"That's a mistake," said the stork; "you must have dreamt all that!" "No, no!" she persisted. And she reminded him of the Viking's castle, and of the great ocean, and of the journey hither. Then stork-papa winked with his eyes, and said: "Why, that's an old story, which I heard from the time of my great-grandfather.
We talked of Tom Kinlay's work on his father's new boat, and made surmises as to the nature of the trade or traffic it was to be engaged in; but whether the boat was to be sent to the saith fishing, or to be used as a tender to the ships, we could not tell.
