One night he was so tormented by an uneasiness about the new Sekstring, which lay down by the bridge ready to set off next morning, that he had no peace till he went down and tested its keel-board with his club. But while he sat in the boat, and was bending over the thwart with a light, there was a gulping sound out at sea, and then came such a vile stench of rottenness.
His eyes became more and more glowing. "If I could guide you back to Helgeland," said he, "I could put you in the way of gaining your bread too. But you must pay me a little tax for it. In every seventh boat you build 'tis I who must put in the keel-board." Jack felt as if he were choking. He felt that the boat was dragging him into the very jaws of an abomination.
They sailed and searched in every direction, and it was in vain. But towards day the Femböring came drifting homewards bottom upwards, and with a large hole in the keel-board. Then he knew who had done the deed. But since the night when the whole of Jack's family went down, things were very different at Sjöholm.
The plane was sending the shavings flying their briskest when he came to a dead stop at something black which was moving along the plank. It was a large and hideous fly which was crawling about and feeling and poking all the planks in the boat. When it reached the lowest keel-board it whirred with its wings and buzzed.
