For a long time, they walked across gently falling land until, at last they came to the girdle of water dividing the world of men from Yacht Mannheim. They stared at the fretful grey water and the mountains beyond squat tubs and barrels of unfriendly land suppressed by leaden sky. They can wait until the morning, said Thaw. Then they busy themselves with putting most of the contents of their knapsack into their stomachs and filled with the remains of the previous night's meal and a helping of porridge as well. They slapped in the sand beside the rocking ocean, thought unlucky. Thie, Alfie and Rusk there did not have to walk far along the strand next morning, before they found an old boat beached and disused. They took it over and hold it down to the water. The boat, reared and kicked forward every time thought pulled the oars on. By midday, they reached the shore of what God, a broad strip of land that lay between the water on the mountains. The four travellers beach their boat and, as there was no sign of life along the coast there, headed inland. After a while, they came to a forest of stretched so far in both directions that there seemed to be no way around it. So they made their way into it and began to pick their way through it. All afternoon. They walked through the shadows, light headed with hunger and the sweet smelling pine. The ground was springy underfoot. By the time that the light began to fade late in the evening, they had still seen no sign of life and knew that they would have to go without much food that day for their own, stocks were running low. We must at least find somewhere to stay for the night, said Lucky. I wouldn't care to end up as carrion, his fender, his father, so afraid of wolves, said Thaw Hand smiled to himself. Restless and fleet of foot thie, Alfie ran ahead again and again, scouting out the forest for Thor and lock in his sister. Now he came back with the news that he had found a glade not far ahead, with a curious kind of hall standing in the middle of it. When they reached the glade, thought and Lucky walked round the hole, I puzzled them, too, although there seemed to be no door. The whole of one end of the hall was open. The opening was as high as the whole was high on Does Why does It was wide on the whole itself, Wass enormous. Any of the holes in Ascot, even Valhalla could have fitted inside it. And this place will keep the rain off our backs said lucky. And here it leased. The damp will not seep into our bones. The gods and the Alfie and Rusk for was so worn. We're travelling all day That hungry though they were, they very quickly settled and fell asleep at midnight. However, all four of them were shocked out of this. The they heard a terrible growling. The noise grew louder. It grew so loud that the whole began to rock can sway Thor and Loki and Theo. Alfie and Rusk first started to their feet on the ground, shuddered under them on earthquake, shouted thought Thie Alfie on Roscoe for stood wide eyed. Then they hugged one another. Let's get out, said Lucky. I don't want to be flattened than stiff as a plank. At this moment, however, the ground stopped shaking the earth under ceased as abruptly as it had begun on the night, was a silent as it had Bean before. Outside is no safer than inside said so.
