There could be no mistake about it this time. Crawling up out of the river to the shore of the small island were a number of the long-tailed, scaly creatures with the big snouts. And as one of the alligators crawled up he opened his mouth, showing rows of sharp teeth.
"Oh, I don't want to stay here!" cried Sue, in alarm.
Bunny Brown grasped more firmly his sharp stick.
"Don't be afraid!" he said. "I won't let the alligators hurt you!"
CHAPTER XXV
MR. BUNN
Sue Brown thought a great deal of her brother Bunny, and she knew he was brave and good to her. But whether he could save her from the alligators she was not quite so certain.
"Oh, Bunny, Bunny! where you going?" cried Sue, as she felt her brother pull away from her.
"I'm going down there to drive those alligators away with my sharp stick!" he answered.
