"Let us go in search of the sunken treasure, dad. It certainly belongs to us."
"Of course it does, Bart. Yes, if this news is true, I will go after the missing million."
"But you will have to take expert divers along, and all that sort of thing."
"I can do that easily. I own stock in the San Francisco Wrecking Company, and it will not be difficult for me to charter one of their vessels, along with all the latest appliances for raising valuables from the ocean's depths."
"Then wouldn't it be advisable for us to start at once?"
"I must find out the particulars of this matter first."
"How will you do that?"
"The easiest way will be to make a trip to Washington."
"Then you had better go to-night."
"I will," answered Lemuel Hankers.
