Shipyards

K7, return. One adventurer, K7, from United States Secret Agent, who operated in 22 countries on land on sea and in the air,

brings you a story of today. Here is K7. With huge defensive rearmament programs getting into stride, shipyards have assumed a new importance in all of the great nations. Feels are being laid almost daily, and several great floating fortresses are under construction.

This activity has attracted many foreign spies. They seek information about the new ships, and particularly pictures of the shipyards and their location. This latter information would be of the utmost importance to bombing planes seeking to destroy the shipyards in the event of war.

Such is the background of the story which John Holbrook introduces. Thank you, K7. Our story begins near a great shipyard. It is near midnight as a small group of men work in darkness around an anti-aircraft sound detector, which has four great horn-like ears pointed toward the sky.

Nothing approaching from the north. No sound from north. Needlet zero. No sound from east. Needlet zero. No sound east. It's after 12 o'clock, Genele Tippage. It begins to look as if he wants to have a visit tonight.

They play and they're flown over as late as 2 a.m. Agent B9. We'll just have to wait. This mysterious plane. How many nights have you heard it overhead? Three. Although, of course, it may have gone over undetected before.

Sentries might have mistaken it for a commercial plane off its regular route. Wait, General. The sound detector has picked up something. Direction south, southeast. Direction south, southeast. They picked the plane up Agent B9. Cruise, hand by searchlights.

Your glass is ready for use B9. I'm ready. Searchlights on. The west to turn back. They've seen our lights. It'll be out of sight in another minute. Did you get a look at him? Only briefly.
