A serial version for broadcasting of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy ' The
Penhales '
Read by Geoffrey Tandy
War having broken out with France again, Ortho Penhale found himself master of the Ghost, a brigantine privateer. His first cruise was a success, but since then matters gradually deteriorated until people began to say that the famous Penhale's luck had gone.
This instalment finds Ortho in company with an old whaling ship and a Channel Island lugger, dogging a number of Dutch East-India-men with a convoy of 74 guns, too large for them to engage with safety. But matters are desperate for the British ships and they finally close with her-the result of the engagement you will hear today.

Leon Boellmann, born in Alsace in 1862, was a real Frenchman, and none of his music could be mistaken for anything but genuine French. In one respect, however, his career as a composer was not the one usually followed by his countrymen - he wrote no music for the stage.

Coming to Paris at an early age to enter the Ecole de Musique Religieuse, he won many honours there; when only nineteen, he became assistant organist, and soon afterwards organist, of the church of St. Vincent de Paul. He achieved a great reputation as a master of his instrument composing a considerable quantity of music for it and choral music for the church, as well as orchestral and chamber music and songs. Boellmann died in 1897, a fortnight after his thirty-fifth birthday.
