It was probably because Richard made the most noise that both Polly and Ted thought they ought to assist him, leaving Gwen to do the best she could for herself. Anyway, Ted helped Richard to pull in his line, while Polly peered anxiously over the edge to see what he had caught. They were so intent that they did not notice that Gwen had disappeared. Now I wonder where she has gone? Richard, Polly and Ted seemed quite surprised when Gwen suddenly appeared from the water at their end of the raft. It took some time to discover what had happened. But it was very simple. Richard’s line had caught Gwen’s and, of course, when Ted and Richard pulled, they dragged poor Gwen into the water and right under the raft. She was angry. “I’ve had enough of this,” she cried. “If you want to get the chest, you’ll have to think of some other way.” I wonder what they will think of next?
