As soon as Gwen began to feel a little happier, Richard started to talk about the chest. As a matter of fact, Gwen was just as curious about it as the others were. “I think,” said Richard, “we might have one last try to get it up.” “Yes!” agreed Polly. “I’m sure it’s full of money.” “But how?” Gwen asked. “We might dive for it,” Richard suggested. “Don’t talk to me of diying,” cried Gwen, “I’ve had quite enough of that.”
Gwen and Richard were getting quite angry over the question of diving for the chest, when Ted came forward with a brilliant suggestion. “You’ve given me an idea,” he said. “You know we tried to hook it with lines. Well, why not dive down and fix the hook in it? Richard likes the water. I’m sure he could do it.” “Jolly good idea, Ted,” cried Gwen, who certainly did not' mind Richard getting half drowned! “Yes, and I’ll do it, too,’’ Richard boasted.
