OF tho western coast Of Norway
lies the little rocky island of Moske-
mes. It is inhabited by q few hardy
fishermen who engage in the cod and
herring fisheries along the coast.
It happened one day in the spring Of
1885 that an old man and his grand
son, lad of ten or a dozen years.

boat, taking with them their fishing
tackle and a lunch Of dried fish and
oaten.cakes.

of the boat. For q time the sea is
smooth, then q light wind blows from

but surely to drift. Little bubbles
and patches of foam appear on the
surface Of the dark water. The
breeze stiffens, and the boat, with,
steadily increasing speed, begins to
move in an ever-narrowing circle. A
sudden lurch alarms the boy, and at
