PL Notes for Ch. 18:

Areas of flattened signal, possible clipping:
1:23.0--1:25.0
16:12.4--16:14.7
I can't honestly say I hear any distortion myself, but the signal looks clipped to me when I look at it in Audacity.

00:45.4 "carried us out of Marseilles", the word "of" is read as "from"

02:21.4 "It's open for two half-hours a day week-days", the word "and" is inserted between the words "two" and "half-hours"

03:46.7 "But it's absurd", the word "But" is either omitted or voiced too softly to hear

05:26.3 "a sick wife left behind here", the word "a" is read as "the"

06:08.8 "by forcing on him forbidden Mussulman food", the word "on" is omitted

06:17.7 "the godless one drew his Afghan knife", the word "drew" is read as "threw"

10:35.4 "far and far to the south", the word "and" is omitted

12:17.5 "he bought a devil in a box" is read as "he brought in a devil in a box"

12:36.1 "suppose that your son had brought a devil in a box to your village", the words "devil in a box to your" are read as "devil-box into your"

12:40.8 "they explained to him at last that under British rule", the word "rule" is read as "law"

13:56.8 "to know exactly what there might be in her", the word "there" is omitted

14:19.2 "was about five foot clearance on each side for the P. & O.", the word "for" is read as "on"

15:49.8 "close to their own cabins", the word "own" is omitted

I'm sorry, the return from Sri Lanka then Christmas and then all the busyness of summer and a new year caused this to get overlooked

I have started the corrections, there seem to be a lot in these chapters, maybe I was reading in a hurry - I'll try to be more accurate in the next ones

Uploading corrected chapter 18 next...

tim bulkeley · Post by **tim bulkeley** » May 7th, 2013, 9:28 pm

I've corrected and am uploading the other chapters. I think the areas of possible clipping are where I raise my voice to imitate shouting and the like, so if there is a little distortion (and like you I can't actually hear any) it is probably OK... Rereading those sections could be difficult to match in to the rest if I was quieter, I think...

Chapter 20. This got overlooked in the corrections:

7:06.4 "So did the bloodless face of a very old Turk" is read as "As did the bloodless face of every Turk"

Aagh! I was sure I remembered doing that one, but (assuming my slight cough this morning has not changed my voice too much) I'll do it now!

At long last the project is nearing completion, I am sorry it has taken longer than I expected.
