The First.

                             Yes, see,—
Astern he has it, and in lee!

Another.

A squall! It's caught them!

The Mayor.

                            Look at that,—
The wind has swept away his hat!

A Woman.

Black as a rook's wing, his wet hair
Streams backward on the angry air.

First Man.

All seethes and surges!

Einar.

                        What a yell!
Rang through the storm!

A Woman.

                        'Twas from the fell.

Another.


[Pointing up.]


See, there stands Gerd upon the cliff,
Hallooing at the passing skiff!

First Woman.

She's flinging pebbles like witch-corn,
And blowing through a twisted horn.

Second Woman.

Now she has slung it like a wand,
And pipes upon her hollow'd hand.
