JOIINNY BLOSSOM
"Pooh! That’s nothing to do," said Johnny
Blossom.
"Yes, but sit there alone while we row away?"
said Olaf.
"You shall soon see whether I dare or not,"
returned Johnny.
They rowed to the buoy and he climbed out
upon it.
"Now row away, row as far away as you like.
It is perfectly glorious sitting here!"
Olaf and Herman plied the oars as hard as they
could, while Johnny Blossom sat proudly erect
upon the "red pear." He had never thought of
its being possible for any one to sit here. Just
think, only water far and wide around him! Yet
here he sat entirely at his ease, could sit here
just the same if a storm should blow up—that
would be a small matter for Johnny Blossom.
Now that the boys were away off behind the big
coal steamer, any one might wonder how much
farther they meant to row.
The wind began to blow and the pear rocked
up and down. It was queer the way there came
a whack from the sea against the buoy with
every wave. The pear rocked more and more.
My! oh, my! how the sea hit against it now!
Almost hard enough to send the spray away up
