' Forebitters and the Spanish
Armada'
H. E. Piggott
The songs of British seamen, as Mr. Piggott will explain, are as various in kind as British seamen themselves. There are the shanties and the forebitters-the folk songs of the sea; the innumerable ballads and songs about sea-fights or sea-life, generally written by professional ballad-makers to existing tunes, but sometimes by seamen themselves ; and, perhaps the best known of all, the ‘sea-songs’ of such dramatists and composers as Gay, Dibdin, and Braham, songs that were seldom sung afloat.

Investigates'
7—‘ Kidnapped ' by Noreen Scott and Stella
Reichenberg
(Adapted by Hans W. Priwin )
This week Inspector Hornleigh's problem has been supplied by two thirteen-year-old schoolgirls, who, inspired by the Inspector's previous investigations, determined to try their hands at play-writing. Encouraged by the success of a performance of their play at a school concert, these young playwrights submitted their script to the BBC. Hans W. Priwin , the creator of Inspector Hornleigh, adapted their script for the microphone, and tonight listeners are once again to be given a chance of spotting the criminal's mistake, and later of comparing their deductions with those of Inspector Hornleigh.
