Did you ever build a ship to go sailing in?" "No, Freddie. I never did. Do you want to play that game?" "Yes but I want to make a real boat. You see Tommy Todd's father is lost at sea, and we are going to look for him. So I want to make a ship. There's lumber enough, I guess." "I guess there is," said James, looking around at the many piles of boards in Mr. Bobbsey's yards.
Tired, but well satisfied with their trip, the Bobbsey's reached their hotel, and the Martin children went to their home, promising to meet the following day and see more Washington sights. It was about the middle of the night that Mrs. Bobbsey, who slept in the same room with Flossie and Freddie, felt herself being shaken in bed.
It had old carpets and rugs on it, and there were blankets and robes to keep the passengers warm. After some failures Bert and Tommy had finally managed to finish the ice-boat. It was not as easy to build as they had expected, but Mr. Bobbsey's carpenter had helped them. The boat had been tried out on the ice, and had sailed well. Mr. Bobbsey had Mr.
"Bert, your brother, went out to look for you but could not find you, and your father was just about to start out." "Well, we're all right now," said Freddie, "and we thank you very much." "Oh, that's all right," said the man, with a laugh. "In finding you I found myself, for I was lost, too." In about half an hour Mr. Bobbsey's automobile came along, he himself being in it.
"No, a balloon comes down very gently when the gas gives out." said the man. "It's almost like a parachute. Your children will come down like feathers. We'll get up a searching party and go after them." He knew there was great danger but he did not want to add to Mrs. Bobbsey's fears. "Oh, yes! Do something!" cried Mrs. Bobbsey. "We must save them!"
Bobbsey's, lived at Ocean Cliff; and in the third book, called "The Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore," you may learn of the good times Bert and the others had playing on the beach and having adventures. After that the Bobbsey twins went to school, and they spent part of a winter at Snow Lodge. Some time later they made a trip on a houseboat, and stopped again at Meadow Brook.
"Have you got any little calves, Uncle Daniel?" asked Freddie. "Yes," answered the farmer. "And are there any little lambs?" Flossie wanted to know. "Yes, but there's an old ram, too, and you want to look out that he doesn't chase you, and knock you down," Mr. Bobbsey's brother went on. "Oh, is the ram dangerous?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, quickly. "Oh, no!" her brother-in-law informed her.
They had to stop work on their job, as they could not find a long enough plank. The decided to get one from Mr. Bobbsey's lumber yard, later. "We're going to have Snap do the circus trick of jumping through a paper hoop," explained Nan. "Only we can't seem to get the hoop made."
Bobbsey's brother, and his wife, Aunt Sarah, lived in the country at Meadow Brook Farm. They had a ten year old son, named Harry, and he and Bert were great chums whenever they were together. The Bobbsey twins often went to the country, and also to the seashore, where their Uncle William and Aunt Emily, as well as their cousin Dorothy, lived, at a place called Ocean Cliff.
"Just think of that now!" he went on. "My railroad train gets in a wreck right near Lakeport, where I want to get off, and first I know I run into Mr. Bobbsey's children! Well, well! To think of that!" "Here comes daddy now!" cried Flossie, pointing to a figure walking over the snow toward them. "Oh, Daddy, I saw the train wreck!" yelled Freddie.
