CHAPTER XV
LOOKING FOR TOM
Bunker Blue, with the pail of water, walked up to where Bunny, Sue and the others were still sitting at the breakfast table, though they had finished eating.
"Tom's gone," said Bunker again.
"Gone where?" asked Bunny.
"I don't know," answered the red-haired boy. "I looked all around by the spring, but I couldn't see him. The pail was there, but Tom wasn't."
"Could he have fallen in?" asked Mrs. Brown, just as Uncle Tad had asked. Bunker Blue shook his head.
"The spring is only about big enough to dip a pail in," he said, "and Tom is bigger than the pail."
"But maybe he curled all up in a little heap when he fell in," said Bunny. "Oh, dear! I don't want Tom to be lost!"
