Anton and Hans lay together in attitudes of mutual amity which certainly never existed out of their sleeping hours. Lena was curled up, her knees under her chin, only a straight, standing-up pigtail of hair showing above the bolster.
Then they went on again, till they began to see the peak of Jan Mayen's Land, standing-up like a white sugar-loaf, two miles above the clouds. And there they fell in with a whole flock of molly-mocks, who were feeding on a dead whale. "These are the fellows to show you the way," said Mother Carey's chickens; "we cannot help you farther north.
