The next summer The Ds are off to the Lakes again to stay with the Amazons as they are alone whilst Captain Flint takes his sister to recuperate. The dreaded Great Aunt finds out and invites herself to look after the Amazons. The Ds are ejected and make a home in the woods and learn to live off the land in secret hence Dot referring to them as Picts. Their new boat Scarab is due for delivery and they have to collect it and berth her secretly in the Lagoon. They learn to sail her and go to the houseboat to assist Captain Flint’s mining partner in assaying the samples from the mine they found in Pigeon Post. A burglary is necessary to remove essential equipment from Captain Flint’s study and the Police are called by the Great Aunt. The story ends with the GA getting lost and the Ds rescuing her in time for her to leave on time with 6 weeks of the holiday still to go.
