Transcript

All aboard for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrot, that thrilling story of the days of the Whalers and Adventure on the high seas. This is the story of Johnny Robbins and Sue Grange, a boy and girl who sail away on the Good Ship Paul Parrot, on the Whaling Crews that turned out to be a search for a diamond

mine. With them are Captain Dalton, Master of the Ship and Old Dickon, the one-legged sailor who takes care of the ship's mascot, Paul Parrot himself. Regrange, Sue's brother, who as the owner of the ship, is the man who is responsible for the treasure hunt and other members of the crew. As we pick up the threat of adventure,

it is the year 1860. The Paul Parrot is heading homeward and has stopped for water and provisions at the lonely group of islands called Tristan da Kunja in the South Atlantic. Johnny, Sue, Dickon, Captain Dalton, Ezra Grange and several of the crew have just come ashore on the beach of Tristan, the main island of the group, and are standing on the beach looking toward

the tiny settlement. This is the most beautiful island I've ever seen. All that gigantic mountain that rises out of the center. Why that looks like snow on the top. Eyelad and snow it is. It's a monster mountain for sure.

Like she's almost eight thousand feet high. Oh, those are the cutest little houses down there. I'm surprised anyone would live so far away from anything else in the world. I lass it's about the lonesome as settlement in the world, alright?

Ships don't often call here, and after all, the whole island's only 20 square miles, and it's 1,500 miles away from the nearest settlement. Look, Captain, here comes some of the inhabitants out to meet us.
