A serial version for broadcasting of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy ' The Penhales ', read by Geoffrey Tandy
The end has come to Ortho Penhale's career as a privateer captain-he is now a prisoner in a Spanish gaol, and alone. Meanwhile things are beginning to complicate themselves at home in Cornwall. Young Trevaskis, who (unknown to himself) is Ortho's natural son, and therefore the only male Penhale heir, is back home on leave. In this instalment he meets Ortho's niece, Jenifer, daughter of his brother, Eli.
