The Secret Panel (2010)
The Secret Panel
“Several possibilities raced through Frank’s mind. Had his head butted into a submerged piling? Did he have a stomach cramp?
“Joe! Joe!” Frank called out again. No reply. He kicked off his shoes and was about to dive after his brother when he heard a whistling-spluttering noise from inside the boathouse. Joe had popped to the surface and let out a chestful of pent-up air. Then he called out: “Frank! I’m okay. Got tangled up in a piece of old cable.”
“Oh boy! You had me scared for a minute.”
“Sor...ry about that.” A few seconds passed, then Joe reported, “The dory’s not here. But I’ll look around a bit more.”
“Good idea.” Frank waited, hoping no one would appear to ask what they were doing there. Presently Joe returned and climbed aboard the Sleuth. As he dried himself and put on his clothes, Frank asked him what he had seen.
Joe related that there was no boat of any kind inside the building. He had, however, spotted a valuable piece of evidence.
