“You can search me!” Alex replied.
“They’re on the water!” insisted Jule. “Can’t you see the blue gleam shining on the waves?”
“Wherever they are,” Clay said, “I’m going down and investigate.”
“That’s a good idea,” said Alex. “We’ll go down and see what the ghost of the Mary Ann has to say for himself.”
“I was thinking of taking Captain Joe for company,” Clay laughed.
“All right,” Alex grinned, “go on with Captain Joe if you want to.”
“I’m afraid two will make too much noise making their way through the thickets,” Clay said thoughtfully.
“How are you going to get ashore?” asked Alex, briefly.
“I’m going to pole the Rambler up close enough so I can jump,” was the answer.
“I guess you can do that all right,” Case cut in. “This water seems to me to be about fifty feet deep.”
