the mercy.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Of a madman.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
He's right, Charley, you will.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Never leave this place alive unless Arry Vinton is brought
to justice.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
What can we do about it?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
We'll promise you your freedom if you will just answer
my question.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Wait a minute, what do you think, Charley, We're taking
a chance.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
This may be a trick.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
There's no trick that the shadows word.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Well, what do you want to know?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Where is Vinton's submarine.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
Right below our feet and the secret underground birth?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
When does it say again tonight at witness?
Speaker 9 (19:48):
What is its destination?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Well?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I heard Vinton say something that I made about Kate France.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
Good failing at midnight Kate Francis, the Shadow wishes good
hauling Margo Lane.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Calling Margo Lane, proceeded instructed communicate the following information the
Coast Guard headquarters pirate submarine sales at midnight for waters
off Kip Francis impressed on Coast Guard the importance of
following directions. Implicitly, I wished to bait the madman who
was terrorizing the Atlantic.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
What does that position, mister Brush?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
If you have one hundred miles to east of Cape Francis,
are we in the regular shipping lane?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
We have visibility to clear observation some it's Jeff reason
so good. I'll take up a periscope now, very well, sir,
the fine day for hunting, mister Branch.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Hello, Alma's this I'm excited something, sir, take a look.

the engine room.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Full speed ahead, yesser, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Ah.
Speaker 13 (21:24):
This is the life.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
There's nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The sighting of fresh quarry, of this peiscope, the excitement
of the chase, the spine tingling.
Speaker 12 (21:31):
Thrill when the torpedo fights the smock.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And then the climax on Dick shooting them down with
the machine gun like scurrying rats. Mister Browse, stand by
the torpedo tubes. We're coming up fast.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Yessir, can buy.
Speaker 5 (21:45):

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Be prepared to ride to the serface quickly. We make
a direct tip of the first torpedo.

Don't by the fire an elevator, fire eyser.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
You're almost will in range.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Cut to half speed, half speed ahead.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
No pedo tubes number one and two loaded. He peto
tropes number one and two A loadern look look browse,
it's a fine big liner.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Hurt me sees her right, that's the orpheus, the obvious.
I remember now reading of her sailing.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She has a full passenger list separate embassadors are a.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Bore full passenger this day.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
That sounds most proper thing.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Ah, number one two, ready to fire.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Number one two, ready to fire Now, I'll bring him
a little more of those stars a little more.
Speaker 3 (22:33):

Speaker 7 (22:40):

Speaker 3 (22:42):
No deflections, should be a perfect closer, closer going to

Who dared say that I did?
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Come out here?
Speaker 12 (23:18):
I can see you.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
You will never see me.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
I am the shadows, Shadowy, I've heard of you.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
The torpedo hit, but it fails to explode again, reload
the torpedo tubes.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
That would be a waste of time.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Venton.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I've seen to it that all of the torpedoes that does.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
You'll regret this, mister shadow.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
This is the one time the tube match wits with
a mine cleverer than your own.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Fly at the pallace.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Thanks for a quick rise to the surfaces.
Speaker 12 (23:46):
I'll show you.
Speaker 3 (23:47):

man the gun allren't you coming up on deck's shadow
to witness the kill?
Speaker 9 (24:12):
I am already on deck ventom.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Devil plague you. How don't you get up here show yourself?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
That is unnecessary? But never fear, I'll stay near you.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
The gun's a chamcer jammed.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Why that impata I neglected to tell you, vintim that
I rendered your guns useless.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
So you think that you've.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Loved witted me shadow, But you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Single the engine room, full speed ahead, my answer, steer
it directly for that vessel's side.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
What are you doing now?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Vinin the prow of the submarine is equipped the ramming device?
Whether we can sink any vessel of float without injury
to ards?
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You didn't foresee that, did you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Shadow?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
In a few moments, we will rip open the hall
of at liner and send it to the bottom as
effectively as with any torpedo.
Speaker 12 (25:01):
So you don't believe.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Me, Oh yes, I believe you. But that liner is
completely deserted. It was set adrift there by the coast guard.
It's a veritable floating mine with enough explosive support to blow.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
You the kingdom. Come. You're right, you know soon enough.
You haven't thought a girl.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Reverse engines, reverse engines. You will reachtop in time. We're
getting closer. So oh no, we're stopping. We're stopping. We're
not going to hit u.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You see, Shadow, I've outwitted you after all.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
No Vinon maneuvered your submarine alongside the ship just as
I planned.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
All right up there, here's your men.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Have you heard all of your cost.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's a trap.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
It's a trap, very Vinton, and this ends your reign
of tiracy and ruthless murder.
Speaker 12 (25:54):
Very smart, aren't you, Shadow?
Speaker 10 (25:56):
But not as smart as.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
You think you are being hiding?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Yes, yes, they.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
All think they're so clever, but no one can I
smart now e than didn't.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
I'll go a nge move arm and over the dive.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
They'll never get me.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I'm master below here. Oh now check the bowels.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
That's right, that's right, I I I'd.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Love to hear what the Shadow is paying up there now, and.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
He's probably saying, it's no use trying to maneuver that dive.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Very ventil you.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
You.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
How did you get here?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Shadow?
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Why? I merely followed you.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Show yourself, Show yourself, Shadow, and I'll shoot you down
on your trash.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Here I am over here in this corner.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Come ahead and shoot mister Vinton.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Well, Shadow, well you just me?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Why you here?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I'm conf mis deplorable, mister Benson.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Who are you?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
That does not matter?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Why don't you tell them who you are?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
You?
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Glory's see?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I seek no glory.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
My reward is the ships that men can once more
safely sail the seas.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
The shadows work is done.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
You have been listening to a dramatized version of one
of the many copyrighted stories which are bear in the
Shadow magazine.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
The Weed of Crime.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
There's bitters fruit, Crime does not pay.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
The Shadow knows.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
All the characters and all the persons named are fictitious.
Any similarity person's living or dead is purely coincidental.
