"It's too bad you had such bad luck bringing us here," said Mrs. Brown. "I'm sorry, Captain, that your boat is broken." "Oh, a smashed propeller isn't anything," he answered, with a laugh. "I was going to get a new one, anyhow. I'll just land you folks and then I'll sail back to Bellemere and have my boat fixed."

There was no "jiggle" now, as Bunny called it, for the motor was not running like a sewing machine down in the hold of the boat. Nearer and nearer the boat approached the shore. The clumps of green trees became more plain. Soon little houses and bungalows could be seen. Then the children saw a long dock extending out into the water. "That's where we tie up," said Captain Ross. "I think the wind will hold until we get there.
