“Could we go up on deck and look at the big waves?” begged Bunny.
“Oh, no, indeed!” answered his mother.
“Oh, just a little look!” pleaded the boy.
“I might take him and Sue up to the head of the companionway and let them look out for a minute,” said Mr. Brown. “It really is a sight worth seeing.”
“Well, if you think it will be all right, go ahead,” said his wife. “But be careful.”
“We will,” promised Bunny.
“And don’t let the waves wash me overboard,” begged Sue.
“I’ll hold you tight,” said her father.
On the advice of one of the stewards, they went up to a sheltered spot where they could get a view of the deck and the big waves but where they would be sheltered from the worst of the gale. Standing there in the lee of a deckhouse, Bunny and Sue looked out on the tumbling and foam-flecked waves.
“I wouldn’t like to fall in them,” said Bunny.
