MAN OVERBOARD
As the Ramblers drew near the island, a picturesque and lively sight met their gaze. Merry-go-rounds, switchback railways, buildings decorated with gilt and splashes of bright color were scattered around, while a Babel of noise attested to the merriment that was going on. Groups of people moved to and fro, many crowding to the edge of the water as the "Rambler" moved slowly by.
"I didn't know there was anything like this around here," said Bob. "Hello, the island is divided by channels."
A rather wide waterway opened out before them.
"Shall we go through?" he asked.
"Of course," replied Sam, quickly.
Accordingly, the motor boat was turned into the winding reach of water. At intervals, picturesque little rustic bridges crossed the stream.
