"I shall have no more need of it. I am through with treasure-hunting." "I'd keep it a little longer, sar," answered Tom; "you never know." In Which I Catch a Glimpse of a Different Kind of Treasure.
And now, do you know why I did not go treasure-hunting?" "How should I know?" I answered him. He caught me suddenly into his arms. "Because, Bawn, my darling," he said, "the dead has come alive again."
"As for hostage," he continued, "that's his last talk, I guess, with them he loves so dear. I've got my piece o' news, and thanky to him for that; but it's over and done. I'll take him in a line when we go treasure-hunting, for we'll keep him like so much gold, in case of accidents, you mark, and in the meantime.

For the girls did not intend to give up their treasure-hunting trip by no means!
But in the forenoon watch Roger Hamlin came forward openly and told me certain things that were more momentous than any treasure-hunting trip to India that Blodgett ever dreamed of.

Our treasure-hunting was simply for the fun of the thrill of the chase, not at all that we wished harm to a soul in the world.
