to get out myself and tie him up, I took him with me back to Sea Gate. He proved to be very friendly, and though I was sure he was a valuable animal and that some one would want him back, I had no time then to make inquiries. I just kept him and took him home with me." "Did he have a pocketbook when he jumped into your boat?" asked Bunny. "No, I don't believe he did," answered Mr. Ravenwood. "He had nothing in his mouth that I recall; though, to tell you the truth, my back was turned when he leaped aboard." "He couldn't have had my pocketbook," said Mrs. Brown.

The shop has been searched, but where else to look no one knows." "Well, as I said," went on Mr. Ravenwood, "Sandy came aboard my boat and I kept him.
