When the beautiful little model clipper, Dolphin, disappeared one stormy night from Aunt Sallie's candy shop window with her savings in it, the Cherry children, Janet and Dick, took it on themselves to play detective. The two wild Cherries, they were called, because their name was Cherry and they were wild, but that wildness was only an eagerness for fun and adventure which often misled them into mischief. Before their summer vacation at the seashore was over, they had managed to get themselves shipwrecked on Christmas Island where—wonder of wonders—they actually did solve the mystery of the missing model clipper, and were able to proudly return it to Aunt Sallie with all the money in it.
