The searchers gathered about the chest that had been pulled out of the heap of rubbish. It was ironbound and made of heavy planking. "It gets me!" murmured the officer. Just then the sound started again: "Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" "It don't come from that box!" declared one man. Whistler stooped and put his hand on the cover. "Wait!" he said suddenly. "Just feel this, sir."

Against the desire of his dead comrade, Collingwood carried into practice his own sound and masterful judgment not to anchor either his conquests or any of his own vessels on a lee ironbound shore.
He had been responsible for the starting of the matter, and he proceeded now to carry it on till it blazed up into the biggest thing of its kind ever known at Wrykyn the Great Picnic. Any one who knows the public schools, their ironbound conservatism, and, as a whole, intense respect for order and authority, will appreciate the magnitude of his feat, even though he may not approve of it.
