sailor, Tual, cast away from wreck On
the coast Of Iceland and rescued by
Emoergen, whose daughter Koethe'
falls in love with him. Tual and Koethe
marry. Later on a Breton fishing smack
Is seen off the coast. This awakens in
Tual an imperious desire TO see his
native land once more, but he has sworn
in the presence Of the Terrible Island
divinity, Hrfuaga, never to abandon
Koethe, a terrific struggle ensues be-
tween TuaTs love for his country and

a strange fragrance which may have been

from the eggs. The black bass was deli
