At church, Mrs Thatcher talked to Mrs Harper and found out that Becky had not slept there last night. Where was she? Then Aunt Polly said Tom had not come home either. They asked if anybody had seen them on the boat. Nobody could remember.
"They must still be in the caves!" said somebody.
A large group of men went to the caves to search for the two children. They searched all day. They searched for three days, but they did not find Tom or Becky. Where could they be?
At the picnic, Tom and Becky went into the caves with the other children. They took their candles and walked down a small tunnel. Then Tom saw a small opening he had never seen before. He decided to explore. Becky came with him. They made some marks on the wall. This would help them find their way back. They found a large cave with a spring in it. There were a lot of bats hanging on the roof. The bats did not like the candlelight and attacked the children. Tom and Becky ran. They did not watch where they were going. They escaped from the bats and found a lake. They sat down to rest.
"We haven't heard the other children for a long time," said Becky.
"We'd better go back," suggested Tom.
They tried to find a way back without going through the cave with bats. They were soon lost. They didn't know how to get back. They began to shout. Nobody answered.
