　　Hurrah for Puffin Island!
　　Bill seemed so astonished that the children stared at him. Surely it wasn’t so surprising to see anaeroplane, even near these desolate1 bird-islands?
　　Bill took Jack2’s glasses and looked through them, but it was too late to make out anything.
　　‘I wonder if it was a seaplane or an ordinary plane,’ he said, half to himself. ‘How strange.’
　　‘Why is it strange?’ asked Dinah. ‘Aeroplanes go everywhere now.’
　　Bill said no more. He handed back the glasses to Jack. ‘I think we’d better have a meal, andthen put up our tents,’ he said. ‘What about putting them by that little stream we saw on our wayhere?

　　‘Kiki’s awful,’ said Dinah. ‘She really is. She’s pinched three biscuits already. I don’t think yougive her enough sunflower seeds, Jack.’
