Game Hunt

And now, tonight's presentation of Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills, Suspents. Tonight, we bring you a story of courage on a safari in Africa. We call it Game Hunt. So now, starring Raymond Lawrence, here is tonight's Suspents Play, Game Hunt.

What on the head, will you, Charlie? See how much father this bush stretches. Yes, why not? You and I'll keep on, Mr. Babson, but more slowly. Seems to me it's been too slow up to now.

It hasn't been, Mr. Babson. You leave the pace to me. The day had begun much the same as other mornings on the safari. They had left their base camp deep in the Kenya country before a cloudy dawn broke.

Babson, an American businessman, are across a professional hunter, And a semi-educated native tracker whose unpronounceable massai name had been simplified to Charlie. During the weeks behind them there had been no vital call on courage.

The game had been fleet of hoof rather than dangerous, and many hides and trophy heads had been gathered without undue incident. But inevitably a safari such as theirs enters a period when moments of peril will be met.

It is the hope of the professional hunter that by this time all the killings of harmless animals will have prepared the amateur for the dangerous game. Assured him of his own power, tightened his reflexes so that he will operate correctly in a carland.

Often times it works that way. Our cross, Babson and Charlie entered this hazardous phase when they started after lion. Wait, here comes Charlie. Well? He's not far by beating on Zebra and clearing. He's an ancient one and he carries a great black man.
