Soon they were at the end of the dock. Coming up to it was a sailing boat, that had been out to sea for fish.
"Did you get many?" called Bunker to the captain.
"Yes, quite a few fish this time. Want to come and look at them? Bring the children!"
"Oh, can we go on the boat?" asked Bunny eagerly.
"I guess so," said Bunker Blue.
He led the children carefully to the deck of the fish boat. Bunny and Sue looked down into a hole, through an opening in the deck. The hole was filled with fish, some of which were still flapping their tails, for they had only just been taken out of the nets.
"Oh-o-o-o! What a lot of fish!" exclaimed Sue. She leaned over to see better, when, all at once, her doll slipped from her arms, and fell right down among the flapping fish.
"Oh, dear!" cried Sue.
"I'll get her for you!" cried Bunny, and he was just going to jump down in among the fish, too, but Bunker Blue caught him by the arm.
"You'll spoil all your clothes if you do that, little man!" Bunker said.
