By day the dolphins and the other creatures of the sea gambolled about his boat; by night a beauteous Star seemed to direct his course; and when he slept and dreamed, he saw ever the spirit clad in white, and holding forth to him the symbol in the similitude of a cross. BY DAY THE DOLPHINS AND THE OTHER CREATURES OF THE SEA GAMBOLLED ABOUT HIS BOAT BY NIGHT A BEAUTEOUS STAR SEEMED TO DIRECT HIS COURSE AND WHEN HE SLEPT AND DREAMED HE SAW EVER THE SPIRIT CLAD IN WHITE AND HOLDING FORTH TO HIM THE SYMBOL IN THE SIMILITUDE OF A CROSS
aid, 'Launch the boat and set sail to-morrow. Have no fear; for I will guide you to the bride that awaits you.' Then, standing there, all white and beautiful, the spirit held forth a symbol--such as I had never before seen--in the figure of a cross, and the spirit said: 'By this symbol shall she be known to you.'" "If this be so, you must need go," said Jans. "But are you well victualled? Come to my cabin, and let me give you venison and bear's meat." Norss shook his head. "The spirit will provide," said he. "I have no fear, and I shall take no care, trusting in the spirit." So Norss pushed his boat down the beach into the sea, and leaped into the boat, and unfurled the sail to the wind. Jans stood wondering on the beach, and watched the boat speed out of sight. On, on, many days on sailed Norss--so many leagues that he thought he must have compassed the earth. In all this time he knew no hunger nor thirst; it was as the spirit had told him in his dream--no cares nor dangers beset him.
