Bunker Blue pulled this wire, and the boat began to slow up. Then Bunker leaped to the side of the _Fairy_ near Bunny, and Bunker caught up another life ring and tossed it over the rail. BUNKER BLUE PULLED THIS WIRE AND THE BOAT BEGAN TO SLOW UP THEN BUNKER LEAPED TO THE SIDE OF THE FERRY NEAR BUNNY AND BUNKER CAUGHT UP ANOTHER LIFE RING AND TOSSED IT OVER THE RAIL
hat cry on his father's boat and on the pier, for more than once boys or men had fallen off into the water. Sometimes on warm summer days the boys pushed each other off, just for fun. And often, at such times, the cry would be raised: "Man overboard!" Bunny knew what that meant. It meant that somebody ought to jump to the rescue or throw into the water something the person who had fallen in could grab. There were, on his father's dock, a number of life buoys--round rings of cork covered with canvas and having a long rope attached to them. And there were some of these same things on the deck of the _Fairy_. "Man overboard!" cried Bunny again, and, running to the nearest life ring, he took it off the hook and sent it spinning into the water. Bunny knew that the end of the rope was fast to the rail, so the buoy would not be lost. Bunker Blue also acted quickly. Near the wheel by which the _Fairy_ was steered was a wire, which, when pulled, shut off the motor down in the hold of the craft. VERBOARD YELLED BUNNY HE HAD OFTEN ENOUGH HEARD THAT CRY ON HIS FATHER'S BOAT AND ON THE PIER FOR MORE THAN ONCE BOYS OR MEN HAD FALLEN OFF INTO THE WATER SOMETIMES ON ONE SUMMER DAYS THE BOYS PUSHED EACH OTHER OFF JUST FOR FUN AND OFTEN AT SUCH TIMES THE CRY WOULD BE RAISED MAD OVERBOARD BUNNY KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT IT MEANT THAT SOMEBODY OUGHT TO JUMP TO THE RESCUE FRO INTO THE WATER SOMETHING THE PERSON WHO HAD FALLEN IN COULD GRAB THERE WERE ON HIS FATHER'S STOCK A NUMBER OF LIFE BUOYS AROUND RINGS OF CORK COVERED OF CANVAS HAVING A LONG ROPE ATTACHED THEM AND THERE WERE SOME OF THESE SAME THING ON THE DECK OF THE FERRY MAN OVERBOARD CRIED BUNNY AGAIN AND RUNNING TO THE NEAREST LIFE RING HE TOOK IT OFF THE HOOK AND SENT IT SPINNING INTO THE WATER BUNNY KNEW THAT THE END OF THE ROPE WAS FAST TO THE RAIL SO THE BUOY WOULD NOT BE LOST BUNKER BLUE ALSO ACTED QUICKLY NEAR THE WHEEL BY WHICH THE FERRY WAS STEERED WAS A WIRE WHICH WHEN PULLED SHUT OFF THE MOTOR DOWN IN THE HOLD OF THE CRAFT
