"Will it be ready to sail to morrow?" asked Bunny, as he watched Bunker hammering away at the motor. "Oh, yes," was the answer. "There isn't much the matter with her.

Bunny and Sue laughed also, and they knew they were going to have a jolly time on the trip to Christmas Tree Cove with Captain Ross to sail the _Fairy_, or, if there was no wind, to send the craft through the water by her gasolene engine. This engine Bunker Blue was working on to mend, as it had been broken just before the two Bunker children went adrift from their father's dock.
