Description

Chapter Sixteen - The boys find turtle eggs on the sandbar that afternoon and eat fried eggs for supper and for breakfast the following morning. They swim and have wrestling matches and a mock circus on the beach.

Chapter Seventeen - Back in the village, everyone remains in mourning. Becky Thatcher regrets her coldness toward Tom, and their schoolmates remember feeling awful the last time they saw the boys. On Sunday, everyone gathers for the funeral.
