five of the daughter. The big mainliner slowly circled down
out of the clear starlet sky. Unless you've seen the
millions of stars that twinkle brightly through the clean, dry
air over the Mohave Desert, you really missed something. And
as we glided down toward the landing strip on the
south edge of Las Vegas, the multicolored lights of the
fabulous resort town made it sparkle like a vast field
(04:59):
of jewel. Beautiful, yeah and expensive, that is, if you
insist on trying your hand at the gaming tables and
the casinos that line the main drag. Believe me, brother,
I know, but that's not a hint of there. As
I grab my luggage and started with the car rental office.
A tall angular man, well tanned and dressed in blue jeans,
high heeled boots and ten gallon hats sounded over to me.

one of the boats and went out by himself. Apparently
he went up to a place called the Big Basin
and ought, well, the lake three or four miles right
up there.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now, all lot afternoon a big wind came up, regulars screamer.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
All the other boats came back to the landing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
All but mister Hawks.

his body walked upon the shore on the Nevada side.

No investigation of any kind of course, there was Johnny
the kingman pleased, the Sheriff's office and the county corner.
Accidental death dude the drown So that's it. And now
you just make your reservation back to heart Curt that
(06:58):
window ride over there, and you pay him a break.
Oh not so fast, Jake. I'm sticking around, are you?
You can see for yourself there's no reason for you
to be here.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Much left it company extent.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, after all, now that I am here, it'll be
kind of silly not to run down to the lake.
Cal You mean just to do some fishing on your
own talent? You want to drive me down here, Johnny. Yeah, Johnny,
do you know something about the hubcase that I don't
and the police and the sheriff, Jake, I don't know

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Act two of yours? Truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star
there's stands yet enough flag representing one of the fifty states.
Vermont's state flag, in its early form, immitted our national
flag uniquely bearing seventeen stripes and seventeen stars, with only
the inscribed word want to distinguish it. The good people
(08:16):
of Vermont assumed, as did our national government, that stripes
as well as stars would be added as each new
state entered the Union. Vermont entered the Union after Tennessee
and Ohio, and with Kentucky to joined shortly, the Vermonters
naturally put seventeen.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Stripes on their flag.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
In eighteen hundred and eighteen, the United States Congress put
a stop to this, and since then the stripes have
always been at thirteen, and only stars are added.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
For each new state.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Vermont's present flag capture the famous beauty of the Green
Mountain State in its coat of arms and inscribed is
the phrase Vermont Freedom and Unity. Vermont State Flag, the
flag of the fourteenth state to enter the Union, was
adopted on April twenty sixth, nineteen twenty three, and.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Now act too of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the
Mojavee Red matter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Elmer P. Hobbes of Los Angeles had died of frowning
when a small boat capsized in a high wind on
Lake Mohave. At least that's what Jake Kessler's insurance agent
told me. Accident appearance simply said, and I could hire
myself back to Hartford and forget about it. But I didn't,
simply because of the phone call I'd received from old
Red Barrett, fishing guide at Lake Mohave Resort. I was
(09:38):
waited Jake to drive me over there on the excuse
that as long as I was nearby, I might as
well do some fishing. So he dropped me off, and
since it was after midnight, went on back to Kingdom.
I wandered on down to the dock and boat house.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Hello, who's that ham, eh, Johnny Johnny dollars?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, what are you doing? Here I have you know
darn well what he's doing here, Ham fishing has never
been better. Only how'd you get the word?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
John?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Just great, Busting?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Did you stop by the office let Maryland picture.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Up with the room? No? No, because I recall all
Red usually sleeps here on the dock. Oh Red, Why
do you say that way? Buster?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Because Ham and I waste some good sleeping time down
here wondering why he hasn't come in yet.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You mean he's still out on the lake. Yes, like
as the Ace of Spades out there and no moon
to night.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Buster and I were about to take off about to
look for it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
He pulled his very same stunt night before last. We
finally found him drifting around about nine miles up here.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He said he'd run out of gas. Shoulders enter tank,
prove it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, but we knew better.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
What do you mean, busting?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I mean when he saw us coming after him, he
dumped out what gas he had, oil slick all over
the lake if somebody had struck a match wire.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You know, Reds are a lot of crazy things. This
past week or so ever, since his old friend mister
Hobbs died, they.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Were pretty close and that is why he followed Red Boone. Yeah,
early this morning, And if you ask me, it's because
he doesn't believe mister Hobbs' death was accidental.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Johnny, you know something. I didn't quite believe it myself.
We're sure we have some pretty big wins on the
lake now and then, and it was a big one
that day. And then when the corner and the other
thought is, well, well, who's to argue with them?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Do you know if Red has found out anything, anything
at all?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
All we know is he's given up taking our fishing
parties and spends all this time prowling around the lake
every day and night.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Says, if you can find the boat which your Hobbs,
you kind.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Of a boat, wasn't one of our regular rentals room
in the Arkansas Traveler?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, with a ten horse Johnson on it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, listen, those boats have lotation tanks. So even if
it did capsize, it what sink you?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Right, John?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And there's been no sign of it, not at all.
Then let's go up to the lake and find Red.
Except for the scars far over ahead the night was
black ash and the fifty horse out forwards skims along.
It's better than thirty miles an hour. Believe he was
a strange feeling, almost like flying through space. Al Buster
(12:22):
found his way around the islands, Rocky points and reefs.
I'll ever know what he did.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Throw your last night over to the left hand.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
You ought to be bound even.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
With Sculptor rock here heard it, And we're coming into
the big bad.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Look you please tell me how you ever expect to
find Red and all this darkness.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Oh, don't worry about him. He here's this comedy of
signal by s back in the.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Match, or so jud Johnny.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
No matter how crazy you are, you never let somebody
wander around.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
In the dark looking play out here. Red knows that
because he's had to come out too many people at
night atself.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Look, yeah, on the east shore, I'm swinging over.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're right, there's a fire of a peat.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, it must be read. She's going out here.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
We'll soon find out.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Hang on.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Well, all I have to say is it took long
enough to bring Johnny up here.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Read you will reprobate one under the sun of you
up to this time.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I just told you I've been waiting for you to
bring Johnny. And I can leave this and going back
to the dock, and I thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Read We're not leaving until we find out what this
is all about.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And if I tell you, would you promised to leave
us alone?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Sure? Sure, We'll promise anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You see.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
I need Johnny's help because with him to follow up
what I found today. Well, Johnny, you and I are
going to prove that my old friend mister Hobbs has.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Act three. If you're truly Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
In a moment, every American fighting man has heard the
expression above and beyond the call of duty. How many
of us have sat down and considered just what that
word duty means. According to one Dictionary definition, duty is
man's conduct as required by his station or occupation, and
that to which he is bound by moral obligation to
(14:29):
do or not to do. When a man does more
than his duty requires, he becomes more of a man
in the eyes of his fellowmen. One such was Captain
John Phillip Cromwell, commander of the submarine U. S. S.
Sculpon flagship of a submarine Coordinated Attack Group of the
United States Navy, possessing secret intelligence information of our fleet movements, strategy, tactics,
(14:53):
and attack plans. Captain Cromwell led his attack group and
patrol of enemy waters around Truck Island in November nineteen
forty three, just prior to the launching of our first
large scale offensive in the Pacific. Despite savage enemy opposition,
he established a line of submarines around the enemy held
stronghold of Truck until his ship, the Scalpon, became so
(15:16):
rocked and battered by depth bombs that he ordered it
to the surface. He engaged the enemy with deck guns,
giving his crew an opportunity to abandon the mortally stricken ship.
Determined to sacrifice himself rather than risk capture and the
subsequent danger of revealing the secret plans to the enemy,
Captain Cromwell remained aboard the Sculpon as she plunged to
(15:38):
her death. He thereby preserved the security of the mission
at the cost of his own life. Captain Cromwell earned
the Medal of Honor for deep integrity and uncompromising devotion
to the call of duty in the service of his country.
What he did define the word duty better than any dictionary.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
And now act free of the Johnny Dollar and the
mohovey red mutter.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh, I'll tell you this, Johnny Red, here's one of
the wildest, most irresponsible old characters I know when he
wants to be. But he's okay, none the list he
thinks you and he find improved of Mister Hobbs was murdered, Well,
(16:24):
must have a good reason for it.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
Well right, Oh, nah, Ham, do you think a man
like eilm or Hobbes knowing the lake the way he did?
But ever let the big wind catch him off guard
up here in the basin?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Oh don't Red. I know that's the way Buster felt
about it too.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I said that to you myself, Red.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But now what's this proof you have of murder?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Ham, Buster, aren't.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You going on back?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Now that I told you why I wanted you to
bring Johnny here?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Was there any a harm? And I'm knowing what you
found Red? After all, we might be able to help
you in Johnny.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Yeah, I thought about that. But you see, I might
just possibly be wrong about well, I might just be wrong,
and I wouldn't want to be ashamed in front of.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
A lot of people.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
By a lot you're being free?
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Well, well that's three times as many.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It's just funny here.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, now, Johnny he means it's so Ham and I'm
going back to.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
The dock, but I still don't see what difference.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Is, Johnny. When you get to know Red as well
as we do, you'll stop trying to figure out the
whys and wherefores and some of the things he does
and what makes a tick. But you'll also learn that,
in the long run, no matter how unorthodox, come of
those things are. Well. Oh, come on, Buster, all right,
see you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
When you get back to doc Johnny.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Oh, you got some food, Red, Now you know I
always keep something in my boat, Buster.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, well, far be it from me, Red. But all
I have to say is that whatever you think you've
found proof of it, it's sure gotta be something the
way it is, Johnny, at least I think he did.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I scrunt yourself for places to.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Sleep in the sand.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's pretty late.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Well, it took you so long to get here, and
we can't see anything in the dark anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh no, look Red, for heavens, said Johnny. Sleep well,
And that was the end of our conversation. And I
began to wonder if Jake Kessler hadn't been right in
the first place, if I hadn't come out here on
a wild goose Chase after all. But the more I
wondered and thought about it was nothing but the warm
desert night about us, twinkling stars, the magic sound of
(18:32):
fish jumping in the lake. The sleepier I got so
I slept. The fellow bacon frying over the campfire awaken me,
although the sun still hadn't shone to the mountains on
bordered the eastern side of the lake.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Dash your face in the lake, Johnny, Then grabbed yourself
some of this bacon.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
In the I did as I was told, and, squatting
in the sand in front of the fire, stuffed away
a hoty breakfast of facon, eggs and pancakes made from
sour dough. You know there's something about a meal cooked
over a camp by that. Well, we had other things
to do, so we climbed into reds Old a little
bit of boat, and slowly drove up the lakes, thing
close to shore. Finally we reached a small rocky colt.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right here is this spot, Johnny, this little.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Coal a spot for what rather? You know? You still
haven't toll you see there?
Speaker 8 (19:20):
You see where somebody has climbed up the rocks.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh well, I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Well, he couldn't have climbed up off of the water,
so he must have climbed out of a boat. So,
and there's foot prints leading away across the desert. And Johnny,
they aren't Elmer hobbs foot prints, you know her.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So somebody climbed out of a boat here for one
reason or another and took a walk into the desert,
a man who killed Elmer hobb What makes you think?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
So look down over the side in the water.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
The boats. Someone at the boat that Elmer had.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Can you see it clear?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you can see it with some damage enough to
sink it. Not that bolt, you're right ready, particularly since
it has flotation tanks. But it's down there, it sounds well, you.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Better slip to your shorts, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I'll go down and take a look.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Me I already have, but I want you to look, Johnny,
And remember I knew everything that Elmer had in his
boat when he left the dock.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Remember that, okay? And you're sure the footprints leading into
the desert couldn't possibly have been made by mister.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Hawks that I'll swear to Johnny by all that's good.
And hold now, I'm not slip in easy so you
won't disturb your water too much.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I took a deep breath surface dive and swam down
to the sucker boat and the water was clear and
I could see plainly, and I saw that Red was right.
I bobbed back to the surface. Did you see him
the cut? Yeah? Right. Those flotation tanks were slashed open
with their necks or a sharp, heavy tool of some kind.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
But Elmer had no acts on that booth. So it
was somebody else, Johnny, somebody who murdered him. Yeah, and
then sank the booth bred.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm afraid you're right. Elma Hobbs was murdered, so they
aked for Jake. And if I were you, I'd call
off payment on that claim immediately. Granted the case is
no yet, I still have the job of finding out
who killed Elma Hobbs. You know something, You're gonna have
(21:33):
to wait for my next report. Meantime, spencer count total
for the moment one, including the cost of shooting and
retrieving one pro Jake, how would you like it cooked?
Until the next report, then yours truly, Johnny Doller.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Our star will return in just a moment. Our flag
now numbers fifty stars and behind each star, there stands
yet another flag, representing one of the fifty states. Oklahoma's
state flag depicts an osage warrior's circular buckskin shield from
which hang seven eagle feathers. Across the shield is the
(22:26):
Indian's calumet or pipe of peace, crossed with a white
man's peace symbol. The olive branch on shield are small
crosses the Indian's graphics sign for stars, indicating lofty ideals
or a purpose for high endeavor. The background of the
flag is a field of blue, the blue of the
(22:47):
Oklahoma sky, signifying loyalty and devotion. The important symbols, however,
are the calumet and the olive branch. These override the
shield the symbol of war, and bespeak a predominant love
of peace by a united people. Oklahoma state flag, the
flag of the forty sixth state to enter the Union,
(23:09):
was adopted on April second, nineteen twenty five.

New York to Las Vegas, Nevada. It was nine forty
(04:38):
five of the daughter. The big mainliner slowly circled down
out of the clear starlet sky. Unless you've seen the
millions of stars that twinkle brightly through the clean, dry
air over the Mohave Desert, you really missed something. And
as we glided down toward the landing strip on the
south edge of Las Vegas, the multicolored lights of the
fabulous resort town made it sparkle like a vast field
(04:59):
of jewel. Beautiful, yeah and expensive, that is, if you
insist on trying your hand at the gaming tables and
the casinos that line the main drag. Believe me, brother,
I know, but that's not a hint of there. As
I grab my luggage and started with the car rental office.
A tall angular man, well tanned and dressed in blue jeans,
high heeled boots and ten gallon hats sounded over to me.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Who you wouldn't take my word for it?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh, Jim, that's right, Jake Kessler in person.

They're just Hobbs.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Huh wow, Oh I know that much. I suppose you
tell me who Hobbs is or what.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I'll tell you all about it when I have you
pop on another plane and go right on back to Hartford,
and all at.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Your own expense.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I still don't see whatever made you come out here, Johnny.
Apparently the Hobs matter, so start telling me. Well, come on, Jake,
come on.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
All right, Donnie, all right elm P.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Hobbs real Estate in Los Angeles. Came over to the
Lake Mohave.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Resort about two weeks ago a few days fishing with
his old path guide.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
They have their I mean red red berry. Yeah, well, okay,
go on. And then Tuesday, a week ago, he rented
one of the boats and went out by himself. Apparently
he went up to a place called the Big Basin
and ought, well, the lake three or four miles right
up there.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now, all lot afternoon a big wind came up, regulars screamer.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
All the other boats came back to the landing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
All but mister Hawks.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh. Next morning, when the wind died down, they found
his body walked upon the shore on the Nevada side.
That's all, That's all, you say.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
A claim has been five right by one of his two.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Beneficiaries, oh, his business partner back in La mister Stuart Manley.
I've passed the claim and the company will pay it.
No investigation of any kind of course, there was Johnny
the kingman pleased, the Sheriff's office and the county corner.
Accidental death dude the drown So that's it. And now
you just make your reservation back to heart Curt that
(06:58):
window ride over there, and you pay him a break.
Oh not so fast, Jake. I'm sticking around, are you?
You can see for yourself there's no reason for you
to be here.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Much left it company extent.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, after all, now that I am here, it'll be
kind of silly not to run down to the lake.
Cal You mean just to do some fishing on your
own talent? You want to drive me down here, Johnny. Yeah, Johnny,
do you know something about the hubcase that I don't
and the police and the sheriff, Jake, I don't know
a thing about it. Okay, Johnny, how do you want
(07:31):
me to fix that crow? You're gonna eat.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Act two of yours? Truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star
there's stands yet enough flag representing one of the fifty states.
Vermont's state flag, in its early form, immitted our national
flag uniquely bearing seventeen stripes and seventeen stars, with only
the inscribed word want to distinguish it. The good people
(08:16):
of Vermont assumed, as did our national government, that stripes
as well as stars would be added as each new
state entered the Union. Vermont entered the Union after Tennessee
and Ohio, and with Kentucky to joined shortly, the Vermonters
naturally put seventeen.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Stripes on their flag.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
In eighteen hundred and eighteen, the United States Congress put
a stop to this, and since then the stripes have
always been at thirteen, and only stars are added.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
For each new state.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Vermont's present flag capture the famous beauty of the Green
Mountain State in its coat of arms and inscribed is
the phrase Vermont Freedom and Unity. Vermont State Flag, the
flag of the fourteenth state to enter the Union, was
adopted on April twenty sixth, nineteen twenty three, and.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Now act too of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the
Mojavee Red matter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Elmer P. Hobbes of Los Angeles had died of frowning
when a small boat capsized in a high wind on
Lake Mohave. At least that's what Jake Kessler's insurance agent
told me. Accident appearance simply said, and I could hire
myself back to Hartford and forget about it. But I didn't,
simply because of the phone call I'd received from old
Red Barrett, fishing guide at Lake Mohave Resort. I was
(09:38):
waited Jake to drive me over there on the excuse
that as long as I was nearby, I might as
well do some fishing. So he dropped me off, and
since it was after midnight, went on back to Kingdom.
I wandered on down to the dock and boat house.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Hello, who's that ham, eh, Johnny Johnny dollars?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, what are you doing? Here I have you know
darn well what he's doing here, Ham fishing has never
been better. Only how'd you get the word?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
John?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Just great, Busting?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Did you stop by the office let Maryland picture.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Up with the room? No? No, because I recall all
Red usually sleeps here on the dock. Oh Red, Why
do you say that way? Buster?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Because Ham and I waste some good sleeping time down
here wondering why he hasn't come in yet.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You mean he's still out on the lake. Yes, like
as the Ace of Spades out there and no moon
to night.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Buster and I were about to take off about to
look for it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
He pulled his very same stunt night before last. We
finally found him drifting around about nine miles up here.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He said he'd run out of gas. Shoulders enter tank,
prove it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, but we knew better.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
What do you mean, busting?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I mean when he saw us coming after him, he
dumped out what gas he had, oil slick all over
the lake if somebody had struck a match wire.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You know, Reds are a lot of crazy things. This
past week or so ever, since his old friend mister
Hobbs died, they.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Were pretty close and that is why he followed Red Boone. Yeah,
early this morning, And if you ask me, it's because
he doesn't believe mister Hobbs' death was accidental.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Johnny, you know something. I didn't quite believe it myself.
We're sure we have some pretty big wins on the
lake now and then, and it was a big one
that day. And then when the corner and the other
thought is, well, well, who's to argue with them?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Do you know if Red has found out anything, anything
at all?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
All we know is he's given up taking our fishing
parties and spends all this time prowling around the lake
every day and night.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Says, if you can find the boat which your Hobbs,
you kind.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Of a boat, wasn't one of our regular rentals room
in the Arkansas Traveler?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, with a ten horse Johnson on it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, listen, those boats have lotation tanks. So even if
it did capsize, it what sink you?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Right, John?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And there's been no sign of it, not at all.
Then let's go up to the lake and find Red.
Except for the scars far over ahead the night was
black ash and the fifty horse out forwards skims along.
It's better than thirty miles an hour. Believe he was
a strange feeling, almost like flying through space. Al Buster
(12:22):
found his way around the islands, Rocky points and reefs.
I'll ever know what he did.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Throw your last night over to the left hand.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
You ought to be bound even.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
With Sculptor rock here heard it, And we're coming into
the big bad.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Look you please tell me how you ever expect to
find Red and all this darkness.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Oh, don't worry about him. He here's this comedy of
signal by s back in the.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Match, or so jud Johnny.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
No matter how crazy you are, you never let somebody
wander around.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
In the dark looking play out here. Red knows that
because he's had to come out too many people at
night atself.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Look, yeah, on the east shore, I'm swinging over.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're right, there's a fire of a peat.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, it must be read. She's going out here.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
We'll soon find out.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Hang on.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Well, all I have to say is it took long
enough to bring Johnny up here.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Read you will reprobate one under the sun of you
up to this time.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I just told you I've been waiting for you to
bring Johnny. And I can leave this and going back
to the dock, and I thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Read We're not leaving until we find out what this
is all about.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And if I tell you, would you promised to leave
us alone?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Sure? Sure, We'll promise anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You see.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
I need Johnny's help because with him to follow up
what I found today. Well, Johnny, you and I are
going to prove that my old friend mister Hobbs has.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Act three. If you're truly Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
In a moment, every American fighting man has heard the
expression above and beyond the call of duty. How many
of us have sat down and considered just what that
word duty means. According to one Dictionary definition, duty is
man's conduct as required by his station or occupation, and
that to which he is bound by moral obligation to
(14:29):
do or not to do. When a man does more
than his duty requires, he becomes more of a man
in the eyes of his fellowmen. One such was Captain
John Phillip Cromwell, commander of the submarine U. S. S.
Sculpon flagship of a submarine Coordinated Attack Group of the
United States Navy, possessing secret intelligence information of our fleet movements, strategy, tactics,
(14:53):
and attack plans. Captain Cromwell led his attack group and
patrol of enemy waters around Truck Island in November nineteen
forty three, just prior to the launching of our first
large scale offensive in the Pacific. Despite savage enemy opposition,
he established a line of submarines around the enemy held
stronghold of Truck until his ship, the Scalpon, became so
(15:16):
rocked and battered by depth bombs that he ordered it
to the surface. He engaged the enemy with deck guns,
giving his crew an opportunity to abandon the mortally stricken ship.
Determined to sacrifice himself rather than risk capture and the
subsequent danger of revealing the secret plans to the enemy,
Captain Cromwell remained aboard the Sculpon as she plunged to
(15:38):
her death. He thereby preserved the security of the mission
at the cost of his own life. Captain Cromwell earned
the Medal of Honor for deep integrity and uncompromising devotion
to the call of duty in the service of his country.
What he did define the word duty better than any dictionary.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
And now act free of the Johnny Dollar and the
mohovey red mutter.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh, I'll tell you this, Johnny Red, here's one of
the wildest, most irresponsible old characters I know when he
wants to be. But he's okay, none the list he
thinks you and he find improved of Mister Hobbs was murdered, Well,
(16:24):
must have a good reason for it.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
Well right, Oh, nah, Ham, do you think a man
like eilm or Hobbes knowing the lake the way he did?
But ever let the big wind catch him off guard
up here in the basin?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Oh don't Red. I know that's the way Buster felt
about it too.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I said that to you myself, Red.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But now what's this proof you have of murder?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Ham, Buster, aren't.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You going on back?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Now that I told you why I wanted you to
bring Johnny here?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Was there any a harm? And I'm knowing what you
found Red? After all, we might be able to help
you in Johnny.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Yeah, I thought about that. But you see, I might
just possibly be wrong about well, I might just be wrong,
and I wouldn't want to be ashamed in front of.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
A lot of people.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
By a lot you're being free?
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Well, well that's three times as many.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It's just funny here.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, now, Johnny he means it's so Ham and I'm
going back to.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
The dock, but I still don't see what difference.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Is, Johnny. When you get to know Red as well
as we do, you'll stop trying to figure out the
whys and wherefores and some of the things he does
and what makes a tick. But you'll also learn that,
in the long run, no matter how unorthodox, come of
those things are. Well. Oh, come on, Buster, all right,
see you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
When you get back to doc Johnny.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Oh, you got some food, Red, Now you know I
always keep something in my boat, Buster.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, well, far be it from me, Red. But all
I have to say is that whatever you think you've
found proof of it, it's sure gotta be something the
way it is, Johnny, at least I think he did.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I scrunt yourself for places to.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Sleep in the sand.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's pretty late.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Well, it took you so long to get here, and
we can't see anything in the dark anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh no, look Red, for heavens, said Johnny. Sleep well,
And that was the end of our conversation. And I
began to wonder if Jake Kessler hadn't been right in
the first place, if I hadn't come out here on
a wild goose Chase after all. But the more I
wondered and thought about it was nothing but the warm
desert night about us, twinkling stars, the magic sound of
(18:32):
fish jumping in the lake. The sleepier I got so
I slept. The fellow bacon frying over the campfire awaken me,
although the sun still hadn't shone to the mountains on
bordered the eastern side of the lake.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Dash your face in the lake, Johnny, Then grabbed yourself
some of this bacon.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
In the I did as I was told, and, squatting
in the sand in front of the fire, stuffed away
a hoty breakfast of facon, eggs and pancakes made from
sour dough. You know there's something about a meal cooked
over a camp by that. Well, we had other things
to do, so we climbed into reds Old a little
bit of boat, and slowly drove up the lakes, thing
close to shore. Finally we reached a small rocky colt.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right here is this spot, Johnny, this little.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Coal a spot for what rather? You know? You still
haven't toll you see there?
Speaker 8 (19:20):
You see where somebody has climbed up the rocks.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh well, I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Well, he couldn't have climbed up off of the water,
so he must have climbed out of a boat. So,
and there's foot prints leading away across the desert. And Johnny,
they aren't Elmer hobbs foot prints, you know her.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So somebody climbed out of a boat here for one
reason or another and took a walk into the desert,
a man who killed Elmer hobb What makes you think?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
So look down over the side in the water.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
The boats. Someone at the boat that Elmer had.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Can you see it clear?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you can see it with some damage enough to
sink it. Not that bolt, you're right ready, particularly since
it has flotation tanks. But it's down there, it sounds well, you.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Better slip to your shorts, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I'll go down and take a look.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Me I already have, but I want you to look, Johnny,
And remember I knew everything that Elmer had in his
boat when he left the dock.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Remember that, okay? And you're sure the footprints leading into
the desert couldn't possibly have been made by mister.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Hawks that I'll swear to Johnny by all that's good.
And hold now, I'm not slip in easy so you
won't disturb your water too much.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I took a deep breath surface dive and swam down
to the sucker boat and the water was clear and
I could see plainly, and I saw that Red was right.
I bobbed back to the surface. Did you see him
the cut? Yeah? Right. Those flotation tanks were slashed open
with their necks or a sharp, heavy tool of some kind.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
But Elmer had no acts on that booth. So it
was somebody else, Johnny, somebody who murdered him. Yeah, and
then sank the booth bred.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm afraid you're right. Elma Hobbs was murdered, so they
aked for Jake. And if I were you, I'd call
off payment on that claim immediately. Granted the case is
no yet, I still have the job of finding out
who killed Elma Hobbs. You know something, You're gonna have
(21:33):
to wait for my next report. Meantime, spencer count total
for the moment one, including the cost of shooting and
retrieving one pro Jake, how would you like it cooked?
Until the next report, then yours truly, Johnny Doller.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Our star will return in just a moment. Our flag
now numbers fifty stars and behind each star, there stands
yet another flag, representing one of the fifty states. Oklahoma's
state flag depicts an osage warrior's circular buckskin shield from
which hang seven eagle feathers. Across the shield is the
(22:26):
Indian's calumet or pipe of peace, crossed with a white
man's peace symbol. The olive branch on shield are small
crosses the Indian's graphics sign for stars, indicating lofty ideals
or a purpose for high endeavor. The background of the
flag is a field of blue, the blue of the
(22:47):
Oklahoma sky, signifying loyalty and devotion. The important symbols, however,
are the calumet and the olive branch. These override the
shield the symbol of war, and bespeak a predominant love
of peace by a united people. Oklahoma state flag, the
flag of the forty sixth state to enter the Union,
(23:09):
was adopted on April second, nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 5 (23:12):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
