03Johnny Is Captured By El Teste

All aboard for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrot. That thrilling, exciting story of the sea.

To refresh your memory with what has happened before, Captain Roy Dalton, who has just received his master's papers and his good friend George Wainwright, have signed on as skipper and first mate of the whaling ship, Paul Parrot, owned by Grange and Sons, an outstanding shipping company of New Bedford, Massachusetts.

The ship sails in one day, but in the last couple of days Dalton and Wainwright have been been followed by a mysterious Spaniard named Altesti, an agent for another shipping concern down the wharf a bit. They discovered him yesterday spying on them as they were talking to Old Man Breckenridge, shipkeeper for Grange and sons, and Sue, sister of Azirah Grange,

one of the ship's owners. At the present time, Dalton and his first mate are searching through the town of New Bedford for Altesti's house. I mate, I hope we're on the right trail. Blow me down, Georgie, for not. I'll try new trails until I find them. He's up to some Some devilishness, or he wouldn't have followed us yesterday, when we were talking to shipkeeper

Breckenridge. Well, if we don't lay hands on him soon, there's no telling when he'll be lurking around some dark corner shooting at you like he did on the war for swab. If I didn't know that the de Silva Company were fair friends of the Granges, I'd think that he was just operating as their agent to hinder our whaling voyage.

But the two companies have always been on pretty good terms, so he must be under his own sale when he sneaks around and spies on us. I don't know, I've been telling you that I sent more than a wail and cruise on this ship, haven't I?
