Australian adventurer Andrew McAuley had long been preparing for his trip across the Tasman Sea, a dangerous stretch of water between Australia and New Zealand.

Determined to become the first solo kayaker to make the 1,000-mile journey, he didn't let his first failed attempt stop him from pursuing his goal.

And on January 11, 2007, the 38-year-old felt ready to try again.

Recording his trip as he went, McAuley's enthusiasm waned as the days passed, and he grew tired, but his determination did not fade. "When I get older, I'll look back and I'll be stoked. I'll be stoked, stoked, stoked that I did it but... it's hard. It's hard going," he said in one video.

But then, on February 9, 2007, the New Zealand Coast Guard received a call from McAuley that was obscured by static.

They couldn't make out the message, but they figured it was one of the regular check-ins he'd made during the trip. It wasn't until later, when McAuley didn't arrive in New Zealand as planned, that the message was deciphered:

"Do you copy? This is kayak one. Do you copy, over? I've got an emergency situation. I'm in a kayak about 30 km from Milford Sound. I need a rescue. My kayak's sinking. Fell off into the sea and I'm going down."

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.

The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name Madeline. She carried her transmitter from safe house to safe house with the Gestapo trailing her, providing communications for her Resistance unit.

Wireless operators in France had a life expectancy of six weeks. Noor was actively transmitting for over three times as long.

While she was in France, every other wireless operator in her network was slowly picked off until she was the last radio link between London and Paris. It was "the most dangerous and important post in France."

She was offered a way back to Britain and refused.

In fact, in her transmissions to London, she once said that she was having the time of her life, and thanked them for giving her the opportunity to do this.

She was captured by the Gestapo, but never gave up; she made three attempts at escape. One involved asking to take a bath, insisting on being allowed to close the door to preserve her modesty, and then clambering onto the roof of the Gestapo HQ in Paris.

Her last word before being shot was, "Liberté!"

@MurraysMusing Very impressive well done Jane.

This is absolutely appalling. I hope the police find this man and he is punished severely.

We do not have a democracy when people are threatened and silenced by Islamist mobs.

The government must call it out for what it is and show the public that they take the very real threat of Islamic extremism seriously before someone is killed.

Death threats ruin lives. They make simple things like leaving the house an ordeal.

Electoral candidates should not face this level of intimidation. We must be brave and stand up to those who behave in this way.

The uncomfortable truth is that we have imported into this country a number of religious extremists, who hate Britain and, if not stopped, will destroy our country.

We cannot let fear win.

We must not be silent.
