They hailed her with firing of guns and loud hurrahs as she stepped into the boat; still she did not raise her eyes, but remained silent. A small cannon, also an heir-loom in the family, was placed amidships, and Truls, with his violin, took his seat in the prow.
As for boots, for his lower extremities were not wholly destitute of protection, they might have come down to him as an heir-loom from a pauper of a preceding generation.
