00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Unsolved mysteries to night unsolves, mystery deals with the saving

2
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>of life rather.

3
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Than the loss of it. It is one of these true.

4
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Happenings which account for the fact that sailors, no matter

5
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>what nationality, are vastly more superstitious than land lovers. And

6
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>when one considers the extraordinary happening aboard the lure Lanes,

7
00:00:44.240 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>who can be so bold as to blame them?

8
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 3>Yea the friendly day to the leap.

9
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>It is Christmas Eve aboard the liner Lauuritania.

10
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Heavy seas and raging gales have buffeted the Ocean Greyhound

11
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>since she left Portsmouth, and now eight hours late, she

12
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>is still seventeen hours sail out of New York, driving

13
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>sleep worlds along.

14
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>The decks, the dismal glass of.

15
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>The siren cut through the fog but below Captain Morris

16
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in order to walkse at the disappointment of the passengers

17
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that not landing in time for Chris perceived dinner has ordered,

18
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the salon decorated and an appropriate dinner served. Dinner is

19
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>over and the Captain genial a trifle portlay. But every

20
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 1>inch the captain is entertaining a select group, including the

21
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>ship's senior officers at the much ended Captain's table.

22
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 4>I think you have slanders, Captain Morris.

23
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Why the somn must has been the stand for Christmas

24
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>activity from marks.

25
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>But most of the credit belongs to my very able

26
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>first officer, who is the genius who discovered that pawn

27
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>me and the pair of scissors can be used to

28
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>turn out a very presentable synthetic. Hollie and Mike, the

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I am orderous as you are, and I should beat

<v Speaker 2>my wote officers too.

36
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh now you're teasing. Tell me, though, Captain, in spite

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>to Captain White too, but not a wireless comfort, not radiobeacon.

43
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not Captain Morris's garden in the underseen world. Now

44
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>make whil it's Christmas Eve. It's a true story, and

45
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 1>the Captain tells us got a wheel.

46
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, please tell us, Captain Morris Well, I want you

47
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 4>to understand something.

48
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>All of you make here was chief on the Lawer

49
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Lane when.

50
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>This happened, mister Johnson, the first officer, the second officer

51
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>of the law Lane, and the same Benson, now a

52
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>present chief wireless operator, was also operator on the same ship,

53
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and he was a knight pretty much like this. Holding

54
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>gave untemous seas. Johnson's hands were numbed from hanging onto.

55
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 4>The tiring gord.

56
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.040

60
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>It's almost in a minute. I expect the wireless cabin

61
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to be brown. Curl off the back, Kaby, I better

62

<v Speaker 1>and what is their water bosses taken? That does not

146
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 1>go away with the fact that all the water lives

147
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>were saved by the war men and threw a band

148
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>down on the dialect.

149
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.759

<v Speaker 2>ship could have known of the position of.

151
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.240

156
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, any sort of explanation of an affair like that

157
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>would be welcome.

158
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>After you've heard from your sponsor, you will hear the

159
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Captain's explanation of the wireless mystery?

160
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Is this the day pass to.

161
00:09:32.879 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Not like the p uh ladies and gentlemen, the solution

162
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>for which you have been waiting.

163
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>In attempting an explanation of a thing like this, you

164
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>must make certain concessions, such as Captain Well and Watson,

165
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>for instance, hatched away from life without warning, without any

166
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>preparation for death, would in his spirit form, finds himself

167
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>in a realm where he would find it hard to

168
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>adjust himself.

169
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 4>In other words, Watson would still be handling after the

170
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 4>friends and associates he left behind.

171
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Him on earth, right, miss member, Since we know nothing

172
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>of the beyond, we must make certain surmises. And if

173
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>we accept the belief that consciousness lives on for eternity,

174
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>then Watson would be entirely aware of the life he

175
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>had so abruptly left, Watson would be in a realm

176
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 1>where time at nothing, yesterday, today, and tomorrow would.

177
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 2>All be one yes.

178
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>And in that realm of timeless things, Watson would see

179
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that derelict bearing down on us his friends. Who knows

180
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>what agony of mind he went through, trying in desperation

181
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to reach some mind in sympathy with his seeking some

182
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>way to warn us a danger impending.

183
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I have thought of it.

184
00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Imagine that disembodied spirits somewhere out there, moaning to itself

185
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and its anguished inability to warn us.

186
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I must warn them. I must.

187
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I've tried to get the minds in tune with mine.

188
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>If I could get short attention, that's an idea to

189
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 1>find the wireless operator, have the sleep of.

190
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 4>The key woman, who could tap out a warning you'd

191
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 4>never even know he'd done it. That's it, that's seat.

192
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 1>And so somewhere aboard a ship, a sleepy wireless operator

193
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>under the influence of Watson, taps out the warning message

194
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.159
<v Speaker 1>that saved the little lane and her crew leaving the

195
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 1>seas that.

196
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Realm of mysteries. Another unsolved mystery.

197
00:13:41.840 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 3>That the FDA doing the hot fass A
