As they were to make an early morning start, Bunny and Sue had said good bye to their boy and girl friends the evening before. As they walked past Mr. Foswick's carpenter shop with Uncle Tad, who went down the street with them at the last minute to buy something Mrs. Brown wanted, the children looked at the wood working place.

hen anybody asks what you can fill a barrel or a box with to make it weigh less, just tell 'em to fill it full of holes! Ha! Ha!" and he clapped his big hand down on his bigger leg and laughed heartily. 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. "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. We'll be able to pull out in the morning." And by hard work everything was finished that night on board the _Fairy_. Uncle Tad, the jolly old soldier, announced that he had his "knapsack" packed and enough "rations" to last him for a week, anyhow.  REAL HE SAID I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT WENT ON CAPTAIN ROSS AFTER THIS WHEN ANYBODY ASKS WHAT YOU CAN FILL THE BARREL OR A BOX WHAT TO MAKE IT WAY LESS JUST TELL THEM TO FILL FULL OF HOLES HA HA HE CROSSED HIS BIG HAND DOWN ON HIS BIGGER LEG AND LAUGHED HEARTILY THEN LAUGHED ALSO THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A JOLLY TIME ON THE TRIP TO CHRISTMAS TREE COVE WITH CAPTAIN ROSS TO SAIL THE FERRY OR IF THERE WAS NO WIND TO SEND THE CRAFT THROUGH THE WATER BY HER GASOLENE ENGINE THIS ENGINE BUNKER BLEW WAS WORKING ON TO MEND AS IT HAD BEEN BROKEN JUST BEFORE THE TWO BUNKER CHILDREN WENT ADRIFT FROM THEIR FATHER'S DOCK 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 WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL OUT IN THE MORNING AND BY HARD WORK EVERYTHING WAS FINISHED THAT NIGHT ON BOARD THE FERRY UNCLE TAD THE JOLLY OLD SOLDIER ANNOUNCED THAT HE HAD HIS KNAPSACK PACKED AND ENOUGH RATIONS TO LAST THEM FOR A WEEK ANYHOW
