'Ensign Gaff'
A serial play in six parts adapted by Violet M. Methley from her book 'Lydia Gaff'
5—'Ensign Gaff to the Rescue'
Production by Josephine Plummer
'I could have kicked myself! Here was I, Daniel Boone —old hunter, and up to all Indian tricks, you would have thought - falling straight into the trap they had set for me. I'd have sworn it was Jem and Lydia shouting for help—until I ran straight into the middle of a war-party of Cherokees, paint and ponies complete. The leader wasn't a Redskin, he looked near white and wore trappers' clothes like myself. They swarmed round me like wasps, but I put up a fight - knocked out several before they got me tied and helpless.'
5.50 Children's Hour prayers conducted by the Rev. Clifford O. Thomas
