TOMMY DISCOVERS OLD SEA SERPENT 45 
other humps and the little brother diving and 
leaving his hind feet sticking out of the water 
close together, made the tail. 
That was the terrible Old Sea Serpent 
which had so frightened our little friends, 
and is probably the only sea serpent that 
the sailors and the little folks of the sea have 
ever seen. 
Miss Specks and Tommy and Miss Puffin 
were not angry with Tusks and his brothers, 
for though they had been frightened, they 
were very good natured, and they knew 
enough to take a joke. So the day being fine, 
they stayed and watched the antics of the 
big black brothers and admired their deep 
sea diving till the waves began to cast long, 
long shadows and they knew it was time for 
all young Bird people to hurry home.
