CHAPTER 18
ADRIFT
AT first, Connie and Vevi could not guess what the lifeguard was trying to do. They saw him push hard against the cabin door.
When it did not open, he brought forth a small metal tool from inside his bathing trunks.
“Why, he must have a deep pocket inside his bathing suit!” Vevi exclaimed in amazement. “How funny!”
“Imagine trying to swim with a heavy piece of metal,” added Connie. “I never heard of such a thing before!”
As the girls watched from behind the curtains, they were shocked to see the lifeguard deliberately break the door lock of the nearby cruiser.
“He shouldn’t have done that!” Vevi declared. “The owner of Miss Lady won’t like it.”
Connie gave the Brownie sign for complete silence.
Vevi realized then that something was dreadfully wrong. Connie, she noticed, looked rather frightened.
