A serial version for broadcasting of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy, ' The Penhales'
Read by Geoffrey Tandy
Ortho. Penhale, the young squire of Bosula, found that smuggling was a very remunerative occupation, after all, and continued in it some time. But an unprecedented piece of activity on the part of the local dragoons interrupted one run, and Ortho found himself running before a gale of wind in his gig with a dead man as his only companion, and not knowing in the least where he was heading.
By the morning his situation was desperate, and as he was wavering between running his boat under, and so finishing the whole business, and the remote possibility of making somewhere on the French coast, he was overtaken by a slave ship, picked up, and taken along with her to be sold in Salee on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. This instalment finds him arrived there.
