With a bound, Billy was beside him, and peering through the rushes into the tiny bay in which they kept their boat. CHAPTER II A SHOWER OF FISH Suddenly his fears vanished. Croaker's voice, high-pitched and jubilant, had summoned him from somewhere on the other side of the building. As quickly as the weeds and his lagging feet would permit Billy joined him. Croaker was standing erect on a pile of old bottles, basking in the radiance of the colored lights which the sun drew from them.
