The Children had been playing on the bench all the afternoon while their father sat in a deck chair pretending to read the newspaper, although of course the children knew that he was really asleep. They had bathed earlier, but now a wind had blown up from the sea and it was too cold to tempt them in gain. They had “brought Lulu, the dog, with them and had spent some time throwing a ball into the sea and trying to persuade her to swim out for it. But although Lulu barked happily, she was not as young as the used to be and in the end one of the children and to paddle out, and get the ball. Fortunately, the tide had turned but it would be another half hour before it was fully in although the little pools round the rocks were already knee deep and the tall castle they had built by the water’s edge had already disappeared.

At the moment Rod, the elder boy, had decided to teach the other two how to play football, buy they were not interested. Jeannie was looking for shells for her collection and Harry, their little brother, wanted to hunt for crabs. Irritated with them, Rod took the ball and kicked it up the beach. Lulu pattered after it, but stopped halfway, and began to nose and whine something in the sand. Rod ran up to her. He looked down where she was now frantically diggings. He knelt beside her, pushing away the sand. He saw the sealed top of what seemed like a heavy metal object. Cautiously he felt it. It seemed to be round. Could it be? It was the right shape. Yes, it was. Red stood up and, dragging the dog away, shouted. “Father, wake up! I think Lulu’s found a bomb!”
