"I'll go along with you," offered Captain Ross, and soon he and Mr. Brown, with one of the dock men, were racing after the drifting _Fairy_. On deck Bunny Brown and his sister Sue watched the rescue. "It's just like being shipwrecked, isn't it, Bunny?" suggested Sue, as they sat down on deck to wait. I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU OFFERED CAPTAIN ROSS AND SOON HE AND MISTER BROWN WERE RACING AFTER THE DRIFTING FERRY ON DECK BUNNY BARN AND HIS SISTER SHE WATCHED THE RESCUE IT'S JUST LIKE BEING SHIPWRECKED ISN'T IT BUNNY SUGGESTED SUE AS THEY SAT DOWN ON DECK TO WAIT
they had sailed on the open sea with their father and mother, of course in a larger boat. "How are we going to get 'em back?" asked one of Mr. Brown's men. "Oh, we'll do that easily enough," was the answer. "Bring around the big motor boat. We'll have to tow the _Fairy_ back here. I don't see how she ever got adrift," went on Mr. Brown. "I'm sure neither Bunny nor Sue loosened the cable." "I'm positive they didn't," said Captain Ross. "It must have been that greenhorn cabin boy I had. I hired him yesterday, and let him go this morning because he didn't know one end of a rope from the other. I told him to make the _Fairy_ fast to your dock while I came up here to talk to you. But he must have tied a grannie's or a landlubber's knot, and she pulled loose. I'm glad I'm rid of that boy!" "Yes," agreed Mr. Brown, "a boy who doesn't know enough to tie a safe knot isn't of much use around boats. But there's no great harm done. She isn't drifting fast, and the motor boat will soon pick her up. CEAN IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT MATTER THOUGH THEY HAD SAILED ON THE OPEN SEA WITH THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER OF COURSE IN A LARGER BOAT HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET HIM BACK ASKED ONE OF MISTER BROWN'S MEN OH WE'LL DO THAT EASILY ENOUGH WAS THE ANSWER BRING AROUND THE BIG MOTOR BOAT WE'LL HAVE TO TOW THE FERRY BACK HERE I DON'T SEE HOW SHE EVER GOT ADRIFT WENT ON MISTER BROWN I'M SURE NEITHER BUNNY NOR SUE LOOSENED THE CABLE I'M POSITIVE THEY DIDN'T SAID CAPTAIN ROSS IT MUST HAVE BEEN THAT GREENHORN CABIN BOY I HAD I HIRED HIM YESTERDAY AND LET HIM GO THIS MORNING BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW ONE END OF A ROPE FROM THE OTHER I TOLD HIM TO MAKE THE FERRY FAST TO YOUR DOCK WHILE I CAME UP HERE TO TALK TO YOU BUT HE MUST HAVE TIED A GRANNIES OR A LANDLOR'S KNOT AND SHE PULLED LOOSE I'M GLAD I'M RID OF THAT BOY YES AGREED MISTER BROWN A BOY WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TIE A SAFE KNOT ISN'T OF MUCH USE AROUND BOATS BUT THERE'S NO GREAT HARM DONEE SHE ISN'T DRIFTING FAST AND THE MOTOR BOAT WILL SOON PICK HER UP
