We’ll have that chest to the top in no time.

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.
