- Rocky, what happens if we don't find them? They might kill you.
- Yeah. I was thinking that was a possibility too.
- That little barrel that Mr. Abenaki's oysters came in. It was right by this stool.
- Maybe the pearls dropped in it.
- Of course. They pick it up at night and take it back to the oyster boat.
- Can you find out which boat?
- I know. I sign the receipt every day. It's the Polly B at Pier 22.
- Rocky, do you think the pearls could still be in the barrel?
- Well, I got a hasty feeling I'd better find out.
- Anyway, if Abenaki's oysters came from that boat, then so do the pearls.
