Swallows and Amazons, Chapter X, "The Parley," Page 110 (Jonathan Cape hardbound, 1995 printing):
"Thunder and lightning," said Nancy Blackett, "what a chance we missed. If we'd only known we'd have given you broadside for broadside till one of us sank, even if it had made us late for lunch."
Peggy Blackett went on. "We came here to-day to look at you again. We got up at sunrise and sailed close by the island, and there was no smoke and we thought you had gone. Probably you were all asleep. Then we saw your ship at the landing-place. We sailed on to Tea Bay and had our second breakfast there, a real one with tea. The first was only cold porridge and sandwiches we got from cook last night....."
I found no other reference to Tea Bay in SA, and none in SD.
