“I guess that’s right,” agreed Fred. “It must be the one.”
“Certainly it is,” said John. “We wouldn’t have found two codes on this island unless the spot they referred to was here too.”
“Oh, that’s the rock all right,” said Grant confidently. “I wish we could start right down there now, but I suppose it would be foolish.”
“I think we’ve done enough for one day anyhow,” said John. “As long as we have solved the code we can’t have much to complain of for one day’s work.”
“You haven’t told us how you did it yet,” said George.

“Nor I,” added Fred. “Tell us how you did it.”
“How many letters are there in the alphabet?” asked Grant.
“Twenty-six,” said George.
