The bent pin sank out of sight, and
both children watched eagerly, wondering how long it would be before
they would catch a fish.
But suddenly their boat bumped against something, and stopped moving.
The bump was so hard that Bunny was knocked over against Sue.
"Oh, Bunny, don't!" she exclaimed. "You hurt my arm!"
"I--I couldn't help it," Bunny said.
"Was it a fish?" asked Sue, hopefully, "Did he pull you over?"
Bunny shook his head. Nothing had taken hold of the pin-hook. Then he
turned his head and looked around.
"Oh, Sue!" he cried. "We've run ashore on an island. Now we can get out
and have some fun! This is great!"
CHAPTER VIII
SUE FALLS IN
The boat, in which Bunny Brown and his sister Sue had gone adrift, had
really "bunked into an island," as Bunny told about it afterward. He
said "bunked," and he meant bumped, for that is what the boat had done.
There were a number of islands in the river, some small and some larger,
and it was at one of the larger ones that Bunny and Sue now found
themselves.
