' Green Sailors and Fair Winds by Gilbert Hackforth-Jones
3-' The Sincerest Form of Flattery '
Production by Josephine Plummer
'Last week, you may remember, I told you of our strange adventure with a mysterious foreign submarine, and how cross poor old Captain Eaglehawk was because it hadn't happened to him. He said that he didn't believe a word of our story which we told him when we went alongside the Cape Horn in New-haven, but we soon found out that he had, because the first thing he did that very night, when he went ashore, was to tell everybody about it The next thing we knew, when we woke up in the morning, was that we had become News.' (Marv Green)
5.50 Children's Hour prayers conducted by the Rev. Colin Marr
