The fine canoe that scouty made atop the ripping water played, and then it started drift ing and 1t soon was far from shore.
 Wee Goldy, with a long stick, tried to reach 1t. Then she loudly cried, "Oh, now you've lost 1t. We can't watch 1t bob round any more"
 Just wait and see," said Scouty. Say, I'll soon be on my merry way right out to where the boat Is. Then I'll bring it back to land. T made that boat myself, you see, and 1t won't get away from me. I'll swim right out, or walk out, if it's not too deep to stand"
 
 The next thing that the Tinies knew, he did just what he said he'd do. It wasn't very long un- til he reached the little boat.
 Twas quickly brought right back to shore. Now, 1t won't drift off any more" said Scouty. "I will use a string, when next it's set afoat."
 And then the whole bunch heard yell, and Coppy shouted.
