For the moment Berserker rage had burned itself out. Handy Solomon continually wetted his lips, like an animal licking its chops. Thrackles stared into space through eyes drugged with killing. No one spoke. We landed in the cove, and were surprised to find it in shadow. The afternoon was far advanced. Over the hill we dragged ourselves, and down to the spring.
Fortunately our bags still contained a varied assortment, though my man had developed an appetite and a thirst that did credit to his Berserker ancestry. We retired early. But long after the rest of them were snoring hard I continued awake, shivering under my blanket and choking with the acrid smoke of a fire of green timber.
The sad look faded from Ruth's eyes suddenly. A certain wild Berserker rage a taint of the blood, inherited from heaven knows what Old-World ancestry, which had made the twin-brothers' Southwestern eccentricities respected in the settlement glowed in its place. The barkeeper noted it, and augured a lively future for the day's festivities.
"The tongues of your people are like two-edged knives. I have had enough of them. But you are not like them, Odin. I said before that you were a throwback to the men of old-time, when they went berserker together, or followed the whale's path in their dragon-headed ships. Here, swear by the sword, my sword."
With his clipped, blond moustache and his straw-coloured hair as yet but slightly grey at the temples he looked a veritable conquering berserker in his huge coat of golden fur. Never had he appeared to better advantage. "I was waiting for you," he said, "I saw you in the car."
"I warn you, good people, and you, mine host in particular, that I am in a murderous mood," said Don Carlos gaily. "Miss Rostrevor has driven me insane, and I may go Berserker at any moment." "Splendid, old chap!" laughed Tony. "What about attacking the breakfast with savage fury? There goes the gong...."
"Ay no understand 'bout dis arrest. Vat Ay do, hey?" "Helped to kill Jack Burke." The startled Norseman stared at him, gulping, his eyes fairly protruding from his face, his breath hissing between his gritted teeth. The wild berserker blood was surging hot through his veins. "Ut vas von lie! You kill me so! By tamn, no!"

My axe broke, and I took to sword Helmbiter, and once Kolgrim went Berserker, and howled, and leaped from my side into a throng which fell on us, and drove them back, slaying three outright, and meeting with no hurt. Our wedge held steady. Men fell, but we closed up; and there grew a barrier of slain before us.
Once more she had lapsed back to the Vikings and sea-rovers of the tenth century she was Brunhilde again, a shield-maiden, a Valkyrie, a Berserker and the daughter of Berserkers, and like them she fought in a veritable frenzy, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, every sense exalted, every force doubled, insensible to pain, deaf to all reason.
