On, on, many days on sailed Norss  so many leagues that he thought he must have compassed the earth. ON ON MANY DAYS ON SAILED NORSE SO MANY LEAGUES THAT HE THOUGHT HE MUST HAVE COME PAST THE EARTH
 you to seek her in foreign lands? Are not our maidens good enough and fair enough, that you must need search for a wife elsewhere? For shame, Norss! for shame!" But Norss said: "A spirit came to me in my dreams last night and said, '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.
