"Just the weather I want," he exclaimed, rubbing his hands. "With this lovely fog we shall round the Skaw and get into German waters unobserved." It looked, indeed, as if our arrival in Germany were now a dead certainty. But the fog that the Captain welcomed was just a little too much for him; it was to prove his undoing rather than his salvation.
At noon, the latitude observed, was 57.54; and at five o'clock we made the Skaw through the crevices of a fog. We had run nearly one hundred miles in nine hours, and the reader may easily understand the alarm of the pilot for the safety of his boat. At six o'clock, the fog cleared away, and we discerned with our glasses five vessels which had run ashore during the thickness of the weather.
"What has she done for you?" "She has brought me to you again to make me know that what you were by Skaw Fell all those years ago, you are now, and a thousand times more." She parried the dangerous meaning in his voice, refused to see the tenderness in his manner. "I'm very sorry to hear that," she added in a tone vainly trying to be unconcerned.
It was made in Holland for Peter the Great, but the ship which carried it was wrecked near Grenen, and the model was saved by the Skaw fishermen. Denmark is renowned for its educational system and for its schools. These schools are all under Government control, and meet the wants of every class.
And you can watch my Ray, For I must go away And dance with Ella Sweyn at Elsinore! Then, while they sweated home the covering-plates: Nor-Nor-Nor-Nor West from Sourabaya to the Baltic Ninety knot an hour to the Skaw! Mother Rugen's tea-house on the Baltic And a dance with Ella Sweyn at Elsinore!
The man, all smiling, held out his hand, and his look was quizzically humorous as he said: "You scarcely looked to see me here, Lady May?" Her voice trembled with pleasure. "No, of course. When did you come, Lord Selden?... Won't you sit down?" That high green terrace of Cumberland, the mist on Skaw Fell, the sun out over the sea, they were in her eyes.
Now it is won, I would give it up and a hundred times as much to hear you say, 'Come to Skaw Fell again." Did he really mean it? She thought he did. And it seemed the only way out of the difficulty. It broke the impasse. It was not necessary, however, to spend the future in the way first suggested to her mind. They discussed all that at Skaw Fell months later.
Nothing matters so that the dream was a good one and the heart approves and the eyes see far." She spoke as though herself in a dream, her look intent on the glowing distance, as though unconscious of his presence. "It's good to have lived among mountains and climbed them when you were young. It gives you bigger ideas of things. You could see a long way with the sun behind you, from Skaw Fell."
The coast outside Merdö is exceptionally dangerous, but the Merdö pilots have also the reputation of being exceptionally brave and skilful. They are also perhaps the widest known. For having no defined district they take a wide range, and may to-day be lying off Lindesnaes, to-morrow under the Skaw or the Holmen, and the day after board a ship from Hamburg right away down at Horn's Reef.
"But are you not subject to considerable delays?" "No, M. Liedenbrock, don't be uneasy, we shall get there in very good time." At evening the schooner doubled the Skaw at the northern point of Denmark, in the night passed the Skager Rack, skirted Norway by Cape Lindness, and entered the North Sea.
