"Here they come!" Jack yelled. "Just look at Cora! Isn't she fine!"
"And Hazel!" put in Paul with a smile.
"How about Bess and Belle?" asked the fickle Walter. "I think they look just sweet!"
Only two more "legs," and the Petrel was still ahead!
One was covered, with the Mischief so close that only those in the best position could tell which one led.
"Steady, Hazel!" cautioned Cora. Straight as an arrow she directed the wheel.
Then there was a splash from a nearby motor boat. A shout and screams!
"Overboard!" yelled the frantic onlookers. "A child overboard!"
It was just at the side of the Petrel!
"Hazel! The engine! Bess, the wheel!" shouted Cora, and before any one knew what she was about, she had jumped into the water and was making for the spot were the child had gone under.
