the fire had been renewed, and soon the appetizing odor of broiling fish filled the air. Then Captain Sanders and one of the castaway sailors came in from a walk in another direction, carrying an airtight canister, which, on being opened, was found to contain fancy crackers.
"There is a good deal of wreckage down on the beach," said the captain. "We'll inspect it after breakfast."
Having eaten their fill of the fish and the crackers, and leaving Billy Dill and some of the others busy making turtle soup, the boys and Captain Sanders took another walk along the beach, to look over the wreckage and also see if they could sight the Golden Eagle, or locate Jasniff or Merwell.
"I hope we can find those two fellows," said Dave. "I can stand this suspense no longer. I must know what has become of those jewels!"
