Oh, my, my! cackled Lance Darby as he slid into a seat in Chet's boat that Josephine Morse had been about to take.

Awful accident on the Lake! Terrible Catastrophe While Boating on Luna! Lady had Her Eye on a Seat and a Gent Sat on It! My, my!
human
You needn't think you're so smart, returned Jess.
gpt
Now you're there, you can row--both you and Chet. Laura and I will sit here in the stern and watch you both work. Work is good for boys, anyway.
human
Yes, growled Chet.
gpt
It's like what they say about the fleas on dogs. A certain number of fleas are good for a dog; helps him keep his mind off the fact that he _is_ a dog!
human
We're going right to Boulder Head, aren't we?
gpt
Is that where the treasure is buried?
human
It's somewhere around there; or in the caves. You folks can laugh, said Billy,
gpt
In a lard kettle,
human
In a lard can, corrected Billy,
gpt
Maybe when the man you said was hanging around so long disappeared, he took the treasure with him,
human
And I bet I know who the two men were whom Billy heard quarreling over a lard can,
gpt
You know, do you? demanded Billy.
human
Well, who were they?
gpt
Tony Allegretto and the man the police found him fighting with,
human
Great Scott! gasped Chetwood Belding.
gpt
Do you hear that, Lance?
human
Never thought of 'em!
gpt
Buried treasure, too! said Chet, thoughtfully.
human
Tony said they were quarreling over money.
gpt
There is something that needs looking into about Tony Allegretto, declared Mother Wit, seriously.
human
Don't you think so, Chet?
gpt
It might be well to find out what the money was, and where they got it to quarrel over,
human
Pirate gold, of course! laughed Bobby Hargrew, from another boat.
gpt
Don't spoil all the romance of this treasure hunt by suggesting that the buried loot is merely the proceeds of the sale of a banana stand that the two Italians owned in partnership.
