A short distance further we came off Walton-on-the-Naze, the "Naze" being a nose or promontory, with the sea on one side and a shallow backwater on the other.
The wind as before; we therefore tacked with the tide before the Naze, intending to run into Harwich, both for the purpose of waiting for a good wind, and to buy a store of provision which the skipper through his drunkenness had forgotten.
Then, far away beyond the Crouch, came another, striding over some stunted trees, and then yet another, still farther off, wading deeply through a shiny mudflat that seemed to hang halfway up between sea and sky. They were all stalking seaward, as if to intercept the escape of the multitudinous vessels that were crowded between Foulness and the Naze.
He began once more to call for help, but hoped most in a current which he knew set in to land at a place where a naze on the island broke the force of the waves, so that there was smooth water within. He did drift nearer and nearer, and at last came so near to one rock that the mast, which was floating by the side of the boat, was lifted up and down the slope of the rock by the waves.
Physical distress and discomfort were not the only things we had to contend with the nervous strain was also very great, and seemed endless. On February 22nd we rounded the Naze. Here, we thought, we should certainly come across some British vessel. But that day and the next passed it seemed as if we too were to get in during the week-end! and hope of rescue disappeared.
If he were allowed to rule they would soon end in the workhouse! So Lars Peter avoided the question, and after Granny's visit, and having seen her and Sörine together, he understood they would be best apart. They did not come to his home again, but when he was buying up in their part of the country, he would call in at the hut on the Naze and take a cup of coffee with them.
'Tis Christ Himself I take as a witness, you can trust me, Sören." Sören then fell back with closed eyes, and after a while his hand slipped out of hers. After Sören's death there were hard days in store for the two in the hut on the Naze. Feeble as he had been, yet he had always earned something, and had indeed been their sheet anchor. They were now alone, with no man to work for them.
A sudden doubt flashed through her mind; she turned round with a jerk quick as she was in all her movements and set off home for the hut on the Naze. How it had all happened she did not bother to think, such was her relief at being allowed to return to Granny. Granny laughed and cried at the same time, asked questions and could make no sense of it.
As far as the eye could reach inland, mountain over mountain, extending round half the horizon, the land of old Norway, I had read of in my earliest years, expanded itself. On my left hand the Naze hung, frowning, over the Northern Ocean.
Passing the Naze, a high bluff point at the south-western extremity of Norway, and then losing sight of the rough, mountainous coast, intersected by innumerable arms of the sea, called FIORDS, penetrating inland for miles, we crossed the Skager-rack and entered the Cattegat Sea, which divides the western shores of Sweden from the coast of Jutland, and which is about a hundred miles in length and fifty miles in breadth.
