And it is very good for youth to put up with hard usage, it is said. Yes, if it makes age good. The period for which he had been engaged was expired the vessel lay again at Ringkiöbingfiord. He landed, and went home to Huusby-Klitter; but his mother had died during his absence. The winter which followed was a severe one. Snow storms drove over sea and land: one could scarcely face them.
The good old Brönne and his wife reposed there, near their daughter, under the white sand. It was late in the year the time of storms; the sand-hills smoked, the waves rolled mountains high on the raging sea; the birds in hosts, like dark tempestuous clouds, passed screeching over the sand-hills; ship after ship went ashore on the terrible reefs between Skagen's Green and Huusby-Klitter.
Among those who had joined the spirit throng were his old foster-father and mother from Huusby-Klitter, and his kind friend Brönne and his wife; and at their side, but close to himself, sat their mild, lovely daughter.
At last they heard, "Totally lost every one on board perished!" But at Huusby-Klitter, in the fisherman's cottage, there dwelt now a little urchin. Where God bestows food for two, there is always something for a third; and near the sea there is plenty of fish to be found. The little stranger was named Jörgen. "He is surely a Jewish child," said some people, "he has so dark a complexion."
Gammel-Skagen lies on the northern part of Jutland, at the other extremity of the country from Huusby-Klitter, and that was what Jörgen thought most of. He was determined not to stay for Elsé and Morten's wedding, which was to take place in a couple of weeks. "It was foolish to take his departure now," was the opinion of the old fisherman who had spoken to him before.
