Unknown Broadcast | The Lost Ship — Desert Treasure, Eerie Islands & Vincent Price Suspense

0:09 Well, hello, my dear, so happy you could join me. Ah, what's that? Well, it is the beginning of the festive season, after all. I figured i'd make things a little more light and cheery here as the cold winter comes about. Really, there's nothing better to raise your spirits. So it were then some lights, some good smells, something hot to drink and eat and be merry. Oh what's that? Oh no, no, no, no, no, that's simply not a concern at all. But I do have quite a bit to share with you, because it is the season of giving, and about the only thing you can't receive is that which has been lost, in this case the lost Ship.

1:06 And now a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense in a moment, Act one of the Lost Ship, written especially for suspence by Irwin Lewis. Just shot ahead, Harry, be careful, don't. Worry, I said, how's your close. Winner, Harry? Do you hear something sounds like a siren?

1:46 Harry, it does sound like a siren, doesn't. He shut up this? I think you're right? Maybe could I be? We lost a mark? I non, nobody's getting out of any chance. We gotta get out, splain road fast. Yeah, that looks like a cut off across the desert. It isn't much of a road. Time to be choosy, hang on, I can't take much more. We can't cut back. Those police might beat the corner the highway. We'll wait until dark.

2:27 Can't you slow down? Up? I'm getting this is no. Longer, honey. I want to put it much distance between. Us to the highway as possible. What happened? I don't know. Take a look? What is it? Rocket spring? What do we do now? We can't stay here? Grab the bag and let's go. We're on a road of some sort. It's got to leave someplace. Let's try those hill What about this? Can't leave it in the car. That's a little bag. Is all the luggage we need? Good? It'll do without here where there's a road, there's found to be a house of people. What's in this bag talks any language?

3:09 So I let's go. Chance to walk anything? Shine killing me? All right? Here? Sell on my jacket, get it on dirty? So what we'll buy a thousand jackets once we hit the border. Sit on a whole. But there that sounds like a coyote. Don't worry about it. Don't go hysterical. Sure, I'm down to. My shoe been crazy. There's fifty thousand arguments in this little bag of pool.

3:52 We're not craz've been the rest of our lives running. Once we get to mexicoll stop running. We were leaving out hall, my friend, every thing and everybody we know. Is it worth it? What are we giving on a sinking two room flat with peeling peyton crawling roaches this big? You won't miss that for a minute. You think I enjoyed standing on that teller's cage handing out money all day long, the little people who had no more right to it than I didn't. Don't go moral on me. Listen, I'm past forty. A man gets to that age. He gets tired wanting things and not being able to afford him. Hey, you got to smoke. Okay, over to the right between those two hills, Sure it is, that's chimney smoke. I'll bet there's a house up there. Come on, viola, whoa vote?

4:50 Kind off the tourists trailing't you we we were wondering, no sense wandering outside. Come in, Come in, make yourself uncomfortable. Yay, car broke down? Euh, why do you say that, Well, nobody'd walk here if they could ride. And take a look at your shoes, lady, I'll bet your peter full of brush. You're so right, Well, take off your shoes and set down with the fire. I'll poke it up. Starting to get nippy now the sun's going down. I was fixing myself some supper forking beans. You might be proud if you'll join me a psyche, mister Toley Pete Tony.

5:35 I'm Harry Turner. This is missus Tyron, please to meet you. I'll open another can of beans. Eight much, But it's stilling. You live here all alone, mister Townley Pete Man, no sense being formal? Yep, yep, I live here all by my lonesome, going on twenty years a record. Hi, you ever have visitors once in a while? Spec the neighbor of mine. Let's see now day after tomorrow. Yeah, Sam Higgins lives about forty miles from here. It drops in regular twice a year. What do you do about supplies, food and things? I had got a jeep in the back. I used it to go to town once a month for supplies cheap. Yeah, I guess you didn't see it coming up here. I'll drive into town first thing in the morning, get Bill Jenkins from the garage.

6:30 To come out and fix up your car. Can't you go right now? By the time I get back, it'd be pitch dark. No, no, better, wait till tomorrow. Well, let's see if the beans is Oh see, they sure are. Yeah, I hope you don't mind ten plates. Yeah, well let's dig in. Hey, you know I think those beans. Are pretty good. Hey, you folks care for anymore? No, thank you. I'll give you a hand of the dishes.

7:11 Oh, don't bother, ma'am. Won't take more. In a minute. I'd like to get that cheap and take off right now. I couldn't do that. It's a nice old man. I spend it all might. Yeah, let me know when you folks is ready to hit the hay. I bumped down the shedding back. Oh no, we wouldn't think of putting into such trouble. Don't worry about it, ma'am. I can sleep anywhere anytime. Besides, that bed ain't much softer than the floor deep. And don't you have to get lonely living here by yourself? No? No, I like it like this, Just me in the hills I spent here in thirty years prospecting for gold.

7:56 Didn't find much, but you know those I can buy a little food and the few other things they need every now and then, so. While look for more. Now most folks dream about a pot of gold that's in the rainbow. Well, I got that too, waiting for me over the hills and the desert out there. I guess that's what you call. A great beyond. Oh shucks, No, I don't mean when I'm dead. I'm talking about a real pot of gold, bigger than anything you ever seen or dreamed of, probably in the desert. I don't understand what is in the desert. A ship, ma'am, a great Spanish galleon, and it rides the sand dunes of the desert like it was sailing the seas again.

8:44 A ship of the desert. That's impossible. I'll tell you how it was. Son. There's a legend that hundreds of years ago a Spanish ship from sailing up the Gulf of California. Haven't come from Mexico or Peru, or of their mothers South American places, And as it was sailing up right close to shore, a huge storm come along, followed by a tremendous tidal wave which swept it clean onto the desert. Must have been the granddaddy of all waves. I reckon well, after many years, the waters went back, leaving the ship high and dry miles from the gulf or the river that feeds into it. In a couple of hundred years, the shift and sands of berriage at the course, or sometimes when.

9:34 The wind blows up just right, it blows away a lot of the sand. And you can see the upper deck of that old ship from the top of that hill just over there. According to the legend two, the whold of that ship is just jammed full of treasure. Quite a lovely story, a pretty fairy tale for children and old mess. That's all right, ma'am. Of course he's right, But it is pretty fairy tale. Just so happens. This fairy tale is true.

10:23 What what is it? Why all? I want to show you something? What are you so excited about? I'm thinking of things in the cabin answer you left? I found these coo, yes, but what kind gold callings? And look the words on him on the Oh, that's some Spanish, doesn't it looks? How old they are? I see the day on that one fifteen, seen some light about an exhibit. There's Spanish to blows world, Peka. Don't you remember his sorry last night? But the Spanish gallion? Don't bear it? I can't.

11:03 I know it's impossible. Pete, what's that? Son? My wife found these in the cabin. Where did they come from? Oh? Them things, I reckon they come from the ship. Well, some years ago, a young fella comes staggering in. From the desert. He was pretty bad sheep and had food and water for days. Seemed like I tried to fix him up, but he was too far gone. But before he died he moaned something about finding the ship out in the desert.

11:46 I found them coined in his pocket. I don't believe what you said. You're in the crazy, the biggest liar I've ever mad. Son, if you're all fired skeptical, why why don't you climb that hill and take look for yourself. The wind see it to be coming up kind of strong. You might be lucky. In fact, I got an old pair of field glasses you can take along. But Son, if you do see the ship for your own sake, don't let it give you any fool ideas.

12:28 Carry I can't. Find it up overs of the time. Here, grab my hands, I just if you warn. The way here what I can't see a thing with the wind blowing stand in my face? I got a very you see dottery old man tells us a fairy tale. We buy it? Oh, well, gets about troubles is out lungs. Full of debert? Why did I let you talk me into timing up here? Look at my dam as well back, Wait a minute, I mean the wind's dying. Now take a look through these glasses. Yeah, I still can't see a blasted thing.

13:14 But Santas says, bruh, did you see something? Tell for sure that I got a better focus? Oora, Harry, I don't believe it, Harry. I see a poking mask and a part of a hole buried in the sand. Fyola, The old man was right. There is a ship out there in the desert. Well, I kind of buck you might see it. I haven't seen it myself, and the spell figure there was about time for it to show up again, just like you started with this. You want to tear all this time, and yet you never want to look for Oh like A told you so on what for?

13:57 Because of the gold? All right? You do what you want. I'm going there that ship. No, all that ain't sensible, son? Why not? I could see it clearly. It isn't far from here. Distances are just even in the desert. That ship's a lot further than it looks. And that's mighty rough country out there. It's easy to get lost, and if you run out of water, you're finished. And chances are by the time you got the where you think the ship is, a sandstorm will come. Up and bury it under tons of sand. Again, you better forget it. Not out of your life. You're jep is equipped with sand tire that has gas water tool. That's all I need, ma'am. I surely think it ain't smart. You ought to try to talk him out of it.

14:41 iMedia it is too dangerous. It's a danger because he can't get up enough energy. To drive a few uttle of the desert to make a fortune. Right about the other man who found the ship and. Died, I don't know anything about him, and I don't care. There's gold in that ship. I'm going to get it by we have enough. Now. You said to yourself, how. Can you compare fifty thousand what could be in that ship and the goal is probably the only part of it. Those those Spanish guyyans used to come home with their house posing with ink and mind treasures. Why God, by all, we can be rich. We can be rich. We can make a deal with a bike or turn the fifty thousand. And go scott free, and you'd be misking your life. It's worth it. I've taken the chief.

15:22 You'll see. I'll be back before night. I've seen what the desert does to people who know it. Son a tender. I was like, you ain't got a chair advice for the advice people. I'm going No, Henry, wait looking to go home your wife? Right? Son? You ain't thinking clear? At least wait until you can. Get a well organized party together. We've got time. I get out of my waife. I can't let you go home, Sonya, you will never combine. I don't know where you going. Come on now, it can't be much for. The rear wheels are stuck in the stand. Maybe I can slip something underneath.

16:07 Oh the sunny straw, and the wheel was dug itself a nice little hole well like to shovel, and the jeep jammed up against the tire. Maybe I here it is Uh, if. I just. Say, what's over that ridge? Looks like some sort of structure. Can't be a house? Who could live out here? I'm better take a look. Pete was right when he said this, this is what to see me.

16:49 The top of this ridge looked like it was within a few yards. Of the jeep, and I seemed to be walking forever. Uh the way the heat waves make the air shimmer of it, not even shore where I am. I'm getting to the top. Now, let's find out just what I saw. There comes out one again, I get the sand out of my eyes. I that's better. Now it's saw. Hall of a ship. Yes, this is what I saw from the hill. Walk on her buried in the sand with a little more than part of the top techs of them. But at the ship, all right, Look at the carvings in the arena. I wonder if it's safe to walk on. Yeah, it seems solid enough. And there's something inscribed in the railing and cord lotop sand.

17:48 To coron profound the ship. I followed it. Uh easy, Harry, keep calm. This is only half a bottle. You don't know if the holl is filled with sand or what. And let's stuff for a hatch. Find a hatch and open it and lead to the interior. Get away the sandy. I hit something. I gotta dig the sand away. You gotta find out what I hit. Come on out, boy, this is beginning of. Something's not much time left. I was right, they didn't hat.

18:30 Not getting it open? Oh, jam, I can't budget away. Cry it up with a shovel, right, I completely. Give me coming up. Get my hand on the edge. I did didn't know my other hand. No, I canna get flip it. Uh, I got it, I got it. Yeah, just prop it up with a shovel. Yeah. Oh oh, I start down there because why here's the top of life. Whatever it'll hold me.

19:21 A man, tommy where it's a long way up. I could just barely see the hatch open. He looks like I'm in some sort of passage way. I can't see why. Now assume life looks like a door open and frazier table looks like sharks on the walls. Something over in the corner. You can't make out one of these looks white seems to glisten a little.

20:03 What it is? It's a skull. Scare the life out of me. What was your name was here? Was it? Yorick? You come riding into this ship once you hit the Tessant four hundred years ago? Easy?

So on Ard, don't be sad. I'll be back.

22:08 The flanger is getting low and the lighter. Wow, I won't need it much longer. How is that. The windows is a lot where the ladder to the hatchway so dark? O? God, what if it was this the shovel. Oh, the wind blew the hatch stops. Wow, that's all right. I just climb up and force it open. Here's a ladder. There's a ladder. The hatch. Let's get it open and get back to the jeep.

Tilt your head just a trifle more, Tony, so very good, now hold still, please. You know every time you put that head mirror on to examine my eyes. No talking, my friend, you're the doctor. More h. So finished, you are saying, Tony, Oh. Nothing important. It's only that every time you examine my eyes and put that big mirror on around your head with a hole in the middle, it always makes me think of one of those science fiction movies with you know, Boris calloff. Well, what's the verdict, Berner?

30:18 Doctor, We'll prescribe a stronger prescription for. Your eyes, the prescription I'm wearing strong. Enough, not cried, Tony. At your age, we say, past thirty nine, past thirty nine. What about for a man who just passed fifty nine, Fritz. If they'll help cut down on these headaches, it'll. Certainly be worth double. The new glasses may help. May we can never be sure about these things. We must always hope you know something, Tony what sometimes I think your headaches could be. How do you say. Something not altogether physical? Oh come on, Fritz, what's that supposed to me? How old is your wife? Now? You know perfectly well how old Martha is. Thirty almost all he knows. But what's Martha's age got to do with them?

31:10 She is half your age, charming, intelligent, beautifully black hair, green eyes, the figure of a goddess, the face of an angel. Yes, one of the most gorgeous young women you've ever seen. Right exactly? Could it not be possible that there is a certain tenseness in your relationship with this beautiful young wife. It causes the headaches? Oh no, Fritz, I don't think so. I've seen you both at a dinner party. How you react whenever a younger man seems to be paying the slightest attention to her. Martha loves you, loves you deeply. You have no cause in the world to be jealous of her. I promise you, so relax, enjoy her, enjoy yourself, enjoy your life.

31:57 Fritz, what you're prescribing I have in mind. You know that Martha left a week ago. For that we've been talking about a little hidden away island in the Caribbean. Well, I am joining her. You're joining her. That's perfectly wonderful. Yes, it's going to be like a surprise. She's not expecting me for another few days. You shouldn't do that, Tony, Well, who says, so, why do you surprise her? Can't you wire her a phone? No way, there's no direct phone to the island, and by the time a wire got there the new glasses. Well, I've lived this long with the old ones. I can live a few more days with them. Here's the address of the island. It's the Hotel Pariso. Send them air express.

32:42 They should be there in two or three days. Whatever you say, Tony, I'll feed your saying Fritz and thanks for the advice, and not at all, And don't forget the glasses, of course, not so you were about ten days, Miss Elliot. Please take this letter to missus Martha. Bridges Hotel Pariso Isla de los perdidos. I'll give you the exact address. Letter, send it air mail, special delivery the market urgent. Ready, dearest Martha. When you get this letter, Tony. Will already have surprised you. I did my best to think of a way to keep him from coming without arising any suspicions.

33:27 No luck. Under the present circumstances, it would be best for you to take every possible precaution. You cannot be too careful, dear Mark. At one o'clock the following morning, I was in the lobby of a hotel Pariso on the little island of Los Perdidos, the island of the Lost. Behind the desk his feet on the desk was a bald, fat little man fast asleep. Oh excuse me, maybe this will work. Oh yeah, hell of it. Oh, please to forgive me.

34:11 It's all right. I was just taking a few wings a sleeping. It's my fault. It is a little late one in the morning. Your time, Oh the God is of no important signor Welcome to the hotel Byzukuyana your service. My wife arrived last Tuesday, and she doesn't. Of course, Senor Pablo understands your wife had I have last Tuesday, and your Pablo, is that your order? Senor, your lady, this good Senora is expecting you. You we'd find her in the. Bungalow. B she des are very best expecting. She doesn't even know.

34:52 Must not keep her waiting. I mean this is a surprise. She doesn't even know that I'm coming. Are you sure, Pablo, I I'm sure, Senor. You didn't even ask me my name. I know, Senor. Do you follow me now? The bungo to be yes, see this is our bongo be can Yes, sir, you can put my bag over there near the coffee table. Naturally is the leaving room. The bedroom is through that door. Just a moment, I want to see that. Women's be quiet.

35:34 It's dark, but yes, that's Martha all right in there, and she's in bed, sound asleep. Well shoot, your said half said, it's easy, li late. When I I just can't understand it, I don't try snor meantime, try to make yourself comfortable. Admire if you will, the beauty of this bungo. Yes, it's very nice, as you can see all the four oranger is what you call a ratan. How beautifully handmade by the artistic makers of furniture of the Ireland. And please please do notice the draperies. They're very pretty.

36:16 Fishing nets woven by the fisherman of the island and made into most unique decorative hinds. But how could she have been expecting me? I wasn't in the morning, Senor, when you awaken, you would see a few from the bedroom window as you have never seen before in. All your life. Are you sure that she I'm quite sure. Mangoo b is situated on a most high cliff, looking down two thousand defeet into our beautiful sea and the rocks below. U. Yes, of course, I look forward to seeing in the morning, Senor, and pleasant dreams. How did you are?

37:05 What was he talking about? Martha? Couldn't possibly have been expecting me? Not for another three days? Well? Hell, lord, get clear up in the morning. I better get undressed, get a little sleep, and my little gift for Martha, my anniversary present, beautiful string of pearls perfectly matched. Oh wonderful luster. Well i'll keep till morning. I'll put them around her beautiful neck as I wake. Oh Lord, I'm tired, lights out, tony. I feel as if I hadn't slept you in. No, no, not again, not here of all places. Oh that pain is coming again.

37:57 It's spreading down the whole side of my face. It's hard to breathe. It is me, my darling, Alberto. I'm sorry to be late. Oh I beg your pardon, what are you doing here? I apologize, Sir Afrid, for mistake. I thought this was bangalo Bee. This is Bungalow be young man, and I'm afraid that you've made a very great mistake. If this is Bangalobe, I have made no mistake. Who do you think you're looking for? I cannot cease in your but this can not be any of your business. Please keep your voice time. My wife is in there asleep.

38:39 Your wife the beginning to be most than you're thinking. That beautiful young woman is the wife of an old rooster like you. This is very funny, your wife. You better believe you've come to the wrong place. Perhaps it is you have made a mistake, the American girl told me before I kill you. Oh the armed man has a gun too, Yes, and it is loaded. About as you say, Senor, she is all yours, or man, good night and good luck.

39:19 As the door slammed shut, something exploded inside me. I knew that these last few months of doubt, fear, suspicion about Martha were based on something more than fantasy. This young man was evidence of it, clear and tangible proof. I hadn't been expected for a few days and Pablo had mistaken me for this young man. My brain began to pound like a trip hammer. I no longer trusted myself to be in the same room with Martha if I stayed. At that moment, I looked out at my hands. The string of pearls was still in them. I tore them apart curiously and watched. As they rolled floor.

40:01 All night long, I wondered, as though drugged up, and down the long miles of beach, ghostleep white in the moonlight. In the morning, weary and numb, I found my way back to the lobby of the hotel. Tony dying. No, it can't be. When did you get here last Night's plain connecting boats? Oh, darling, why didn't you let me know you were coming? Well? I had a crazy idea, Martha. I wanted to surprise you. You certainly have. Why didn't you come to the bungalow? I did, Martha, Oh, Tony, I would have heard you. I came in very quietly. Is anything wrong? Are you all right? Sweetheart?

40:42 I under dandy. Where did you sleep last night? I didn't. I walked along the beach after I left the bungalow. Oh, why should you have done a silly thing. Martha. What have you been up to since you got here? Tony, dear now stop, I won't be cross examined. You know very well. Was that young man, Martha? What are you talking about? What young man? The young man who came calling on you in the middle of the night. He said he had an appointment. I haven't the remotest idea what you're talking about. I'm leaving on the next boat. It goes at four o'clock, Tony.

41:23 Could we go over to the bungalow. Please? You cannot talk here in the. Lobby, all right, whatever you like, Martha, we're. Not put the key. Oh here it is, Martha. What is it? What's wrong, Martha? You've made a mistake. Mistake. The furniture, the furniture, it's all different from what it was last night. I don't understand you, Tony. They were made of fish netting. These are what do you call the mets sick bamboo? Martha. What's the letter on this bungalow?

42:03 It's bungalow bee. Of course this isn't the bungalow where you slept last night. Of course it is. Let's take a look at the bedroom. Oh no, there can't be. You were sleeping in a double sized bed, king size in fact, and this room has two twin beds. I wait, I know the view? Pablo said that the view from this bedroom window was something that I have. What is wrong, Tony? He said that, He said that there was a beautiful view of the sea and the rocks below the cliff and palm trees. Martha, Martha, what do you see out of this window?

42:43 Nothing but the side wall of the bungalow next to us. And where is the beautiful view? Unless for some reason Pablo lied. To me, When the tree that is stood in the forest for a thousand years topples and falls crashing to the ground, is there a sound if there are no ears to hear it? Do the brilliant colors of the rainbow exist for someone who has never had the blessed gift of eyes and eyesight? These are questions for which there are no easy answers. Just what similarly disturbing questions are there for Tony Bridges, questions to which he has not yet found the answer. We'll find out shortly when I returned with that too.

43:34 Excuse me, sir, but do you know what happens. This time of year, right on pal I happen to know that right about now, a freak blizzard falls on Dumont, New Jersey, and they're snowed in for the rest of the summer. Everything. Nope, you see, what happens this time of year is that you can get a particularly good deal on what is perhaps the most luxurious mid sized car on the market, the mid sized Buick Century Regal. What goods a car when you're hopelessly snowed in? Well, it's a. Point, am'am. What's for dinner, am'am? What's she got? Here's this week's dinner winners from your shopright supermarket. Fresh American whole leg of lamb just ninety seven cents a pound, shoulder lamb chops a dollar twenty seven a pound first cut beef chuck stakes fifty nine a pound semi boneus beefchu roast ninety nine cents a pound fresh port spare ribs eighty nine cents a pound fresh honeydew melons just sixty nine cents each. Lots of variety for your menus and savings too. Get a lot more for a little less throughout your Shopwright store.

44:43 Dude, she loves the family. She wants the best. She does all she can do. She dots shop right to the rest. Hey, maw, what's for dinner? Shop right? Has the answer? This is wr in New York. You're a mystery theater station worthy events for Tony. Bridges of the night just passed? The tree falling in the forest unheard or colors never seen? What was the logical explanation for Tony? What had happened was all a little strange and curious.

45:28 Martha and I talked all morning. She finally convinced me that everything that had happened last night was in fact a series of reasonable coincidences that spelled out mistake. For the first time in months, I felt as close to Martha as I ever had, and I knew she felt the same way about me. We went for a walk into the mountains that rose behind the hotel. On the way back, just as we were nearly at the bungalow, Martha lost her footing turned her ankle badly. I carried her into the bedroom. She rested while I unpacked an ordered dinner in our rooms. So, with your permession, a beautiful dinner has been prepared for you and the Senora look here this.

46:11 Fish were swimming happily in the zea only. Half an hour ago, and one hour ago, these beautiful vegetables were growing proudly in our own dime. Yes, yes, thank you, thank you very much, Pablo. It all looks beautiful. Indeed, I placed the dinner here on the table. Thank you. And I hope you do not suffer too much. Pain if I try to move it or put weight on it. You just stay where you are for a day or two and it'll be fine. I'm sure it is essential that one exercise care when walking in our beautiful mountains. From the time when there were earthquakes. Here there are some cracks where one can trip and twist an ankle.

46:56 Really, this is a earthquake country. I don't know it was not in any more than forty years, your dearlyselved. I leave you to the enjoyment of it. When it's nuchious to both, signor Senora. Well, let me get these few things away in the closet, and then we'll have our so beautiful dinner. Do you have the key there? What key to the second closet? That's lock? Oh? I forgot If there isn't any key, Pablo said, the last guest took it with him. There's no master key, so he's ordered a duplicate from the main land. Well, I'll put my stuff in your closet.

47:37 Then all right, the key should be here by tomorrow or the next day. That is great. And now, if the Senora will permit that she be carried from her bed to this most appetizing dinner, Senor. We go there. We are a. Comfortable Yes, couldn't be happy except for this stupid ankle. When a petito, my darling to us still us. In the middle of the night, I was wakened by the most curious sensation. My bed was being shaken violently all around me. I had a feeling of the furniture. The pictures on the wall were vibrating in some strange way.

48:31 The whole bungalow was quivering. Martha, Martha, are you all right? Martha? Are you awake? Where's that light there? Fatha? Her bed was empty, Martha, where are you? Where could she be? Then I suddenly remembered her anchor. How could she have left her bed? Where could she have gone? What had Papa said about this once having been earthquake country? Of course, that's what was happening at your We're in the middle of an earthquake, aren't we? Yes, But of course there is. What are we supposed to do? Do you look? Will you stop beating about the bush? Just tell me that it's nothing serious, or that it will pass without damage. But don't tell me that it's nothing.

49:29 You tell me why is your earthquake? The picture is my bed, the lamp. The whole room is shaking and jumping around. And that noise, that rumbling noise. How are you why she is? But that's just it. It's really why I called. My wife is not here? Oh, I am so sorry. Here have you seen her? I come? But but where could she have gone? She can't walk? Oh? These I have known not insenu. No, wait a minute, wait, wait, just a moment. The sound seems to have stopped, and nothing's shaking anymore. Is it all over? I think the cops.

50:13 I can explain the strenuous clime you have made this afternoon in the mountains, the kindness of the altitude. And the thinness of the air. You are not used to it. It happens too many of our guess what happens? It is a kind of a. Spasm of the muscle, senile from the contitude. I'm so happy in this passed. But my wife? Where is my wife? Ah that, Senor, as I have all, they said, I actually have not the slightest idea. See when Senor, in spite of my concern about Marfa, I fell asleep immediate, a long and merciful sleep.

51:03 When I awoke, it was broad daylight. The sun was streaming in through the windows, and everything was exactly as it had been in the middle of the night. Except for one thing. Lying in the next bed, reading calmly, was Martha, Good. Morning, sweetheart. Did you have a good night? I slept like a rock. Where were you last night? Tony? That go of my arm your Where were you? Where did you go? Where were you? Let's go. With my throat again. In the middle of the night you left this bedroom. Now where did you go? You're out of your mind. Take a look at this angle of line. It's purple and blue. It's twice the size it was last night. I can't walk on it except with the greatest pain. You asked me where I was last night? I was here, right here in this bed, every minute of the night.

52:02 A couple of days passed, they were blessedly peaceful, uneventful, golden. Two days before our vacation was to end, Martha's ankle was strong enough for her to venture out on another little walk into the hills that ran along the edge of the cliff that overlooked the sea below. Oh, this cane's a great help. I really don't have to put my full weight on the anchor. Just watch your step, avoid any of those cracks that Pablo pointed out. Oh look, darling, there's a clearing up ahead. We could rest for a bit when we get up there. Oh, listen to those birds. Yes, the whole thing is like a garden of Eden, you. Know, Pablo said. If we follow this path, we'll discover thousands and thousands of wild orchids. We should have come here long ago. It's so much more fun than going to those silly luncheons.

52:52 For the first time in the months, I began to feel sure of myself, sure of Martha. In spite of all my fears. You she loved me. I had no reason for being jealous of her fun, not a single reason. As she spoke, I began to hear a strange sound, like the flapping of a thousand wings. Coming nearer and nearer. Tell me block the sky is black with them birds, huge birds. Not at what are the They're all pink and redings. I've never think of any birds in my life. They're coming closer and closer. What we do I don't know.

53:35 Mother user came. If they come close to use it like a baseball. Bestuse it flats for the tree. I will assume. Oh that people just. Knock off my glasses. I can't see. Think I. Got a darling sooner earlier. But what happened? Where do they go? Day? The flamingos, the birds, they disappeared as suddenly as they came. Are you all right? I'm fine. I can't imagine. Oh I need a cigarette, You take one of mine.

54:18 They're in my bag. I can't see very well. I lost my glasses when those birds. The bag, it's right near your feet. Oh yes, yes, I've got it. There's so much junk in your bag. What's that? What is it? Listen? Do you hear it? What do you suppose it is? Martha? You do hear it, don't you? I? I think so? In the distance those drums beating, of course, of course I hear them. Deed, thank heavens, I thought, for a where do you suppose they come from? Who's playing what I have? In the slightest idea, it's funny, not for that cigarette. Don't we go to the bottom of your bag and and Martha, Martha, what's this?

55:19 That's the key to the closet in the bungalow, to your closet, to my closet and your closet. It's to both closets both. When did it get here? It's always been here. Why when I asked you about it the other night, you said there was no key to my closet. Somebody had taken it away and they were making a new one. I said that, of course you did. Now wait a minute, Wait a minute. It's all starting to make sense that anyone could be so evil, that anyone could so despise another human being that she'd stop at nothing, so to anything to get him out. Of the way. You don't know what you're saying. I love you, tell me. You must believe all, even to the point of trying to drive a man out of his mind. All these strange.

56:04 Things that have been happening. Oh, they were no coincidences. They were all part of some twisted devilish scheme. You worked out to get rid of me by driving me mad. You're begging me some close at the edge of the class. A mix up with the bunkers. Oh that was a good one. How did you work that? And the business of your ankle and disappearing in the middle of the night that was worthy of a mass and the burns huh. And now this key. Oh, you missed your calling, Martha. You should get an act together. Martha the mysterious magician. She mystifies, she confuses, the hand is cricket on the eye, She cheats, she lies. But it's all part of the act, isn't it, Martha, isn't it? Cheerful? County, I'm losing my dad?

56:46 Can long trip barth. Two thousand feet? And those sharp rocks down there? Can't be very comfortable, Kennedy, The act is over. Curtain. Mother jealousy is said to be the child of love, But if the parent does not do his best to strangle the child, the child will not rest till it has poisoned its own father, which may well be the case with Tony Bridges. To what further extremes will let deadly venom of his jealousy, drive tony. He may or may not know the answer, but we shall when we return shortly with Act.

57:39 Three, Give your hand to a friend, give your heart to your loves, but give your cold. Yes, the common cold is a run thing you miss so much. Using drips and congestion can drag you down. Then ask yourself the contact question six or three oh one. You'd need six colds out its two every four hours, or three ounces of colds liquid one every four hours, or just one contact for up to twelve hours, continuous relief of those symptoms. That's daytime then nighttime relief. Both the others have things for aches and fever, and the liquid something for costs not found in contact six hundred tiny type fields held. The contact six or three or what take? Contact only is direct. Most appetizers you eat, but there's one appetizer you drink. Dubinet's time to think about.

59:03 Speak of dubonet as an appetizer. It's the wine you drink before meals, before lunch, before dinner, at cocktail time, before whatever you've got cooking. It helps to wet your appetite, whether you serve it straight on the rocks with a twist or soda. Dubonet before makes what comes after that much better Dubenet. It all started in France, of course, product of USA Dubinet Company, New York. New York.

59:49 A glorious feeling of exhilaration flowed through Tony. His head was as light as if he drunk too much champagne. For the first time in years, he he no longer had a heavy millstone around his neck, the torment of having a beautiful young woman for a wife. Tony Bridge's only concern now was to find some way to get off the island before Martha's body was discovered. The same drums I'd heard just before Martha. I started walking, slowly, deliberately, in the direction from which they seemed to come. Well out of my glasses, I could just barely see where I was going. I tore my way through a tangle of creeping vines and found myself in some sort of clearing.

1:00:37 I almost stumbled over something seated before a small fire. It was an ancient little man of the island, his face like so much black parchment. His clothes in rags. He sat there, hunched over the smoky fire, blinking his eyes and mumbling, I beg your. Pardon, eh, well, I should not seize in the middle of the path, but it is a good place to meditate. Who are you? What's your name? Old man? You long forgotten name? Meden by me? What are you doing here? See Jean listening, thinking, listening to the sad and mournful song of my people.

1:01:22 You mean those drums. You hear them too, alas I hear them too well. I hear them whatrely. For where does the sound come from our island? There's more, They come from everywhere. They are heard everywhere. But why, why? What do I mean? It's what who hear? Islam and Dashian death has a walk home among my people, among the last one. It is why this. Place is called It's Larios, peridousland. The last someone has died, Someone has passed on Tomacco, who is my great father of all things in the sea, from where we all have come to where we all shall go? I see this is the reason for the wearing of the drums.

1:02:21 They beat out of their farewell to the soul of a man who is marking the journey tomorrow, the soul of. A man or a woman. Man always man, not woman. But woman. Drums play another song not this one, I understand. I'm very sorry for the poor man who has who has gone on to Marco. When did he die? No one can be sure. Perhaps he is not yet dead. Then why the drums of unseen who had the promise of things to come to some soon?

1:03:07 Sometimes this spirit of a man will die before he does. Then Mark who is his special sad because he is me to wait when that happened, The meddy of the drums, he's his special sad too. Like now, I left my ancient friend as quickly as possible, made my way back to the hotel. I couldn't stop thinking of all the confusing things that had happened since I arrived on this Curser island. The mix up with the bungalows, the visitor that first night, the missing closet key where I have thought was an earthquake, Martha's apparent disappearance in the middle of the night in spite of her bad ankle, be attacked by the flamingos, and finally, my realization that Martha is some way has made all these things happen to drive me out of my mind.

1:04:04 But hold On has made things happen, made things happen Martha is dead. Her body at this very moment has been battered against the sharp rocks by the angry waters of that beautiful blue sea. Signor, Senor Bridges, I have been looking for. Your call over what do you want? Most especially, I have been looking for the Senora your what what is it for you? Signor? This small package has had eyed by this morning's boat. Thank you for the Senora. This letter care made very especial.

1:04:45 He's marked most Yes, yes, I'll ticket you. Will be sure, Senori reaches the cans of the Senora is. Also marked very personally. Don't worry, Thank you, Senor. I walked over the bungalow bee. Once inside, I collapsed into the big chair, feeling as though my life blood had been drained from me. I opened the package addressed to me, Good old Fritz. My glasses I put them on, and things came into focus once again, and I tore open the letter addressed to Martha.

1:05:29 Very special delivery, most urgent, very personal. As I read, my hands began to shake my head to ache. When you get this letter, Tony will already have surprised you. I did my best to think of a way to keep him from coming without arousing any suspicions. No luck under the pleasant circumstances. It would be best for you to take every possible precaution. You cannot be too careful, dear martyr. My last examination of Tony showed unmistakable symptoms in the simplest language of the deterioration of the brain disshes.

1:06:18 The symptoms point clearly to a situation where tawny sanity. Hangs by a very thin thread. At any given moment, that thread may snap. If it does, the first manifestations will be an attack of dizziness, accompanied by a body. In years and the learning of the vision. There are also indications of things that follow the classic pattern that there will be a series of hallucinations hallucinations. He will think he sees and hears things he actually he does not see or hear. He will think he has done things he has not actually done. Hallucinations, and none of these things ever really happened. And Martha's alive. She's alive like everything else. I imagine that too, I imagine that I killed her.

1:07:29 See fronto, Pablo, Pablo, have you seen the Senora moment? Tito parfolar I have not seen your wife since she left with you. Signor you you don't understand Pablo everything, really you please to havevy seat for one small moment, Senor, until I complete this telephone call. Your pardon. See you see, Pablo, I'm not exactly well. And I had the foolish idea that Martha and my wife had had fallen over the that I had pushed her, and that that she you understand. And the guy who's dead, No, he's incredible. Yes, the ghuru, I thought you might be dead, But now I know that that too was what we call an hallucination, something to think a chio and look appeared that way.

1:08:14 Badroom. Oh your digar. Rais casta? What was that all about? Pablo? I regretfully must inform your Signor some fery bad news. Have the foot of the cliff. Signor just below the hoteils, two fishermen have just discovered the body of the Senora, your wife. The police would soon be here. How are you all right, Senor Nesh, Yes, I'm fine, Pablo.

1:08:57 Did I hear you speaking on phone a moment ago? Difore? I see, sen you it was the contractor for the building of the annexed to these and. You didn't tell me something about two fishermen, what they found at the bottom of the cliff. I'm not one words it. You're about any You said nothing about my wife? What not? Sing your thank you, thank you, Pablo. I'll be in the bungalow. Was that phone conversation? And what Pablo had told me about Martha's body being found at the foot of the cliff, was that too hallucination? Along with my backing her off the cliff? What was real?

1:09:42 What was the legend? Was Martha dead? Was she alive? I rushed back into the bungalow. I knew Martha would be there. Dear, sweet, wonderful, beautiful Martha, Martha, Martha's sweetheart. Where are you, Martha? The bathroom? Where on earth could she be? Yes, it's good you are, but you have two heads. I wait accompany them to the bongo. We wait be here anymore. She couldn't possibly have gone to. Now what's this? What have I got in my hand? Where did it come from?

1:10:24 The key to my closet? I had it when I asked Martha for a cigarette and she told me that, And it's been here in my hand all that time. Strange. I must open the closet now, I do have the key, and that's what keys are for, to open things. Isn't that right, Tony? You must to excuse us, say you're these are the police of the idol. No, no, no, not just this minute. Please not till I opened the door to the closet. And we can't tell you they made when she cleaned this morning found the door to the closets copen.

1:11:12 So no, no, it isn't for real. I only imagining this. It's my imagination, gentlemen, it's my imagination. See Senor have here in this closet that is the body of his wife, he strangled. With this string of PreCure spurse. The poet Longfellow wrote, the moon from some dark gate of cloud throws o'er the sea, A floating bridge of light across who is trembling flanks our fancy's crowd into the realm of mystery at night. So Tony bridges as he stands staring into the sea, watching the floating bridge of light cast by a full Caribbean moon. Tony knows at last the difference between the real and the imaginary, Or does he.

1:12:23 I'll be back shortly. Pardon me, miss huh, can you tell me. What happens this time of year? Barb reaches its peak? Nope, Muskmelon reaches its peak? No, no, does it in any way involve something reaching its peak? No? Not really. What happens this time of year is that you can get a really outstanding deal on Buick's small but surprisingly elegant Apollo, And with what's happening to Price's, you may never have a better chance to buy a Buick. Hey, I know what happens The buzzards come back to Hinkley Ridge, Ohio. Oh I thought of that.

1:13:05 We trust you've enjoyed our little exercise in now you see it? Now you don't. Or, to put it another way, a string of precious pearls should never be used for anything other than show. But that's something everybody knows, isn't it. Our cast included Norman Rose, Marion Soeli's, Bob Caliban, and Ian Martin. The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown Radio. Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Contact the twelve Hour Cold Capsule. This is Eg Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the macabre.

They didn't fool me. We got it for three dollars. Well, later we went around to the back to pick up our stuff. Yes, that's ours. The statue too, on the trunk right here, lady.

Darzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard in the second act of Going, Going Gone. He did you have a good Thanksgiving dinner? A meticulously made marvelous meal, hap and ignition engineered. To ignition engineered dinner. Sure it went together perfectly, just like ignition engineered auto light spark plugs go perfectly with the ignition system of your car for smooth performance.

1:22:11 Who cooked Carlo? Why the same esteemed enterprising experts who design auto lighted spark plugs, just as they designed the coil distributor and all the other important parts of the complete ignition systems used as original factory equipment on many leading makes of America's finest cars. Autolight ignition engineers. Of course, they cooked the turkey. No, no, no, half. These auto light ignition engineers cook the goose on poor engine performance because they designed spark plugs that are world famous for quality and dependability, Ignition engineered auto light spark plugs. How was this stuffing? Well, stuffing was knocked out of my old spark plugs. So my auto light spark plug dealer replaced them with new Ignition engineered auto light spark plugs. Now I'm all set to dessert mean spine, no no, no, half set to desert the garage and send my little Lourie leaping along the lane like a lustrous limousine on the loose.

1:23:04 So friends, have your auto lte spark plug dealer replaced worn out spark plugs with world famous Ignition engineered auto light spark plugs, either the standard type or the resistor type. See them tomorrow, because you're always right with auto light. And now with going going gone, and the performance of Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard, autolite hopes once again to keep you away. In suspending well, we sat and looked at the trunk full of jewels. We looked at the cut window. He didn't say anything, just looked. Then Jan went into the kitchen and she came back. She had a bottle of beer and two glasses. It's a funny thing about Janet the drop of a hat. She's got to celebrate. Of course, we had something to celebrate about one hundred million dollars worth.

1:23:58 What are we going to do with it? I don't know. I want to think. Maybe we ought to call the police. Why should we call it. Supposing it's all stolen jewels? Oh yeah, Hey, the door. Somebody's to the door. Come on, get the rides and paper back in the trunk. We'll put it in the bedroom. It's probably only mother or the guy from the auction. Hurry, why do you push an out pull? Well? I feel as if we've done something wrong. Gotta be careful. Now shut the door. Look if it is your mother, don't say a thing now please? All right? How do you do? My name is Anatole Minshi. Yes you are, mister Pindella.

1:24:42 That's right. You bought a trunk this afternoon at the auction. You see. I arrived too late to buy it myself. Well that's too bad, too bad, Yes. Mister Pindell, I'll give you two hundred dollars for it sentimental value. You you stay. I'm very sorry, but we don't don't care to sell it. Would you mind getting your foot out of the door.

Later in the night they come the killers, killers, Who are they?

1:30:43 The jewels? Where are they? They're they're in the trunk. We put him in the bedroom. We can't let him die. Call the police, Wally, a doctor something, Save yourselves. Get out of this house. Yeah, get out rely, Yeah, I guess so, poor guy. I'm scared. Moly, what are we going to do? I don't take it easy. Nobody's gonna hurt you. Hello, Hello, for Pete's sake, what's the matter?

And if they're waiting out there, you get killed like him. You gotta think. Wait a minute, put out the light. I'm gonna peek out. You stay behind the curtain, Wally, don't let them see you. He was getting misty. You couldn't see at the end of the street, but near the lamp post, a couple of houses down, I saw a black car, big and long.

1:32:17 Now there are only two houses in our street, Mine and a neighbor who wasn't home. And I've never seen that car before. Thought of what was in the trunk and what was lying right inside the front door. Man doesn't like to show it, but as I looked out, I was scared. Can you see them? No, but there's a car down there. You must be in it. No, no, no, wait a minute, but stay back. I can see lights coming around the corner slowing down. She must be drunk, that's mister Flynn.

1:32:57 Oh, mister Flinn. He won't be any good. He always comes. He's home drunk on Sundays. Well, I'm going to try anyway. I just hope he's too drunk to get into the garage. Good. He didn't make it. Now, look, honey, I'm going to open the window and yell, get down on the floor. They may start shooting, mister Flynn. Hey, mister Flynn, mister Flynn, it's Pinnedell, Wally Pindell. Listen, we're in trouble. Mister Flynn.

1:33:38 You've got to call up police. Tell him to get over here in a hurry. Now, get in your house quick. You're in danger too. Okay, he must be fairly sober tonight he's going to do it. Oh gee, if the police can get here in time. It's funny they didn't try anything. But what are we going to do with him? Mister minshe I don't know. Better put him in the bedroom. I guess, honey, he's dead, poor guy. But you stay here. I'll carry him in, right. I carried him into the bedroom and laid him down. Never touched a dead mat before.

1:34:23 I always thought they'd be cold. He wasn't. Not yet. Then the doorbell rang. It's them. Stay with me, yeah, hi, val mister Flynn. Anybody with you? We have you got a party? You want to actually get a friend? Okay, no, no, no, come on quick, don't push, don't pull. I told you to call the police. Police. I thought you said police. Go on up and have a drink. What's the matter? Somebody dead?

1:35:04 Oh honey, jan go make some coffee. Well there's something anything. Now listen, are you sober enough to listen? Oo? So now, now look, we've got to get the police. Alright, let me out. Some men are outside and they're trying to kill us all. They've already killed one man. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Now listen. We can't use our phone, so we've got to get to another one. Oh no, I know these wild parties. Get on my phone and call some Dame in Paris, France. Or no, if you weren't so drunk. Now, come on, come on. He hurt, Hey Jan Jan.

1:35:47 He's no help. He's too drunk. Now listen, I'm gonna make a run for you. Can't go outside this. We're not going to stay here. Sure, where's that right? Where you going? I'm going to take another look out the window. Oh, I like to be hard. Car is still there? Anything? Sir? Or no? Don't get that. I can't see if anybody is in it. Got to take the chance where you go. There's no good trying to get to Fling's house. Let's see us. I'll try the back way. If I get to the garage, I might be able to make it to the police in the car. What about him? I don't want to stay here alone with him? Well, okay, you come with me. We went out the back door. Everything was quiet, even quieter than usual because of the fog. I knew we couldn't be seen from the street if we were quiet. Sh all right, place to leave a garbage pail? Can you see anything? No, I'll open the door right.

1:36:58 I told you to oilish. Did he got the key? No, you've got it? No, I haven't you drove this afternoon? I gave them to you. You did not? Oh them in the ignition? Get in? Really they must have made the noise. But when I get out of the garage, you ducked down. They try to stop us. Run them down. It's so loud, that's all right. Hold on, guns out, boys stepping down. Where's the black car here?

1:38:08 Right over there across the street. Well it's gone. Hey maybe there, Jan, you stay here? Looks bad. The door's open now you wait, mister Panel will go in first. Really, I don't know yet. Guys search the back, okay, so. Depend yes, yes, I'm coming. Who's this? Well, this is my neighbor, mister Flynn. He's drunk. Where'd you say the body was? And the trunk will in here? But well he's gone. They must have taken him away. But but the trunk is here. Look, yeah, the jewels they're not here. Mister Minshe he was there. Now listen, don't look at me like that. I tell you there was a trunk full of jewels and mister minshe, Jan Jan come in here and tell them, will you, Jan?

1:39:20 Well that was about it. The same trunk was there empty? It wasn't a mark on the bed, and the dead body was gone. He managed to wake up mister Flynn, but he couldn't remember anything except that you want another drink. Police are pretty mad, but I guess Jan convinced him he hadn't been kidding anyway. We gave him coffee and that was that. There isn't much more to it set at. About two months later, Jan and I were having breakfast one Saturday when the mail came. Honey, do we know anybody in Mexico? I don't think so. More coffee. Yeah, Look, it's from Mexico. I know, dare you? He said so mister and missus Wallace Pindell?

1:40:06 Was it from there? Jen? There's some money in it? Two one dollar bills? Let me see what does the letter say. Dear folks, I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you, but it was my trunk and my jewels, and I had to get it back, so I know you'll excuse a little trick I played on you for reasons best known to myself. I put all the jewelry in the trunk and by telegram ordered the sealed trunk to be sold at auction. Unfortunately, you beat me to it and closed as a token of my appreciation. Sincerely, Anatole Minshi.

1:40:51 Then he wasn't dead? Uh, probably not. We better tell the police why. All those jewels. Suppose they were stolen? He says right here that they're his. Who'd steal a trunk full of jewels? I know, let's forget the whole thing, pretend it never happened. But every once in a while we're reminded of it. There's a diamond ring about as big as a half dollar. I'd put it in my pocket after I cut the glass out of our window. Jan used to wear it to parties, but not anymore. She thinks it looks too much like a fake.

1:41:50 Saw. Spends presented by Auto Light Tonight stars Ozzie Nelson Land, Harriet Hilliard. What's that, our lord Turkey that got away?

But don't worry, my dear, The night may be gaining moment to How about just one more before you head back to your warm, cozy home. This one is I enjoy quite a bit. I don't even remember the last time I dusted it off, but I think it's worth enjoying with a spot of tea and a bit of camaraderie. That rhyme, So one more log on the fire will gather close for this one, because when it comes to life and death, it's best to keep things in the present tense.

1:44:43 Tired of the everyday routine, ever dream of a life of romantic adventure. I want to get away from it all. Where are you escape? Escape designed to free you from the four walls of the day for a half hour of high adventure.

Present tense, starring Vincent Price.

1:45:57 Through the dim Paine, A cold, dark land, wheeled the way and the hills beyond below the stars are black and sharp, dead hills, stark sky, cold steel below my feet. Cold is the faith of the officer at my side. Cold is the cuffs which link my arm to his, which join us on this journey to the prison where I die. No, go on, take one, No, I don't use them. Has this happened to you before? What? Being handcuffed to a murderer? Has it happened to you before? Sure, bunnette to an act murderer. Yeah, there's nothing special, brother.

The cars must have gone down the gulley. No license for people in pain. This thing fastened to my wrist went halfway through the glass of the door.

The safe was gone. His own mother would know him. I'm free, I an you are. I must get away here my ring on the his finger. There that completes it. From Baker Steel.

My home it looks so small, so shabby. No one took care of it during the trial. No one cares, no one, No one cares now. But that's good. I like that. I'll be alone and I won't let the neighbors see me, and I'll sleep and figure out to where I go next.

1:49:00 Light coming in there and. The whole thing went. You'll always been the fra. Always, But I will. Baby, No, it can't be. She's dead. I know she's dead. Yeah, that cold, I'm not, he. Said, a mouthful lam. My husband in mine was never able to make me feel like vision takes a man.

1:49:43 Baby. What you could do is sit. Around and write those homes all the time frame. It so good that even he thought he. Killed m hm. Hm hm ah. What is that life? Hi? You're funny. You know that you're really. Open the kitchen door so quietly and walk softly here on the wall by the stove. The cleaver.

1:50:24 How did I hear? Yeah? I see them now it is she? How did they do it? How did they trick me into imagining the murder? I am innocent. The pig and his dirty undershirt, soft, weak, white neck, flat on his arms. Pig gripped the cleaver and walk like a feather. He shall be. Quite neck honest? I hears something? What's a man of sweetness? What's a man?

1:51:09 You? And now you? I was innocent there, and I thought myself guilty, and now I am truly guilty. And never in my life have I felt so innocent? Where like a. Dream, like a nightmare, the confession, the convictionless tents, and now once more dark night, colstal, the tound of wheels, just as I lived it before, or even the cold face of the Thailand officer at my tide, hard cold face, so much like that other faith.

1:52:01 One cigarette, no, go on, teke one no, I don't use them. Oh has this happened to you before? Being handcuffed to a murder? Has it happened to you before? Sure? Plenty times to an axe murderer? Yeah, you're nothing special, brother. Lots of guy's actually, wife. Lots of them. Will you ever cuffed to an axe murderer who killed two people, two people at once. What are you talking about? My sin, my crime? What I did? I killed them both, lambs. I take it easy, bro. They only kill your wife, just her, just one, That's all.

1:52:41 It has been raining for some days now, and beyond the barred window of the leaden sky, bleed sorrow on the barren land, the lonely land, the land beyond the prison wall. The sky who was blue when first that came here, blue, so blue. And now it is because as the walls of my cell, of all our cells, dark, cheerless sells, these lifeless sells, these cells of men, await to. Die that wet sky, gray sky, cheerless sky. But it is beautiful. I have twelve hours left of life, twelve hours left to live. Beautiful sky, beautiful, beautiful, wet and fresh and aliable. Rather would I send eternity at a well's bottom, but with one patch of that to gaze upon, Then leave this life, then leave this earth, then leave this sky.

1:53:35 I believe it. I mark the God told me. No man has ever escaped San Quentin's death. Row. Blocks and bars, gods and guns lie between me and the world beyond. No escape, nots from here, but wouldn't. This be nobler to gamble my life in bold attempts and lay it down in reckless resignation? Eh, now out of the super garded area. Oh oh god, what's wrong? What's the matter with you? My gut here? It's killing me? Oh?

1:54:16 Cut it, I'll call him. Is I press you? Tell me where? It hurts? Everywhere and all over down here there? Don't touch that place again. Call the ambulance. Right, this man's got appendicitis. Oh do something? What do I do? What if they send somebody with you and turns we're all tied up. They're giving shot today. He's acting kind of crazy. Let's get him over the hospital block. Hurry. I can't drive any faster. My windshields seamed up, so wipe it. You got a rag?

1:54:57 Yeah? Here, I could use my hand pal give in the hack. Oh my god, let's keep right on driving through the gate. At the top of your head comes off. You won't get away with this. I will. I'm betting my life that I will. How far back is the prison about fifteen miles at least? Then okay, hello, I'm taking her from here, and you two, I want your money, your clothes, and then you can walk back and explain about me, explain about him. They won't find the ambulance for days, not at the bottom of that canyon.

1:55:41 Now I crossed the border on foot and into Mexico. They are thank you. See when does the next bus leave from Mexico City at twelve o'clocks? Anyway, A little. Card bought in a back room with no questions asked, and I become a tourist. Four days growth of beard, and I've become poor, an empty suitcase with a butterfly net strapped to its outside, and I become a source of amusement, a funny, dumb gringo. And who looks with suspicion on the funny dumb gringo tourist who is poor.

1:56:29 Mexico City is. Beautiful, but not when you are hungry, not when you are an American who is hungry. Americans aren't supposed to be hungry. What can I do? All I know is writing, the writing of poetry. There is one. Place I might sell some points pollen his magazine prints, some English stuff. Perhaps, Well, why not? I have three pastors left, b and paper, a pencil, Sit in the park right and storm the bastion. Ah yeah, muh yeah, that's a schools here. Do you like them, mister Pollen, Well, I will excuse.

I'll make a new please do and so good day and I'll be back. Stay with the poem. America miles below the bleak brown mountains, the desert yellow and red, my home, my native land. My advanced money went for a new clothing and a round tripped plane ticket to Los Angeles, and my new lease on life. In a small file under the eaves of the little house in Beverly Glen, there are poems, more than a thousand.

1:58:49 Of them, poems which no one has ever seen poems written in the evenings after work on Sundays. And now with the beard and the hat and the glasses, no one will recognize me. Can I ought to carry a cane to get the point. If someone lived there in the house, if someone bought it, no matter, Get the poems and then get back to Mexico City. No one is living here. I wonder who the hedge is trimmed? And my my hammock. Someone put on a new Kansas cover.

Keep the beard, and it's gone gone. I can't remember when the who's coming up? Right? Ready? It's time to go, my son, Time to go. You've refused my help up to now. But perhaps you'd like to walk.

2:01:43 With me, rather beside you padred, than beside one of these mercenaries. My legs, the muscles quiver not with fear, no, but with the desire to feel themselves, moving, training, acting while yet there is time. I'm not afraid. But this body I hate the thought of its being killed by these men, my beautiful body. Soon it will be dead, cold, running dead, It will rot. No, they must not do this to me. You must be brave, my son, right body, you I spent with the Great corporeal master, the yogi, learning my bodily purpose, my bodily care, the use of willpower to control my body, the yoky my teacher. Yes, I shall use yoga to spend my breathing and become invulnerable to their gas, to spend my body functions to the point of death and fool the doctor of course.

2:02:40 Oh, yes, the greatest escape of them all. And this time I must succeed. All right here, well, yeah, roll. So small? Somehow I had imagined it would be larger. And here is the chair. Yes, traps good, I no, you shwn? And over there the glass any small pain with the dark faces dimly through the witnesses.

2:03:22 I lay arms along the whole room. Is it's like some strange lord of time machine machine for launching a man into another direction. True, I best begin to pro relax. Relax, relax, It won't be easy, every one who lost words, my son. Yes, one request, do not allow my poor body to be dissected or embalmbed. But on the third day after my death, cremate it. That will be arranged as you desire. Thank you, God be with you, my son. Remember what Christ said to the two criminals in this day shall that'll be with me in heaven, and.

2:04:06 Move your head forward a little. I put the hood down. And now when you hear the pellets stop into the air, said, don't try any tricks. Just breathe deeply, see Jones, don't hurt see you just cooperate with us. Make it easy on yourself. You know what I mean. Dark here under the hood. Now the life breath has the Yogi taught. Me, and the lungs hold it body, limp, all muscles, tendons, joints, relax all slow the blood stream, lock the breath, hold, hold slow, hold, suspend all bodily functions. Hold stick the eye in suspended animation. Gently fix the mind on time.

2:05:21 He's the beating of my heart. Time as a picture on the screen. Of my mind. Slower, slower, my perception is slower. The time seems to spend by. Now go slow my heart. Then leaders go on clearing the air of the poisonous fumes. Now the doctor will come with his stethoscope. I will my limbs to deffinite, my flesh to coldness. All right, it's clear doctor, you're going in.

2:06:06 Let's see now respiration ceased. Hearts dood. By the authority vested in me by the State of California. I pronounced this man dead. I will myself to consciousness in six hours time. Ah, my. Doc here and cool cold, I'm gonna get up and see.

2:06:48 Oh the prison mork could work, but I'm cool, so cool. Let's sack on my toe pad. It was dark to read it, but I know what it says. It has my name, prison number, time of execution. Yes, now to look around, because the next depth must be played just right, and should be it a coffin crate ready for shipping, some cadaver being returned to a sentimental family. Well, to be just right with him on my slab, my tag on his toe and the most perfect escape of all time underway.

2:07:36 Here we go. I will my body to return from its data suspended animation and to come immediately out of trance when next this coffin shall be opened.

2:08:16 Hello man. Uh veneral parlor, Poor fellow, you must. Have a bad hunt. No, it's going well. Let's hope he's out for a while. It must be the workroom light hanging over the work table, and they're a locker with a fute fine and here in the in the desk might not be some sort of. Yes, here a petty cash boxing. It's quite full. The old boy apparently doesn't believe in banks. And now and now that Lazarus is returned from the dead, this newspaper they do.

2:09:00 And I was executed four days ago. Now I find myself resurrected in Indianapolis, Indiana. Los Angeles, California. This is Los Angeles. You can claim your baggage in the station or on the platform. I returned to my home. Beautiful time to return home. My old hammock is there, and my flowers my yard.

2:09:41 The house is empty, the lawyer said he had it cleaned up, my book, my pictures. Here's my old pipe. I haven't smoked it in years, merely didn't like it. But now she's gone. I don't hate her anymore. Are still fairly fresh. Fill the pipe. There's that detective story I never got to finish. No, I'll have time now, I'll have lots of time, time to smoke and freed and write and rest. Times almost down twilight, wonderful time outside. Cools. We dare wonder what kind of birds those are?

2:10:26 My hammocks? H I like the pipe, and uh, I wish I could remember what tage all the time, but no matter, I can begin again. I've got all the time in the world, the rest of my life. The birds when the sun is slipping out of sight, death of it, I red the sky. Of the clouds, so loveless and loveless. What's that? Birds playing in the fish?

2:11:06 Pope brickson, happy bird, he sing, The neighbor is standing on his lawn, drinkling systems. Lie here now cooler. Evening coming on, guide of darker, lie in the gathering twilight, m death of. The day, breath of the night, sweet off the number night coming mm to the dark.
