His good sword Angle would not allow to come amongst the spoils for division, but bore it long himself. They took Glaum with them, still complaining and resisting. The weather had calmed down in the night, and in the morning they rowed to the mainland. Angle sailed for the most convenient place, and sent the ship on to Bjorn.
They went up the ladder, looked round and saw close to the ascent a man lying and snoring aloud. Thorbjorn recognised Glaum, went up to the rascal and told him to wake up, striking his ear with the hilt of his sword and saying: "Truly he is in a bad case whose life is entrusted to your keeping." Glaum looked up and said: "They are going on as usual.
"Dutch," replied Mr. White promptly. "Are you sure of this?" "I would stake my life on it," answered the heroic Mr. White. "As I came through to your office I saw a young lady at the cashier's desk Miss Glaum, I think her name is. Is she Dutch, too?" "Miss Glaum ah well Miss Glaum." White hesitated. "A very nice, industrious girl, and a friend of Doctor van Heerden's.
Three minutes later McNorton appeared from the Whitehall end of Scotland Yard. Beale hailed a cab and they drove to the hotel together. "Warrants have been issued for van Heerden and Milsom and the girl Glaum," he said. "I expect we shall find the nest empty, but I have sent men to all the railway stations do you think we've moved too late?"
Then they returned to their hut and said nothing about the tree to the thrall. The next day they found the tree again, nearer to the ladder than on the day before. Grettir put it back into the sea and said he would never carry it home. That night passed and dirty weather set in with rain, so that they did not care to go out and told Glaum to fetch fuel.
"I shall get a great deal by prying here, I think," he said calmly. "Sit down, Miss Hilda Glaum, and let us understand one another. You are a friend of Doctor van Heerden's?" "I shall answer no questions," she snapped.
"The Fräulein Glaum, you saw her?" "Yes, I told her that she must not come to your laboratory again until you sent for her. She asked when you leave." "That she must not know, Gregory please remember." He withdrew his head, tapped at the window and the car moved on. "There's another problem for you, van Heerden," said Milsom with a chuckle. "What?" demanded the other sharply. "Hilda Glaum.
When Grettir heard that everybody had gone to the Thing he laid a plan with his friends, for he was always on good terms with those who were nearest to him, and for them he spared nothing which he was able to get. He said he would go to the land to get supplies and that Illugi and Glaum should remain behind. Illugi thought it very imprudent but he let Grettir have his way.
"Carter, my assistant, says that he's certain van Heerden has not left London." "Has the girl spoken?" "Glaum? No, she's as dumb as an oyster. I doubt if you would get her to speak even if you put her through the third degree, and we don't allow that." "So I am told," said Beale dryly. There was a knock at the door. "Unlock it somebody," said Kitson. "I turned the key."
When they came near to Osland, Glaum became so obstreperous that they refused to carry him any further and slew him there where he was, crying as loud as he could until he was killed. Angle went home to Vidvik and considered that on this journey he had been successful. They laid Grettir's head in salt and put it for the winter in the out-house called Grettisbur in Vidvik.
