"I can go," shouted Sammy.
"That's fine!"
"And we'll get that pirate gold!" added Frank, with a grin as he came out of his house to give the good news that he, too, could go.
"We'll, if we don't, we'll have fun anyhow," said Bob, who never had much faith in the wild plans of Sammy Brown.
"Oh, we'll get it!" declared Sammy. "All we need to do is to discover the right place and dig."
"Yes, discover it the way you discovered the treasure on Eagle Mountain!" laughed Bob.
"Oh, well, something came of that!" declared Sammy, in some confusion.
"Yes, something," admitted Bob, "but not what you expected. Now let's begin packing."
It was some days yet before the journey to Lighthouse Cove would be made, but the boys were so eager that they began to get ready at once.
Finally they did start. It was half a day's journey from Fairview to the seashore, and Lighthouse Cove was reached about three o'clock in the afternoon.
