"It's nailed tight shut all around," Bunny said, as he looked on all four sides. "Ain't there a cover that you can put back like on a trunk?" Sue wanted to know. "No, there ain't," answered Harry, "for if there was the hinges would show  they always do." IT'S NAILED TIGHT SHUT ALL AROUND BUNNY SAID AS HE LOOKED ON ALL FOUR SIDES AIN'T THERE A COVER THAT YOU CAN PUT BACK LIKE ON A TRUNK SHE WANT YOU DON'T KNOW THERE AIN'T ANSWERED HARRY OR IF THERE WAS HINGES WOULD SHOW THEY ALWAYS DO
they happen to come ashore?" asked Mrs. Slater. "A ship that was coming from China got wrecked," explained Sue, "and the boxes with the dolls in washed up on shore. But I guess this isn't a doll box," she added. "It doesn't look so," said Harry's mother. "It seems to be a very heavy case, such as machinery comes in, but of course there can't be machinery in it, or it would sink." "And there can't be a dog in it, or he'd smother," added Sue, "'cause the cover is nailed on tight." The box was near the point of land now, and Bunny and Harry were wading out to get it. Mrs. Slater and Sue could see that the box was a square one, about three feet long, and as many high and wide. And there was a cover on it. "Catch hold now!" cried Bunny to Harry, and the two boys took hold of the sides of the box and easily guided it up to the beach. It soon grounded in the shallow water, but it was so heavy that when Bunny and Harry had got it to the shore of the point of land they could move it no farther. AD TO MAKE BELIEVE SHE WAS ASLEEP HOW DID THEY HAPPEN TO COME ASHORE ASKED MISSUS SLATER A SHIP THAT WAS COMING FROM CHINA GOT WRECKED EXPLAINED SUE AND THE BOXES WITH THE DOLLS IN WASHED UP ON SHORE BUT I GUESS THIS ISN'T A DOLL BOX SHE ADDED IT DOESN'T LOOK SO SAID HARRY'S MOTHER IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY HEAVY CASE SUCH AS MACHINERY COMES IN BUT OF COURSE THERE CAN'T BE MACHINERY IN IT OR IT WOULD SINK AND THERE CAN'T BE A DOG IN IT OR HE'D SMOTHER ADDED SUE CAUSE THE COVER IS NAILED ON TIGHT THE BOX WAS NEAR THE POINT OF LAND NOW AND BUNNY AND HARRY WERE WAITING OUT TO GET IT MISS LADDERAN TOO COULD SEE THAT THE BOX WAS A SQUARE ONE ABOUT THREE FEET LONG AND AS MANY HIGH AND WIDE AND THERE WAS A COVER ON IT CATCH HOLD NOW CRIED BUNNY TO HARRY WHEN THE TWO BOYS TOOK HOLD OF THE SIDES OF THE BOX AND EASILY GUIDED IT UP TO THE BEACH IT SOON GROUNDED IN THE SHALLOW WATER BUT IT WAS SO HEAVY THAT WHEN BUNNY AND HARRY HAD GOT IT TO THE SHORE OF THE POINT OF LAND THEY COULD MOVE IT NO FURTHER
