What happens
On the Magic Island, Captain Tex Bradford and Jerry Hall are trying to learn what has become of Johnson, whose boat was meant to reach the Gregory party. Mrs. Gregory and Joan wait aboard the yacht while the two men examine the island's reflectors and the scientists' claims. The homing pigeon carrying Captain Bradford's formula has been sent out through the magnetic fog ring, and its progress is the main concern. Doubts grow about what the reflectors actually showed the men and whether the message can be trusted. This is Magic Island, episode 020, from the series of that name. The transcript does not give an air date or the cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
