CHAPTER X
OUT IN THE BOAT
Bunker Blue turned sleepily over on his cot.
"What—what's that?" he asked of Tom.
"Listen," Tom answered. "Don't you hear that, Bunker? First someone is hollering about Katy's doing something, and then somebody else yells that she didn't do it. Say, I don't like it here."
Bunker Blue laughed aloud.
"What's the matter out there?" asked Daddy Brown.
"Oh, it's only Tom," said the red-haired boy. "He doesn't like the song of the katydids."
"Song! Is that a song?" asked Tom.
"Some people call it that," said Mr. Brown, for he knew that a city boy might be just as frightened of sounds in the country as a country boy might of sounds in the city.
