A serial reading from
Herman Melville's ' Moby Dick ' by Geoffrey Tandy
While the head of the Pequod's first sperm whale is still hanging from the tackle two boats are sent off to catch a right whale, of which there are a number about, because superstition has it that once the heads of these two whales have hung at the same time, that ship can never capsize.
In this instalment Tashtego is bailing out spermaceti from one of the heads. He falls into the head, which slips its tackle, and Tashtego, entombed, is drawn down into the sea.

2.5 World History
Ⓓ 'Rome and Carthage: The Story of Hannibal'
E. A. Craddock
The story of Hannibal's march across the Alps is one of the most daring and sensational in the whole annals of military history. In the words of Plutarch: 'Hannibal led his army into the Alps..... As he passed through them he had many losses ; not only had he to fight the inhabitants of the mountains, but also to make his way through narrow passes. In certain places where the rocks were highest he was compelled to force a passage through by means of fire and vinegar.'
This afternoon listeners will hear how this passage was effected and why the Carthaginians under Hannibal were so jealous of the great empire across the Mediterranean.

Health
'Diet'
H. Munro Fox, F.R.S.
This afternoon Professor Munro Fox will discuss the importance of diet insofar as the general health of the body is concerned. While illness and disease may be due in many cases to poisons in the body, they are frequently caused by the lack of essential vitamins in the food eaten. Among the most important substances contained in food are protein, iron, and calcium, and should there be lack of these elements in the human diet ill-health is the almost inevitable result. Vitamins themselves are no less important. These substances were discovered only some twenty-five years ago, when it was noticed that rats could not grow and develop healthily on a diet of purified food unless some natural food, such as milk, was added.

Both tonight's broadcasters have been actively concerned in working for permanent Repertory, and listeners will be able to hear the viewpoints of two of the most virile figures in the contemporary theatre. Michel St. Denis is well known for his productions of Chekhov plays, while Michael Macowan is probably best known for his much discussed production of Eugene O'Neill 's Mourning Becomes Electro.

Mozart's first concerto was written while he ,was still the merest child, and yet the work was so difficult that no one in the family's circle of acquaintances could attempt to play it.
Mozart composed some forty-five concertos, most of which are for piano. The A major Piano Concerto, one of the finest of all his concerted works, dates from March, 1786. In other words, it belongs to the Figaro period. It is one of the three concertos composed for Mozart's subscription concerts in the Lent of that year, the other two being the E flat (K.482) and the C minor (K.491).
