"Throw out the anchor!" commanded Capt. Noah. "We won't take any chances this time."
And pretty soon all the animals were playing on the sand, while Mrs. Noah, with Marjorie and the boys, made a fire under some palm trees.
Suddenly Capt. Noah remembered Mr. Jonah. "Thunder and lightning!" he exclaimed, and at once descended into the hold, where he found poor Mr. Jonah still sitting on the hole in the Ark.
"Arise, noble man!" said Capt. Noah, bursting into laughter.
"Thank goodness," said Jonah. "I feel as stiff as a glass bottle stopper."

The boys were busy with Captain Noah repairing the Ark.
