Home is the Sailor by Rumer Godden arranged as a dramatised reading in four parts 2: Another Doll Gone
Sometimes on a windy morning, and it was often windy in Penhelig, the Sea School boats went so fast and keeled so far over that the sails seemed flat on the water. It all looked thrilling to Curly and he decided that he. too, would get on a ship! He would find Thomas, and bring him back.
