Sparling was bending over Teddy, who lay doubled up against the pilot house. "Is he hurt?" "I don't know. I'll tell you when I get him untangled. He seems to be standing on his head. Lucky if his neck isn't broken." "Teddy's neck is too tough to be easily broken. I think he is merely stunned," said Phil.
"Wait a minute, Mun Bun, and I'll fix you!" cried Russ. "Stand still. The more you move the more you pull your own hair." "I'm not pulling my hair," said Mun Bun. "Somebody behind me is pulling it."
