LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW The Emigrant Md Norse, means the Crow's А) Nest. Tradition and saga ру; have it, according to the М Ere elders of the town, that ; r$ qu 442 о himself күнінен АА) the пате upon the place зак оо and ті антын blessed it from a thunder-cloud. And well might the gods havedeigned so to favour the spot. Situated at the head of опе of the smaller fjords, its white thatched cottages were built in quaint irregular rows back from the water's edge. Out in the bay, upon a surface of the deepest blue, a few white sails arose like sca-gulls from the waves. Beyond, the lofty snow-capped moun- tains towered over the village, affording in all a scene picturesque and secure as Gibraltar, yet restful as Sleepy Hollow. For centuries her hardy townsmen had gone about their wonted labours con- tent with the modest fruits of their harvest or the occasional catch of a school of herring. n once a year they would go back in the mountains, returning with much wood for the reat match factories at Oslo. Unspoiled by the importations of traders, her sons had retained the stalwart frame of their Viking forbears. Tall and exceedingly fair they were, with deep blue eyes and frank, happy faces. Smiling ever, with- out a thought for the morrow, they bent their great bodies to their tasks, with little to discuss beyond the last meeting of the town council and the кв d arrival of the mail packet. Lately, however, a change had come over some of the younger men. They appeared restless and discontented, and no longer would wander of a Saturday evening to join in the dance at the post- house, but would stand apart and con- verse for hours on end upon some all- important topic of their own. Foremost among these was Hans Bergen. He alone had been to Oslo and knew the secrets of the big city. More than that, he brought home a tale of a land where money was plentiful and where work abounded. АП of them had heard, but more or less vaguely, of the X Kanada in their years at school, ut here was first-hand knowledge from one of their own. They were at once imbued with the spirit of emigration, thinking of it only as a great ente to a new land where wealth and happi- ness awaited them at the journey’s end. After all, they reasoned, was it not this same spirit which brought immortal fame to their great ancestor, Leif Erik- son? He had discovered the Amerikas. Was it not their right to seek their fortunes there? Fathers and mothers would not hear of it. They h adlivedandprosperedintheland of their ancestors, and their sons could dono better. And,asthey had no money, and the passage demanded at least five hundred kroné, so the matter rested. Then quite suddenly, Hans' mother died. His father had perished on Dogger Bank years before, so that now, when the usual period of mourning had passed, Hans found himself alone in the world, free to follow his great am- bition. His mother had been very thrifty and to a good purpose, for she willed her son a little over a thousand kroné after the house and the stock had been sold. This amount, he reflected, could bring two of them to Kanada! Among them he chose Siegfrid Vangel, and together they prepared for their great adventure. 4 6
