About this book

Torn trousers and worn boots give Doctor Burnet plenty to complain about when his son Vince returns from his outdoor exploits. Growing up beside cliffs, caves and fishermen's cottages, Vince would rather explore the coast with his friend Mike Ladelle than face the prospect of being sent away to school. George Manville Fenn begins this children's adventure with affectionate family arguments, a mother's mending and a boy eager to defend his freedom.

The coastal playground becomes more troubling when the friends discover a cave containing what Mike regards as treasure. Vince wonders whether they should tell their fathers, while Mike argues that the hidden goods belong to his family. Their disagreement brings questions of honesty and ownership into a story of smuggling and exploration.
