 did not move ahead. "I see what the matter is!" said Captain Ross. "The propeller is broken. It hit something." "Oh, can't we go to Christmas Tree Cove?" asked Sue. "We'll get there somehow," answered Captain Ross. "But the propeller is surely broken." And so it proved. The propeller, you know, is something like an electric fan. It whirls around underwater and pushes the boat ahead. The propeller on the _Fairy_ had struck a floating log and had been broken, as they found out later.

"Hoist the sail, Bunker. We'll get Bunny Brown and his sister Sue to Christmas Tree Cove yet! Hoist the sail!" "Oh, it's lots of fun to sail!" cried Bunny. "I like it better than motoring!" added Sue, who was no longer yelling. Soon the white sail was hoisted, and, as the wind blew, the _Fairy_ slipped easily along through the water.
