Will looked upwards and shouted. “I’ve grabbed a bush, but I can’t climb up! It might break any minute. Go to my house and tell my father! He’ll know what to do.” “I’ll go,” Amy called down. “I’m the fastest.” ~ Halfway to Smugglers Cove, Amy stopped for a moment to rest. Remembering the empty rowboat, she turned around and looked towards the beach. Her face broke into a smile. She could see Joe sitting by the boat. Thankful that he was okay, she was about to continue when she spotted someone else. Hidden by the bend of the beach, two men were walking in Joe’s direction. They couldn’t see him at the moment as an outcropping of rocks acted as a wall between the two sides of the beach. By the way they were searching every nook and cranny of the cliffs, Amy realised that they were searching for something. She figured Joe had two minutes to escape.

They trooped downstairs and met the others. “Any luck?” Joe asked. “No, maybe they’re hiding the goods in the cellar,” Will replied. “But Joe and I didn’t see any sign of steps leading to one,” Sarah said. “Listen!” Amy exclaimed. “I hear the gate opening again. The car must be coming back.” “Good,” Will said. “That fellow ought to come back inside, and when he does, we can follow him. He might lead us to the others.” “Let’s hide behind the stairs so he doesn’t see us when he comes in,” Joe suggested. The group hurried around to the back of the crumbling marble structure and waited. A minute later, they heard the front door open. Footsteps echoed down the hallway. Motioning for the others to follow him, Joe edged along the wall until he came to the corner of the hallway and peered around it. The man was nowhere to be seen, but they could hear distant voices up ahead. Joe looked over his shoulder to see where the others were. They were right behind him. “Let’s”
