“Let’s give five thousand to the Boy Scout drive,” I said.

Now when we got to Skeleton Cove we saw it was all shady and spooky, like. The water was black and the place was dark just like a cave. It was awful still in there. I bet you’re crazy to know what comes next, hey?
Over against the shore was the wreck of an old motor-boat; I guess it got smashed by the rocks there. We chugged over to where it was and Tom Slade climbed out and stepped across it.
Harry said, “What do you think it means, Tommy boy?”
Tom was kneeling on the old deck and looking over the edge. All of a sudden he said, “Now I know; I was a fool not to think of it before. The name of this boat is the Treasure.”
Harry said, “What?”
I said, “What?”
Will Dawson shouted, “On the level?”
“On the bow,” Tom said.
