Quick! See if you can find it!" There was a frightened search for the plug that fitted in a hole in the bottom of the boat, through which aperture the water could be drained out when the craft was on shore. "It isn't here!" cried Grace. "Oh, Mollie!" "Keep quiet! It must be here!" QUICK SEE IF YOU CAN FIND IT THERE WAS A FRIGHTENED SEARCH FOR THE PLUG THAT FITTED IN A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT THROUGH WHICH APERTURE THE WATER COULD BE DRAINED OUT WHEN THE CRAFT WAS ON SHORE IT ISN'T HERE CRIED GRACE OH MOLLY KEEP QUIET IT MUST BE HERE
"If it rains now it isn't so likely to when we start." She was pulling on one pair of oars and Mollie on a second, the others relieving them occasionally. Soon the boat was in the middle of the stream. They had gone on for perhaps half a mile, when Betty, who was sitting comfortably in the stern, toying with the rudder ropes, uttered an exclamation. "Oh!" she cried. "My feet are wet! Mollie, the boat is leaking!" "Leaking?" "Yes! See, the water is fairly pouring in!" Mollie made a hasty examination under the bottom boards of her craft. "Girls!" she cried, in tragic tones, "there's a hole in the boat!" "Don't say that!" begged Amy, standing up. "Sit down!" sternly ordered Betty. "There is no danger! Sit down or you'll fall overboard!" "Oh, but see the water!" cried the nervous Amy. "It is coming in faster!" And indeed it was. "It is those twins!" declared Mollie. "I told them not to get in my boat, but they must have, and they've loosened the drain plug so that it came out a moment ago. ESHER IT'S VERY WARM YES I THINK WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER STORM AGREED GRACE IF IT RAINS NOW IT ISN'T SO LIKELY TO WHEN WE START SHE WAS PULLING ON ONE PAIR OF OARS AND MOLLIE ON A SECOND THE OTHERS RELIEVING THEM OCCASIONALLY SOON THE BOAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM THEY HAD GONE ON FOR PERHAPS HALF A MILE WHEN BETTY WHO WAS SITTING COMFORTABLY IN THE STERN TOYING WITH THE RUDDER ROPES UTTERED AN EXCLAMATION OH SHE CRIED MY FEET ARE WET MOLLY THE BOAT IS LEAKING LEAKING YES SEE THE WATER IS FAIRLY POURING IN MOLLY MADE A HASTY EXAMINATION UNDER THE BOTTOM BOARDS OF HER CRAFT GIRLS SHE CRIED IN TRAGIC TONES THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BOAT DON'T SAY THAT BEGGED AMY STANDING UP SIT DOWN STERNLY ORDERED BETTY THERE IS NO DANGER SIT DOWN OR YOU'LL FALL OVERBOARD OH BUT SEE THE WATER CRIED THE NERVOUS AMY IT'S COMING IT FASTER AND INDEED IT WAS IT IT'S THOSE TWINS DECLARED MOTLEY I TOLD THEM NOT TO GET IN MY BOAT BUT THEY MUST HAVE AND THEY'VE LOOSENED THE DRAIN PLUG SO THAT CAME OUT A MOMENT AGO
