A serial version for broadcasting of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy, ' The
Penhales '
Read by Geoffrey Tandy
Ortho Penhale , in his attempt to recover the fortune of his family, has at last found an occupation that pays ; it is smuggling ashore the goods brought to the coast by the famous smuggler King Nick, and disposing of them throughout North Cornwall with the help of a train of pack horses.
This went on for a considerable time, much to Ortho's profit, but in this instalment it has all come to a sudden end, and Ortho has found himself adrift in a small boat with a dead man. Here a new phase of the serial begins, and the scene changes.
