Poppy readily agreed. They hurried back to the Tobermory. A second dive could be fitted in the following day, but more equipment would have to be prepared and time would be needed to make plans.

“I still think there might be treasure down there,” said Ben to Poppy as they reached the Tobermory. “The Vikings were known for stealing gold goblets and things like that. They would have transported their loot in their boats.”

“And if a boat sank, the treasure sank with it,” said Poppy. “Is that what you’re saying, Ben?”

Ben nodded. “Exactly.”

Poppy was not so sure, but as a member of the diving team she would be among the first to find the treasure – if it were there. And even if it were not, it would still be interesting to see the wreck of a ship that had last sailed a thousand years ago. “This could be the biggest thing that’s ever happened on the Tobermory,” she said.

Ben agreed. They had enjoyed numerous adventures on their school ship, but this trip was turning out to be one of the most exciting voyages they had ever made.

At the same time, of course, the business with Badger was also making it one of the most troubling. Ben sighed. Badger’s note might have been the beginning of some kind of resolution, but there had been nothing more since then.

Now, as he came aboard the Tobermory, he saw Badger standing at the stern with Geoffrey Shark. Without thinking, Ben waved to Badger. The other boy saw him – Ben was in no doubt about that – but then turned away as if Ben were not there.
