"What kind of trees are they?" Captain Ole asked Mr. Lakewood in a low tone.
"I'm not sure but I think they're a species of a cocoanut," he replied.
"But I've seen lots of cocoanut trees and I never saw any like them," the captain objected.
"Nor I, but it seems to me I can see some big nuts on that nearest one," he said pointing to a large tree which stood a little apart from the others.
"I can see them," Bob agreed with him.
"And they sure do look like cocoanuts to me," Jack added.
"Well, you may be right, and I reckon you are," the captain gave in.
"What we going to do now?" Bob asked after a moment's pause.
"Have you got your revolvers with you," their uncle asked.
"Sure," Bob replied pulling the weapon from his pocket.
