He has to take the box round to the young ladies,
to whom half of it rightfully belongs. Let her be
the first to open it, he Watson, it would be
a great pleasure to me. Homes rather any great you

(06:04):
we get it exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
The coas you must be handed over to the authorities
afterwards until after the official investigation.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Certainly, is there only that I insist upon your dining

them to cast off now right cost.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
A where go for the power? Tell them the top
up was at Jacobson's yard, Oh said Jacobson's yard, sploded craft.
We ought to be able to catch anything. If the
(07:17):
brothers seem a world hid.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
There are many lauders to be this, I.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Can tell you. So she'll need to be smart to
catch the aurora. She has a name for being a pepper.
Now I'll tell you how the land lies. Yes, how
would small conceal my launch? And seeing you how the
police enquires were shaping?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
If I were in his shoes, I might hand her
over to some boat preparer with directions to make a
trifling change in that she would then be removed to
his shed or yard, and so be effectually concealed, while
at the same time she'd be available again.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
At a few hours notice. As you lodged alow.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Had Jacobson's yard, I learned that the aurora had been
handed over to them by a wooden leg.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Then with some.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Crisical directions as to our brother at that moment, who
should come down but Mordecai Smith, the missing owner.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
But how did you recognize you? He bellow as his
name and the name of his launch.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I wanted a knight, said he at eight o'clock sharp.
But I have two gentlemen who won't be kept waiting
for and I was lucky enough to pick up one
of my boys on the way, so I stationed a
business simply over the launch.

stsitive to us when they start.

anything made him suspicious, he'd lie stand for another week.
If you might have started morning guy Smith's hosy, he
led you to their hiding place.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I think it's one hundred of one against Smith's knowing
where they live. Why should he ask questions?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, there's Jacobson's yard anyway, where those marsters standing up?
I see ah, yes, yes, I can see my sentry
through his night glasses.

begins when I was eighty I'm so dream in India
(17:21):
with a third.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Back a crododile in a gang sniffed out in my
right leg, this case a timber strap in the stump.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was usual for anything active.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Im Lucky for me.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I got a good dramas oversea an indigo.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Plantation, and that was all right, so mute me.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I got an agad just before the seats closed.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
It off.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, kind of long storry sor that's right, get on.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I joined number three Indians and joy Abdullahan, Mohammed Singh
and dost that pass in a bit of a plot
to get some trailer off a regugee merchant that wasn't.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
One of my idea.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Well, of course he couldn't work.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It without me, and they put it to me at
the point of my life, join them, But I get
down in wow. I killed the merchant. I never touched
in mind. I hid the body in the fort while
I was no use to hiding the treasure while we
were on the steed. So he had that too.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I had grown four plans of work, was and we
put the sign of the four of us at the
bottom and swore that we should each always.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Act for all, leave out the time sinking us well.
And he was broken, and we thought we were safe,
but the merchants got in his fame, and from there
we were suspected.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Figure about the trial, we all got painless servitude kind
of life, wasn't the treasure found them?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Not a word if it came out of the trial.
But there they were shipped after the animals to survey
our time and worked out. Fortunately couldn't touch go.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
After a few years, I just put the dispensing with
the surgeon added in my little hut next to his quarters,
and some of the.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Officers used to come and play tads with him. The eatings.
There was Major Sholto and Captain Morrison and some others.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well, I used draw to him talking, and I pretty
soon struck me that Major Shulter was falling in for
some pretty big losses. Not please the money thing, I
heard him say, that's all at Morriston, I'm a ruling man.
So when the Captain had walked out of these quarters,
I look out and ask them Major if I could
have his advice?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
What about says he?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well, sir right said, I happen to nowhere halfm and
in hidden treasure lines. And I thought if I told
the proper atargeist, it might get my sentence shortened for
me get handle it. I could see him think it over,
like well the apshot of it is. But he comes
back the next day with Captain Morriston and a.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Little what you might put an official proposition to do
mean just saying mine, I didn't betray the friends. We
had a little meeting the three Indians and or two
opices in me, and I was decided Major Solo will
go to Aground with Palada Cator.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Then he's in a small yacht. Proditionis for a voyage
the Indians and I would get away in it.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Claptain Mowson would apply to need to go to Waglass.
I would all meet there for a time and share
out of the taser. Say this way, you're small if
this is.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
A year on your spinning. I never heard a legement before.
What do you say those? I hinton your the truth
and you didn't get run next that very shot? Oh
after I heard that he never came back.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
No, yeah, that's just nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
What else did you eat it? On? Officers words? Four
convicts to keep faith with deach other And then you
might have thought that there, let's hear the rest of it.
Oh can that day. I lived only to escape and
track down show though die. But it was weird years
before the time came. Wodn't there? I've never known him?
That was picked up in the woods, sitting.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Nearly to death with Peter.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
He was venerous as a young snake, but as a
nast him around he took quite a fancy to me.
Was this tongue? That's right, Joe.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
He was a plain boatman and he owned a big
roomy canoe. He didn't leave much talking into getting me
away from that place.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Now we've got to sing the poor from there. We
wandered about the world until we reach England three or
four years ago, and living showing tongue off a players.
As a cannibal, he used to.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Eat warm meat and to a war dance. I was
sunch and true was little tongue. They're saying nothing about
him left the shoulder. It wasn't long before I found
where he lived. I was too late the runaway's place.
Looked through the window of his ring. He was lying
in bed with his sons had either side of him.
He even as we watched him, he died well. I
(21:15):
got him the ring that night. I searched these papers
but there wasn't a line about where.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
The treasure might be.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Before I left, I thought of my poor Indian friends
still out bearing the animals.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I wanted to leave on mark behind.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
So I scrolled down the side of the four of
us on a piece.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Of paper and I piled it on him. Oh that
was his death that killed. Yeah, they continue smoke well.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
After a while I heard that the treasure had been
found at itself with ponded chilly lodge. Well, I couldn't
have to get up there and over this leg, so
I got Hunger with me with a long rope round
there on his waist.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
He could try him like a cat, but I all
luck would have it. Bat On a new shoulder was
still in the room when Tom got in. Little Double
killed him with his blowpipe. But he done something light
clamor until I gave it to him with the rope's end.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Anyway, there was nothing else good but lower the jewels.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Then leaves a sign of the floor on the table,
and get well as quick as we could. And they
are gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I told him all and.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Everywhere the truth, I swear. The fitting wind ups an
extremely interesting case. There's nothing at all new to me
in the latter part, except that you brought your own work.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That I didn't say by the way I had her
the tongue lost told his dark did he managed to
shoot on arcust in the boat.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I said it here and you see you find their
moons sh exactly why health can you have a moment?
And then he took particularly down to the turns here
well he did lose them all except the one he
had in the blown pipe ready disease. Ah, of course

But duty is duty if you know indecently have our

I think it will be a pleasure to my friend.
He has to take the box round to the young ladies,
to whom half of it rightfully belongs. Let her be
the first to open it, he Watson, it would be
a great pleasure to me. Homes rather any great you

(06:04):
we get it exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
The coas you must be handed over to the authorities
afterwards until after the official investigation.
Speaker 3 (06:10):

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Side and take it off all right? You can tell
them to cast off now right cost.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
A where go for the power? Tell them the top
up was at Jacobson's yard, Oh said Jacobson's yard, sploded craft.
We ought to be able to catch anything. If the
(07:17):
brothers seem a world hid.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
There are many lauders to be this, I.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Can tell you. So she'll need to be smart to
catch the aurora. She has a name for being a pepper.
Now I'll tell you how the land lies. Yes, how
would small conceal my launch? And seeing you how the
police enquires were shaping?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
If I were in his shoes, I might hand her
over to some boat preparer with directions to make a
trifling change in that she would then be removed to
his shed or yard, and so be effectually concealed, while
at the same time she'd be available again.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
At a few hours notice. As you lodged alow.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Had Jacobson's yard, I learned that the aurora had been
handed over to them by a wooden leg.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Then with some.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Crisical directions as to our brother at that moment, who
should come down but Mordecai Smith, the missing owner.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
But how did you recognize you? He bellow as his
name and the name of his launch.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I wanted a knight, said he at eight o'clock sharp.
But I have two gentlemen who won't be kept waiting
for and I was lucky enough to pick up one
of my boys on the way, so I stationed a
business simply over the launch.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
He's the tell of the water's edge and may be
stsitive to us when they start.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Guys, you had a body of police in jacobson yard
and arrest them when they came down, which.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Would have been never.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
If this man's small as the British shrewd fellow, if
anything made him suspicious, he'd lie stand for another week.
If you might have started morning guy Smith's hosy, he
led you to their hiding place.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I think it's one hundred of one against Smith's knowing
where they live. Why should he ask questions?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, there's Jacobson's yard anyway, where those marsters standing up?
I see ah, yes, yes, I can see my sentry
through his night glasses.
Speaker 4 (08:45):

coolis rooms? Are you being very false spoken to me?
If you want to in my story, I'd know this
loaded back, it's copy a bit short. I actually wanted
it pulling me get into stations. Play well, well it
begins when I was eighty I'm so dream in India
(17:21):
with a third.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Back a crododile in a gang sniffed out in my
right leg, this case a timber strap in the stump.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was usual for anything active.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Im Lucky for me.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I got a good dramas oversea an indigo.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Plantation, and that was all right, so mute me.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I got an agad just before the seats closed.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
It off.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, kind of long storry sor that's right, get on.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I joined number three Indians and joy Abdullahan, Mohammed Singh
and dost that pass in a bit of a plot
to get some trailer off a regugee merchant that wasn't.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
One of my idea.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Well, of course he couldn't work.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It without me, and they put it to me at
the point of my life, join them, But I get
down in wow. I killed the merchant. I never touched
in mind. I hid the body in the fort while
I was no use to hiding the treasure while we
were on the steed. So he had that too.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I had grown four plans of work, was and we
put the sign of the four of us at the
bottom and swore that we should each always.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Act for all, leave out the time sinking us well.
And he was broken, and we thought we were safe,
but the merchants got in his fame, and from there
we were suspected.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Figure about the trial, we all got painless servitude kind
of life, wasn't the treasure found them?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Not a word if it came out of the trial.
But there they were shipped after the animals to survey
our time and worked out. Fortunately couldn't touch go.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
After a few years, I just put the dispensing with
the surgeon added in my little hut next to his quarters,
and some of the.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Officers used to come and play tads with him. The eatings.
There was Major Sholto and Captain Morrison and some others.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well, I used draw to him talking, and I pretty
soon struck me that Major Shulter was falling in for
some pretty big losses. Not please the money thing, I
heard him say, that's all at Morriston, I'm a ruling man.
So when the Captain had walked out of these quarters,
I look out and ask them Major if I could
have his advice?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
What about says he?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well, sir right said, I happen to nowhere halfm and
in hidden treasure lines. And I thought if I told
the proper atargeist, it might get my sentence shortened for
me get handle it. I could see him think it over,
like well the apshot of it is. But he comes
back the next day with Captain Morriston and a.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Little what you might put an official proposition to do
mean just saying mine, I didn't betray the friends. We
had a little meeting the three Indians and or two
opices in me, and I was decided Major Solo will
go to Aground with Palada Cator.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Then he's in a small yacht. Proditionis for a voyage
the Indians and I would get away in it.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Claptain Mowson would apply to need to go to Waglass.
I would all meet there for a time and share
out of the taser. Say this way, you're small if
this is.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
A year on your spinning. I never heard a legement before.
What do you say those? I hinton your the truth
and you didn't get run next that very shot? Oh
after I heard that he never came back.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
No, yeah, that's just nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
What else did you eat it? On? Officers words? Four
convicts to keep faith with deach other And then you
might have thought that there, let's hear the rest of it.
Oh can that day. I lived only to escape and
track down show though die. But it was weird years
before the time came. Wodn't there? I've never known him?
That was picked up in the woods, sitting.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Nearly to death with Peter.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
He was venerous as a young snake, but as a
nast him around he took quite a fancy to me.
Was this tongue? That's right, Joe.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
He was a plain boatman and he owned a big
roomy canoe. He didn't leave much talking into getting me
away from that place.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Now we've got to sing the poor from there. We
wandered about the world until we reach England three or
four years ago, and living showing tongue off a players.
As a cannibal, he used to.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Eat warm meat and to a war dance. I was
sunch and true was little tongue. They're saying nothing about
him left the shoulder. It wasn't long before I found
where he lived. I was too late the runaway's place.
Looked through the window of his ring. He was lying
in bed with his sons had either side of him.
He even as we watched him, he died well. I
(21:15):
got him the ring that night. I searched these papers
but there wasn't a line about where.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
The treasure might be.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Before I left, I thought of my poor Indian friends
still out bearing the animals.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I wanted to leave on mark behind.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
So I scrolled down the side of the four of
us on a piece.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Of paper and I piled it on him. Oh that
was his death that killed. Yeah, they continue smoke well.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
After a while I heard that the treasure had been
found at itself with ponded chilly lodge. Well, I couldn't
have to get up there and over this leg, so
I got Hunger with me with a long rope round
there on his waist.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
He could try him like a cat, but I all
luck would have it. Bat On a new shoulder was
still in the room when Tom got in. Little Double
killed him with his blowpipe. But he done something light
clamor until I gave it to him with the rope's end.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Anyway, there was nothing else good but lower the jewels.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Then leaves a sign of the floor on the table,
and get well as quick as we could. And they
are gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
