Speaker 1: what's wrong you're doing me?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: How could you get a wireless message warning.
Speaker 2: You about gar What what was that message? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Start delict on your port pow? Could any other skip
Speaker 1: hene galict on your port pow? Lord?
Speaker 2: You're right, night, I never follow that the emergency.

Speaker 2: Let's close for the gals.
Speaker 1: If you were a right next once you said that
Speaker 1: message starts, he didn't give any names or call editing.
Speaker 1: But maybe you know the operator. His name is Waton.
Speaker 1: What's as to your say? Yes, no mistake about it.
Speaker 1: It was him, right, sir? What longsa you're looking white
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: What's who? Was my operator?
Speaker 1: Only a casta?
Speaker 2: It was washed overboard his own a year ago?
Speaker 4: Tonight, say what's the rut?
Speaker 2: There are two of usiness man brow, I never have
Speaker 2: no one wanted to think.
Speaker 4: Could you wireless operator not have been mistaken?
Speaker 2: One night?
Speaker 1: But not too orner? Both of them read the message
Speaker 1: and what is their water bosses taken? That does not
Speaker 1: go away with the fact that all the water lives
Speaker 1: were saved by the war men and threw a band
Speaker 1: down on the dialect.
Speaker 2: There was no way in the world that any other
Speaker 2: ship could have known of the position of.
Speaker 4: That derelict, and no other Watson that message, no.
Speaker 2: Miss van Borrow, no other Watson.
Speaker 4: Have you no explanation?
Speaker 1: Captain, Yes, I have an explanation, but whether or not
Speaker 1: to satisfy you and other questions.
Speaker 2: Well, any sort of explanation of an affair like that
Speaker 2: would be welcome.
Speaker 1: After you've heard from your sponsor, you will hear the
Speaker 1: Captain's explanation of the wireless mystery?
Speaker 3: Is this the day pass to.
Speaker 2: Not like the p uh ladies and gentlemen, the solution
Speaker 2: for which you have been waiting.
Speaker 1: In attempting an explanation of a thing like this, you
Speaker 1: must make certain concessions, such as Captain Well and Watson,
Speaker 1: for instance, hatched away from life without warning, without any
Speaker 1: preparation for death, would in his spirit form, finds himself
Speaker 1: in a realm where he would find it hard to
Speaker 1: adjust himself.
Speaker 4: In other words, Watson would still be handling after the
Speaker 4: friends and associates he left behind.
Speaker 1: Him on earth, right, miss member, Since we know nothing
Speaker 1: of the beyond, we must make certain surmises. And if
Speaker 1: we accept the belief that consciousness lives on for eternity,
Speaker 1: then Watson would be entirely aware of the life he
Speaker 1: had so abruptly left, Watson would be in a realm
Speaker 1: where time at nothing, yesterday, today, and tomorrow would.
Speaker 2: All be one yes.
Speaker 1: And in that realm of timeless things, Watson would see
Speaker 1: that derelict bearing down on us his friends. Who knows
Speaker 1: what agony of mind he went through, trying in desperation
Speaker 1: to reach some mind in sympathy with his seeking some
Speaker 1: way to warn us a danger impending.
Speaker 2: I have thought of it.
Speaker 1: Imagine that disembodied spirits somewhere out there, moaning to itself
Speaker 1: and its anguished inability to warn us.
Speaker 4: I must warn them. I must.
Speaker 2: I've tried to get the minds in tune with mine.
Speaker 1: If I could get short attention, that's an idea to
Speaker 1: find the wireless operator, have the sleep of.
Speaker 4: The key woman, who could tap out a warning you'd
Speaker 4: never even know he'd done it. That's it, that's seat.
Speaker 1: And so somewhere aboard a ship, a sleepy wireless operator
Speaker 1: under the influence of Watson, taps out the warning message
Speaker 1: that saved the little lane and her crew leaving the
Speaker 1: seas that.
Speaker 2: Realm of mysteries. Another unsolved mystery.
Speaker 3: That the FDA doing the hot fass A
