"It won't do to let her run on there!" exclaimed Farr. "It will swamp her."
"Yes," said Fred; "but it is not deep water. Sit still and pull till I give the word, then jump out, everybody, and ease her ashore.
"Now for it! Over with you!" he shouted, a moment afterwards.
We leaped out, and carried the boat by main strength high upon the land.
FRITZ.

FRITZ COVERING UP HIS FOOD. |
Fritz is a beautiful light-blue grey cat. He is the especial pet of his master's little daughter, and therefore has many privileges about the house not usually accorded to cats. Among these special privileges is that of having his food in the dining-room. Fritz has many peculiarities, the chief being that he thinks that he is covering up the food that remains after he has eaten all he wishes, a habit of wild cats which is well known.
He stands over the plate which contains the remains of his repast and scratches perfectly imaginary dust or mould over it.
