The business of scanning for "HAT" is somewhat awkward due to the
numerous words in which that particular trio of letters exist,
such as "hatch" for example. I scanned for " hat", with a
leading space, to at least reduce the false hits.
Here is what I found out.
And by the way, thanks for asking me to check this out. It is my
pleasure.

===================================================
BS - ch 2 a description of the "eel man."
A small black tarred boat, wide in the beam and pointed at
both ends, was rounding the bend by the inn, rowed by an
old man with a mane of grey hair that hung down on his
shoulders from under an old black hat.
-----------------
BS - ch 5 another reference to the "eel man."
The eelman was rowing steadily downstream. Everybody
knew him, with his grey mane hanging over his shoulders
from under his tattered black hat.
-----------------
BS - ch 20 - the old parson
They saw him take off his black felt hat to the old lady from
the sweet-shop.
-----------------
CC - ch14 - Mrs. Barrable is writing to her brother, including
sketches:
Here was a picture of a small girl
with frilled drawers showing beneath her longish pettcoats,
and a small boy with a very wide-brimmed sailor hat.
-----------------
CC - ch21 - the twins are on the barge with the Whittle couple.
The twins squeezed together along the bench. Mr. Whittle
took off his billycock hat, worked himself round the corner
of the table and sat down, smoothing his moustache with his
fingers.
-----------------
CC - ch25 - the Admiral is remembering scenes of past regettas.
Far-off days were
in her mind when Breydon Water was gay with yachts and
she was listening for the crack of the winning gun in the
commodore's steam launch. She was seeing frilled parasols
and rowing skiffs, and young women with little sailor hats,
and spreading skirts and sleeves most strangely puffed above
the elbows.
-----------------
CC - ch7 - The twins see their father gets to work properly.
It was their daily business to see that he went off with tidy hat
and gloves to spend the day as a solicitor.
a similar reference, with the twin's father...
Port used the brown gloves to give a last rub round to the
hard hat, and put them in at the window. Mr. Farland set the
hat on his head, took it off again to his daughters, tooted the
horn and was gone.
-----------------
ML - ch11 - they have just spotted the SWALLOW and AMAZON up the
creek where the Chinese have stashed them, and momemtarily almost
had a collision with a Junk.
They just missed the anchor hawser and swept
past the big junk almost near enough to touch it, while men in pointed
straw hats looked down on them and jeered as sailors always do jeer in
harbour at other sailors who have narrow shaves of bumping their new
paint.
-----------------
ML - ch14 - Prisoner Captain Flint has managed to slip a note to
them, using semaphore stick figures that had a Chinese look to
them.
She held out a drawing that looked like one of her own pictures,
except that all the people in it had Chinese hats.
-----------------
ML - ch15 - Peggy is trying to make a paper box (like a matchbox)
out of a sheet of paper by folding and a bit of scissor work.
Peggy folded the paper and cut it square with her scout-knife. Then
she folded in the corners so that it became a smaller square. Then she
folded again. It turned into a hat, a double-ended boat, a salt cellar.
-----------------
ML - ch17 - Captain Flint is resolved to understand the Latin
lessons. The hat mentioned here is really just an expression.
"I will," said Captain Flint. "Where's that Latin Grammar. If I don't
know 'Artifex and Opifex' by to-morrow morning I'll eat my hat.
-----------------
ML - ch22 - Roger has just had a near miss with a bullet hole in
his hat.
The door from the courtyard burst open and Roger came racing in
holding his hat at arm's length before him.
"Look, look, Nancy," he shouted. "We were looking at the river all in
flood... No, no, Miss Lee, we hadn't gone to the ferry or anywhere we
mustn't... We were looking at the river and there was a bang... and I
heard something whizz... and my hat flew off, and look at it!" And he
pointed to a clean hole through the brim.
-----------------
ML - ch23 - they are still taking note of the bullet hole in
Roger's hat.
ROGER with a bullet through his hat was enough to slow up any
sewing party. Nancy was full of envy. Titty wanted to know exactly
what had happened. Susan turned away from the hat and would not
look at it, thinking how near the bullet had passed by Roger's head.
-----------------
ML - ch24 - Roger is still getting some notice with his bullet
hole in his hat.
"Come on," said Roger, twiddling his hat with a finger through
the bullet-hole. "Let's go out and meet the other dragons."
They notice the attire of a Chinese dancing leader of a paper
dragon.
Far away on the other side of the gorge a man in bright red clothes
and a pointed red hat was leaping, somersaulting high-kicking,
jumping up and spinning in the air, and whirling some sort of ball at
the end of a string in front of the dragon's monstrous head.
Roger notes he does not have that kind of hat, but Susan says she
can make one for him.
Roger then practices with his fancy dancing hat.
The amah was beckoning at the garden door. "Missee Lee say
walkee," she said, and suddenly laughed as she saw Roger jumping for
practice with his scarlet hat on his head and the string round his
middle...
Preparing to leave, they take one more look-around.
Two minutes later they were ready, and Susan was looking round to
see if they had left anything behind. She found Roger's white hat with
the bullet-hole through it on his bed where he had flung it when he put
on his pointed scarlet one.
-----------------
ML - ch6 - they spot a Chinese Fisherman.
"There he is," whispered Roger. "Look at his hat."
His hat, yellow and round, going up to a point in the middle, seemed
as big as an umbrella.
-----------------
ML - ch7 - they make further notice of the Chinese style of hat.
They had wide conical hats like straw-coloured lampshades.
-----------------
PD - ch20 - they explore Treasure Island
"Hullo!" said Bill, stopping short and just saving his hat from being
blown away by the wind off the Atlantic.
-----------------
PD - ch22 - Bill has just rowed an exploration party to the
shore.
They thought they heard a faint farewell shout, and they saw Bill
flourish his hat.
-----------------
PD - ch28 - They survey the damage of the high wind and
earthquake.
"Lucky it's no worse," said Nancy. "It might have been if we'd left her
leaning up against a rock. What about the sail? My hat, it's a good
thing you stowed it properly. It would be flying over America with the
tent if you hadn't."
Susan is inspecting the storm-damages saucepan.
She was slightly comforted by the finding of the saucepan. It
was dented like an old hat.
-----------------
PD - ch5 - Peter Duck is dreaming of the wealth of treasure.
...and ride in carriages we will and nod to
princes when they lifts their hats to us."
-----------------
PD - ch8 - Dawn at sea, passing Dungeness.
Captain Flint, yawning and rubbing his eyes, came out of the
deckhouse, pulling an old tweed hat down over his head and buttoning
his jacket over his muffler.
-----------------
PM - ch14 - The Amazons head for the boathouse in strange attire.
White frocks, pink sashes, shady white hats... if they had
not known who was wearing these things, they never would have
guessed.
But after a quick change in the boathouse...
A miracle had happened. White frocks and shady hats were
gone. Two sturdy pirates in shirts and shorts, with red stocking
caps on their heads, were in the boat...
-----------------
PM - ch2
They are met by Timothy, formerly known as...
"Squashy Hat," exclaimed Dorothea, who had seen him at
the same moment, a tall, thin man, with an old tweed hat,
working towards them through the crowd.
-----------------

The mess was dreadful, worse in some ways than when
the Arctic explorers had been busy there making fur hats out of
sheepskins.
-----------------
PM - ch21 - Nancy tells how the GA describes the suspicious
character.
"Well, if anybody's wanted by the police, it isn't Dick," said
Nancy with a grin. "That's one thing. She said it was a tall man,
thin, with a battered felt hat.
-----------------
PM - ch27 - The D's are about to take the GA as passenger.
The Great Aunt had put on her hat and was coming out of the

testing the "gold."
Captain Flint threw a felt hat on the table,
brought a suitcase bright with steamer labels in from the hall...
-----------------
PP - ch34 - Squashy Hat comes to the rescue from the fire.
A tall long-legged man in grey flannels came leaping
through the smoke. He had lost his hat, but Titty knew who
he was...

"Take your hat off the lamp and let's have a bit of light."
-----------------
SA - ch31 - the story of their finding Captain's Flint stolen
property is becoming known in the community, even to the
passengers on the steamer.
Suddenly a loud cheer sounded over the water, and again and
again. The passengers waved their hats, and shouted.
"What is the matter with the natives in the steamer?" said
Roger.
-----------------
SD - ch12 - they spy the Amazons on a carriage ride with the GA.
A very prim elderly lady, holding a small black parasol over
her head, was sitting stiffly beside Mrs. Blackett. In front of them
on the little narrow seat behind the driver , facing the grown-ups,
were two girls in flounced frocks, with summer hats, their hands
in gloves, clasped on their knees. It was a dreadful sight.
-----------------
SD - ch18 - Titty is fashioning a candle grease image of the GA.
...she squashed them together and made them into a hat instead,
pressing it down on the blob that was meant for a head.
-----------------
SD - ch23 - they have found the "war canoe" and are getting it
out from its moorings.
In another minute the four explorers were crouching in the
boat and pulling her out by catching at the oak branches that
brushed over them with rustling leaves.
"It's lucky we didn't wear hats," said Roger.
-----------------
SD - ch6 - Captain Flint has just come upon the shipwreck scene.
A rowing boat was shooting in between the heads. There
was nobody in her but a big man who had hitched his oars under

his head with a large red-and-green handkerchief.
-----------------

"And stick them on with glue."
"What for?" shouted Roger.
"To save your scalps!"
-----------------
WD - ch20 - John is about to recognize Daddy on the steamer.
...his face was sunburnt to a dark brown, and he flicked off his
soft tweed hat and shot his fingers upwards through his hair with
a trick that seemed to John somehow familiar.
-----------------
WD - ch21 - Daddy manages to jump ship and get to the Goblin.
The little motor-boat was circling round to come up along-
side, and sitting in it, holding on his grey felt hat, was...
"DADDY!" they all four shouted at once.

WH - many places make reference to the FUR HATS
Dick almost lost his when the sledge crashed, but he managed to
find it again.
-----------------
WH - ch8 - they manage to flag down the doctor to come look at
Nancy at Beckfoot.
She came up in time to see a small, neat, pink-faced

side doors.
