BRUNO 53 



i4 See, he 's cramping! ' 



We went to him as rapidly as possible, and 

 were just in time. At the risk of upsetting us 

 all in the deepest part of the lake probably 

 about fifteen feet Julius dragged him into the 

 boat. We then hurried back to the landing, 

 where poor Bruno had to be helped out, and we 

 laid him on the grass in a state of exhaustion 

 which alarmed us greatly. 



It was some hours before he was himself 

 again, and many months before he lost a great 

 fear of the water, in fact, he was never after- 

 wards the fearless water-dog of his youth.
