A Play specially written for Broadcasting by FRANK H. SHAW
THE essential action of this play takes place in Frank Shaw 's favourite setting — the sea-but in an interesting manner he shows how the medium of wireless may provide incidents which in another age would have been almost supernatural.
The scene opens in the Albert Hall at the close of a religious gathering, but in a flash the listener is transported to the deck of a vessel battling with storm off Ushant Light. In the fight for life which follows, the ship's company have the audible encouragement of prayer and well. wishing from their fellow-men on land, and that which in other days might have been a vision, becomes by modern science an actual fact.
