This Week’s Program: The Quality of Courage
Dear Friends,
Here we go with this week’s
“Living Book for the Ears” program…
Imagine…
The Revolutionary War is brewing, and
Boston harbor is filled with British war vessels
blockading our ports.
Your assignment is to climb into a small,
suffocating barrel, in which you can barely see,
move or breathe…
And then, submerged in that barrel,
under the water and completely alone,
you must paddle against the current of the tides…
and attempt to come right up beside the enemy ships
unseen, in an effort to sink them.
Only –
your air is running out,
the ocean is leaking in,
and the bomb you are carrying is just about
to go off…
Talk about harrowing!
That’s the setup in this TRUE story of an
amazing Revolutionary War inventor and his
creation, the very first “submarine” vehicle.
…and enjoy!
