At last, much to Richard’s astonishment, Gwen came forward with a suggestion. “When you were fishing, you hooked it once,” she said. “Why not see if we can hook it again in the same way?” “Why! of course,” laughed Polly. “Fancy none of us thinking of it before.” “Bravo, Gwen!” said Richard. “It’s the very thing! We’ll have that chest to the top in no time.
The chums boarded the raft again, and paddled to the spot where the chest was lying. Of course Richard took charge of operations. He had decided that Gwen should fish at one end, while he fished at the other. “It will give us two chances,” he said, “and the one who hooks the chest can call out. Then all of us will help to pull it up.” “Is that all correct?” he asked. “Carry on,” urged Polly.
