ch the water."

"Oh, that's a good riddle!" laughed Bunny. "I'm going to fool Bunker on
that."

"If the water pail upset and spilled on him then the water would touch
him," said Sue, after a moment of thought. "And if he fell in the water
he'd be wet."

"Yes, but you aren't supposed to do that in riddles," returned Captain
Ross.

After supper on the _Fairy_, Uncle Tad took the two children on
shore, Bunny and Sue having secured their mother's permission to ride on
the merry-go-round. It was a big affair, playing jolly tunes, and the
animals were large and gaily painted.

Bunny and Sue had a number of rides, always begging for "just one more,"
until Uncle Tad finally said:

"No, that's enough! You'll be ill if you whirl around any more. Come,
we'll walk around and look at things, and then we'll go back to the
boat."

He led them around to see the other attractions at the little park near
the big hotel. Somehow or other, Bunny wandered away from Uncle Tad and
Sue while Sue and the old soldier were looking at a man blowing colored
glass into birds, feathers, balloons and other fantastic shapes.

But finally Uncle Tad said:

"Come, Sue, we must be going now. Where's Bunny?"

"He was here a minute ago," answered Bunny's sister.

She looked around. They were on a plaza, or open space, at one end of
which stood the musical merry-go-round. At the other end was a drive
where little ponies and carts could be hired for short rides.

As Sue and Uncle Tad looked, there suddenly dashed from this place a
large, white goat. And on the back of the goat was Bunny Brown, clinging
fast!

"Oh, look! Look!" cried Sue. "It's a merry-go-round goat! It's a merry
goat, and Bunny's having a ride on his back!"

As she spoke the animal dashed straight for the whirling carousel, and
Bunny's face, showing some fright, was turned toward his uncle and his
sister.

CHAPTER X

IN THE STORM

Before Sue and Uncle Tad could do anything, even if they had known what
to do, something very queer happened. The goat, on whose back Bunny was
riding, jumped up on the big, circular platform of the merry-go-round.
It was on this platform that the wooden animals, birds, and fishes were
built, and where, also, were the broad wooden seats for older folk, who
did not like to get on the back of a lion or a camel and be twirled
around.

The platform was broad, for boys and girls had to step up on it to make
their way to whatever animal the
