Good fella, come on then. Come on good dog, good boy.

Dont worry about him. Hello! Hes the friendliest dog in the world.

Oh yes, come in, Mums waiting.

Mum! Mum!

George, not so loud!

Oh, hello. Mrs. Stick?

Yes.

Come in, well have a few minutes peace before the other children arrive.

Other children?

Yes, my niece and nephews are coming for the holidays.

I didn't tell you about that, did I?

No.

Whats the matter with you, Timmy? Got out of bed the wrong side this morning?

Hey! Catch, Tim!

Thats a nice little boat you got there.

Im sorry, did I startle you? lm Mrs. Stick, I drove the wife out here.

Oh yes.

Im fond of boats, you know. Do you mind if I have a closer look?

No, not at all.

We have to go up north. My husbands mother was suddenly been taken ill.

We thought wed take the gardener with us to tidy up her place a bit.

Well probably be gone for about a week but

it may not be as long as that.

These are all very good references, Mrs. Stick.

So I think you could start at once.

Yes, thank you. I can start right away.

And don't you worry, Mrs. Kirrin, just you leave everything to me!

She's lovely. Is she a good sea boat?

Yes, had her in Force Four.

Have you now?

Coming back from the island!

Would you believe it? A little craft like this.

Ah, heres the Missus! Well, well be seeing you, I hope!

Timmy.

Well?

Were in and we start now.

And theres a boat too.

Yes. Look, I don't know how long theyll be away, so well have to hurry.

Quick, and hurry up or youll be late.

Park the car round the side out of the way.

Right!

They are here!

Hello George! - Hello!

Theres the old car. Hello, Mr. Rogers! Bet youre glad to see us!

Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside.

Oh, I do like to be beside the sea.

Oh, I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom.

Where the brass band plays tiddly-on-pom-pom.

Stop!

Look!

What is it?

Someones on my island.

I thought we agreed it was our island?

Oh never mind that now. When we get back III take my boat

and we can have a look.

Its probably a steamer sailing past, well see in a minute.

Oh we havent got time, they're expecting us back home.

Theyre waiting to go. Come on.

Oh thank goodness. There they are.

Where, now where, were you?

I was waiting for you.

Hi Uncle Quentin!

Hello there.

Rogers, could you load the car please.

Well, I havent finished unloading it yet.

Ah, there they are!

Hello children.

Hello! Hello Aunt Fanny!

Im sorry weve got to leave you so soon, but its absolutely necessary.

Yes we know.

This is Mrs. Stick. Shes going to be looking after you.

And these are the children.

Im sure well get along famously.

Are we leaving or arent we leaving? Come on.

Oh, Im coming Quentin! Coming!

Take care, children. Show Mrs. Stick where everything is, wont you?

Give Gran my love!

Take care.

Take care, children.

Bye bye Dad.

What a terrible start to a holiday!

O come on, George, its only for a few days.

Hey!

What are you doing?

What does it look like Im doing?

Who are you?

Get down!

Timmy!

Edgafl

Ma, hes trying to bite me!

Come down, son, its all right.

That dogs obviously vicious! I want him locked up!

Timmys never been vicious in his life! He threw an apple at him!

Me? I didn't.

Now don't you tell lies to me!

George doesn't tell lies!

And he was trying to steal our apples!

I don't want to hear any more about it. Until that dog learns to behave himself,

he certainly wont stay around here!

Oh yes, he will.

Who is that woman that she can tell us what to do? Timmys not vicious!

No, but you are!

What are you doing in there?

Georgie, Porgie, pudding and pie,

wait till you dog goes, then you will cry.

Mas sending him to the village today.

Thats fathers study! Were not allowed in there!

Iam!

Weve got to get rid of them somehow.

Dont start anything, George. Your parents have left that woman in charge.

I don't care what you say, Ive got to do something!

Okay. Well let Timmy out. Tonight!

It's gone.

Its no good. Shes probably hidden it.

Well, I don't see why Timmy has to go and stay in the village at all!

This is his home! If he goes, I go too.

Whats that?

Thats my boat! Someones stealing my boat!

Hey, George. Wait!

What are you doing to my boat?

I was just going to take it down to the beach for you, save you the trouble.

At this time of night!

Look, cant you shut that thing up?

That dog, itll wake the whole village!

Well he does happen to be locked up in his own home!

Oh, all right, let him out then!

Come on, Timmy!

Why couldnt you be quieter? Waking the old household.

It was that dog, who was Ito know he was going to kick up that racket!

And what did you set him free for?

He wont be any trouble, he wont be here tomorrow.

Nothing we cant take care of.

George, you cant get this boat down to the beach on your own!

Just watch me! Im going on to the island, at least til Mother and Dad come back.

Idiot!

Why?

Dyou think wed let you run away?

We don't like it with those Sticks either.

III tell the others and well all leave, in the morning!

Great!

At least that dogs stopped barking. Those kids up yet?

Yeah, Ive seen them around.

Theyre very quiet. I wonder what they're up to?

I think theres something funny about those Sticks.

Maybe you should have rung your parents and told them.

Told them what? That they don't like dogs and we don't like them?

Yeah, it would only worry them.

No, this is the best way. And Im not going back there until Mum and Dad do!

Oh, I never thought wed see land again!

Were free! Were free!

Come on, you two, give us a hand to push.

The first job is to make a fire!

Here, someone's already made one.

These ashes are warm! Someones been here recently.

What a check! Trippers!

Remember that smoke we saw yesterday!

Well if another tripper sets foot on my island again, III set Timmy on them!

Does that include us?

No!

We might as well camp by the castle tonight! Its good shelter!

Look, these are boat marks.

What about it?

Well the tide was up here when we arrived so they must have been made last night.

Why would anyone want to come here in the middle of the night?

We could try and find out.

How do we do that?

These footsteps must lead somewhere.

Well, I don't think we should, its none of our business.

It is our business! Its my island!

Look, clothes.

Isnt this prison uniform?

Food, clothes, thats it! Theres an escaped convict on the island!

Oh I don't like this, lets get away from here!

No! Lets stay and hide to see whats happening.

One of us can always go for help!

Whats up, George?

Its my flask. Look, its got my school number on it.

Dyou think he robbed our house?

Can we now go for help?

Okay. Just one of us. The rest of you stay here

and see he doesn't leave the island.

III go!

No, don't be stupid. I will!

Look, its my flask, my boat and I can row best. Come on, Timmy.

Dick, put the shirt back.

Well, shall we find a lookout.

I could help her!

Dont worry, Anne, youll be perfectly safe with us.

Its gone! Its gone, Timmy, our boats gone!

Oh its no good! Weve been here hours. Its just a waste of time.

Well, lets go back.

Oh don't be stupid. George has got the boat. We cant paddle back!

Theres someone in the bushes down there. Ive seen movement several times.

Lets go to those trees up there. Hell think were going, we can watch from there!

Someones stolen my boat.

What?

You don't think it floated away on a high tide, do you?

Im not that stupid you know.

That means we cant get off the island. Were stuck here.

And theres that man down there.

What, the convict?

Julian thinks hes seen him.

Thinks! I have seen him.

When Mum and Dad get home, we can signal with alight.

They wont be back for ages yet! Weve got to do something better than that.

Lets build a raft!

Great! Yeah!

Would it be safe enough?

For one person. Right George, it was you idea. Whats the next part of the plan?

Well, well need plenty of drift wood.

There are some old planks and ropes up by the castle,

from where your Dad last worked there.

Okay, well split up. George and Dick, you push off and get as much as you can.

Anne, you stay with me and keep watch. Im sure hes still down there.

Theres a big oil drum in there, that will make a perfect float.

Oh Tim! Get out Timmy! Timmy, look out Timmy!

We thought youd come here when you found your boat was missing.

Where are the other two?

Went home on the morning train. Like us, they cant stand you lot!

Why did you stay behind?

To keep her company, what do you think?

Are you going to try and take us back?

On the contrary, were going to keep you here

and that dog.

No!

Go away!

Get lost, Timmy!

Oh leave him! We havent time, but weve got to find somewhere to put these two.

The dungeonsll keep them quiet for a while.

Right!

Open it u ! " No! p.

Down you go, go on.

No.

Yes!

No.

Get down!

Thatll keep them quiet for a while.

Edgar, you got that boat out of sight?

Yes, and Ive hidden it around the other side of the island.

Good! Well you keep your eye open here til we get back, but don't go inside.

Come on. Lets find him.

I knew there was something strange about those Sticks.

Timmy hated that woman the moment he saw her.

We should have phoned your parents, even if we had nothing to go on.

We have now! They obviously came here to help that convict escape

and now they're using our house and our things.

Im getting stiff sitting.

So am I, but hes definitely down there!

Wed better follow him and see where he goes.

Its alright, Anne, well be careful.

Timmy!

Wheres Dick and George?

What are you doing here?

Where have you been? Never mind.

Thereve been complications, weve got to hide you somewhere else.

Were not alone on the island!

Yes, we know! Thats been dealt with!

But Ive just left two kids, you started to signal as I was about to grab the girl.

But we locked the boy and the girl up not five minutes ago.

Wait! That means that the other two didn't go home.

Come on, we havent got time to stand about here chatting all day!

Weve hidden the boat so they cant follow.

George! Dick!

Theres no one here!

Timmy!

Not yet, Tim! Thats unless Edgar wont tell us whats going on.

Youre too late. My Mum and Dad are coming back.

Youll never find your boat, its hidden!

Okay, Tim.

Edgar? Edgar?

Dad!

III kill that boy when I get my hands on him.

Edgafl

Where is he?

Dad!

Where are you?

Dad, Im in here.

Well, all of the

What the devil are you doing in here? You were told to stay outside.

Sorry, Dad. They tied me up.

Thank you, Edgar.

You let us out.

Of course, as soon as the police arrive.

I bet they don't like those dungeons any more than we did.

Less!

Oh no! Down!

What is it?

Convicts?

Dick, get over there.

Catch this! Cover it with sand.

NOW!

What do you think you're doing? - Uncle Quentin!

Well, I say this is a fine how-do-you-do!

What are you doing here?

Your grandmother is alright so we went up there for nothing.

Coming back down we found everybody has gone.

So I imagined youd be messing about on the island.And I was right, wasnt I?

What are you laughing at? I must say you are a fine welcome party!

But we are, oh we are!
