Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and who disguise as far came, star reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle against crime and injustice.

Bound on around the world cruise, the Clara M, last of the old clipper ship, flipped silently southward to a heavy fog with Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen aboard. In our last episode, we heard how Kent and Jimmy solve the mystery of the Whistler when they discover the strange and earthly whistling was caused by the wind striking a set of wooden

pipes and sealed in the carved figurehead of the old ship. Shortly after this, they overheard a conversation between Teak Barnaby, Tag-leg the master of the Clara M, and the store-way boy, Pug Flanagan. This conversation convinced them that a piece of oil silk found in the secret compartment where Park Flanagan had been hiding was of great value.

The last story continues today. We find Kent and Jimmy huddled over a table in Kent's cabin, feverishly trying to discover the secret contained in the piece of oil silk. Listen. As soon as I wash the dirt off this part of the oil silk, what is it?

What is it, Mr. Kent? Jim. Made. Here. Have a look for yourself. Yeah, let me look at it. Gosh, I'm so excited. It looks like a map. It is a map, Jim. A treasure map.

Hey, Willa, Keith. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure. Look, outline here. Just follow my finger now. Yeah. Is the east coast of Africa, huh? Right here is the Red Sea separating Africa from Arabia. This is the Indian Ocean.
