Well, as soon as Jibby Jones got the map, we went down to the lower end of the island, and we saw the Tough Customer's shanty-boat floating out of the slough and on down the river, and then we went back.
Orpheus Cadwallader and Wampus's Uncle Oscar went back to the cottages, and we boys began looking for dead fish where we had left off, and as we looked we talked about the Tough Customer and the Rat and the land pirate's treasure. We did not study the map then, because it was soaking wet. Jibby Jones pinned it inside his hat, so it could dry out there.
