Charles Eyre
In 1907 the sailing barque Dundonald was wrecked on the rocks of the deserted Disappointment Island off the coast of New Zealand. How the survivors prevailed for six months against appalling climatic conditions, and eventually built a boat which took them to a neighbouring island and led to their rescue, is described by Charles Eyre-then a young mercantile apprentice.

PART 8
Part 7 told of some of the events that led up to the resignation of Mr. Asquith, who had been Prime Minister for a longer period than any other in our history-the Liberals having smashed the Tory Government in 1906 by the biggest majority ever known and won three successive General Elections. His famous phrase ' Wait and see,' originally uttered as a threat in the House of Commons, was taken up by the newspapers and quoted as meaning apathy and delay.
Part 7 told also of the campaign of calumny by the press and political enemies against Mr. Asquith and his wife. Mr. Asquith, Lord Kitchener, and Sir Edward Grey , being the most prominent members of the Government, were the chief victims of this abuse. Violent quarrels in the * Silent Service,' intrigue in the Army, and disloyalty at home caused the forming of the Coalition Government in 1915.

by Graeme Edwards
Mr. Edwards, an Australian journalist, has been blind since infancy. In this programme he describes in detail — illustrating where possible with recordings-his own impressions of living without sight; his solutions to the problems it raises; the fears, consolations, and resentments that are linked with blindness. It is a thoroughly personal picture of a widespread disability.
