060- A Shipment of Mute Fate -John Lund

Tired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? You want to get away from it all? We offer you escape, starring John Lund. Escape, designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

You are groping your way slowly through the dark hold of a ship at sea, moving carefully, step by step, searching intently for something you dread to find, because you know that this ship carries a cargo of death.

Today with John Lund in the role of Chris Warner, we escape to a harborfront in Venezuela, and grim voyage which started from there, as told by Martin Storm and his gripping tail, a shipment of mute fate.

I stopped on the wharf at the Guaira and looked up the gangplank toward the liner's chanquet, standing there quietly in her moorings. The day was warm under a bright tropic sun and the harbor beyond the ship lay drowsy and silent, but all at once, in the midst of those peaceful surroundings, a cold chill,

drippy. My shivered with sudden dread, dread of the thing I was doing, and was about to do. But too much had happened to turn back now. I'd gone too far to stop. I set the box down on the edge of the wharf, placed it carefully so as to be in plain sight and within gunshot of the captain's bridge. I knew what I was

going to do, but I couldn't forget that a certain pair of beady eyes were watching every move I made, eyes that never blinked and never closed, just watched and waited. I turned and started at the gangplank.
