Bunny held the open umbrella, and Sue held her doll. Of course, the doll
had nothing to do with the sailing of the boat, but Sue kept her in her
arms.
"You aren't going to sail very far; are you, Bunny?" asked Sue as the
boat kept on going faster and faster.
"Not very far," Bunny answered. "We'll just sail around the end of the
island where Bunker went fishing."
Now this would have been all right if the children had sailed around the
end of the island where Bunker Blue happened to be. But they did not.
It was not their fault, either. For Bunker had gone to the other end of
the island, and he was sitting on a log, waiting for a fish to bite.
You see, this is the way it was. Bunker Blue told about it afterward. He
went off the island, leaving Bunny and Sue in the boat. Bunker walked to
the lower end of the island. Bunny and Sue saw him going. He was going
to try for fish there.
But when the red-haired boy got to that end of the island he saw that
the water was so shallow that no large fish could be caught in it.
"I'll just go to the other end," thought Bunker.
So, without calling to Bunny and Sue, Bunker walked along the other
shore of the island, to the upper end.
