"I hope it doesn't get away for a few minutes!" called out Russ. "This will make a dandy film!" Much reassured now by the gentle movements of the manatee, Ruth lost nearly all of her fear. Alice really had felt very little. "I thought it surely was an alligator," the latter said, as the boat continued to be towed by the manatee.
