On August 4, 1914, Commander Campbell found himself patrolling
the Irish Sea in H.M.S. Aquitania - one of the first Armoured Merchant Cruisers, which did so well in the war. He served in various parts of the world, convoying food ships from Rio and American troops from New York. He was the senior officer, saved when his ship, H.M.S. Otranto, was sunk off the Island of Islay with great loss of life, on October 6, 1918, just twenty-one years ago. He has told over the air the story of her loss.
Now, at the commencement of another war, Campbell comes to the microphone to tell another of his sea stories. A 'sailor's yarn' tells of a remarkable swimming feat by one of the crew of a ship in which he sailed. It is proverbial that sailor's yarns have to be taken with a grain of salt, and he warns his listeners to have the cruet ready.

In Part 1 listeners saw a picture of Harry Feversham, a boy of fourteen, descended from a long line of soldier ancestors, listening to first-hand accounts of the Crimean war. Sometimes brave men were cowards, and from that moment Harry became in embryo the man who was afraid of being afraid. The years pass; he re ncommission in his father's regiment, and, hearing that his h is ordered to a war in Egypt, he resigns his commission rather x father and Ethne, the girl he is going to marry.
In Part 2 three brother officers each send him a white feather, and Ethne, plucking one from her fan, makes it four. He sees in these feathers not a symbol of disgrace, but mucn n retrieving it. He proceeds alone to bgypt-
