Quickly taking her place on the deck, Miss Susie shouted, "Have you got a muscallonge?"
"Yes," replied somebody on board.
"Hold it up and let us see it."
In response a man on the other boat held forth to view a huge fish which weighed at least twenty-five pounds.
"Good for you! Good for you!" shouted the Go Ahead boys together.
"Hold it up higher," called Miss Susie. "Is that a real fish? Did you really catch it or did you buy it somewhere?"
A reply was not given the questions, for suddenly the great fish slipped from the hands of the man who was holding it and with a splash it fell into the water.
"That's right," grunted Mr. Button. "I told you what was going to happen."
"Why, Mr. Button," exclaimed Miss Susie, "did you know beforehand that he was going to drop that fish?"
"I told the boys before we started that they would surely have trouble to-day. Now, stop this boat, Sam Hodge," he added. "We have got to help those people get that fish in."
