The Secret of Pirates' Hill
The Secret of Pirates' Hill
“B. Smedick, B. H.!”
“Right,” said the police chief. “What do you think B. H. stands for?”
“I’m sure that it means Bayport Hotel,” Frank replied, “because we talked to a person there by that name.”
“What! Well, then, maybe you can tell us where Smedick is now. He checked out.”
Frank, amazed to hear this, said he had no idea. “Joe and I are supposed to meet him tomorrow afternoon along the shore. He probably won’t show up. But if he does, I’ll try to find out if he knows where Guinness is.”
“Do that,” said Chief Collig and hung up.
As soon as Frank replaced the phone in its cradle, he rushed to tell Joe, his mother, and Aunt Gertrude the news.
“It sounds to me,” Aunt Gertrude commented, her jaw set firmly, “as if everybody connected with this Pirates’ Hill mystery is a criminal.”
“You could be right. At this point I’m beginning to think Joe’s suspicions about Gorman might be justified,” Frank remarked.
Joe gave a knowing grin. “I thought you’d agree sooner or later.”
