The Sheriff cannot believe that two old prospectors, Flapjack and Morsehorn, have made up their age-old quarrel over an old, disused gold mine, and when he finds Morsehorn's house burnt to the ground he naturally suspects Flapjack. What has happened to Morsehorn, and whose are the footprints the Lone Ranger and Tonto find outside the burnt hut?

His Majesty King Hussein I of Jordan
with John Freeman
'I was about three paces behind my grandfather when we entered through the gate and suddenly I saw someone rush from behind a door to the right side with a revolver in his hand, and before anyone could do anything he fired a shot. My grandfather was hit and fell. I received a bullet that ripped a medal off my chest.'

'I wish that I could be a normal person in a strong, free Arab world that is united and progressive, than be a King of a small country or a small area where I might be an obstruction towards unity'

(BBC recording)
(Repeated in the Home Service on Friday, January 8, at 3.30)
