What happens
Martin Evans and his wife Claire go on a fishing trip out of San Pedro with Captain Moran and a young deckhand, Ignacio, bound for Catalina. Martin feels uneasy about the captain, whose behavior seems off and who seems to recognize him. Claire is unwell and stays below for much of the trip, while Martin is left on deck with his fishing gear. Over the course of the day the boat drifts in dense fog, and Martin begins to realize that something is badly wrong on board. The episode is a Suspense play, broadcast on September 14, 1950, starring Dan Daily.
A fishing boat, the Pelican, leaving San Pedro harbor for Catalina Island, and later drifting in thick fog in the Catalina Channel.
Characters: Martin Evans, Claire Evans, Captain Moran, Ignacio, Lou Barris, Bob Warren
Listen for: Martin's growing suspicion of Captain Moran and the fog-bound boat, and the sound of the engine and the fishing lines.
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.
