Tug of War by Jonas Lie For the last two or three days, the weather had been terrific. But on the third day, it was so far cleared up that one of the men who belonged to the fishing station thought that they might manage to drag the nets a bit that day. The others, however, were not inclined to venture out. Now it is the custom for various crews to land each other a hand in pushing off the boats, and so it happened now. When, however, they came to the femb working, which was drawn up a good distance ashore, they found the oars and forts turned upside down in the boat, and, more than that, despite all their exertions, it was impossible to move the boat from the spot. They tried once, twice, thrice, but it was of no use. But then one of them, who was known to have second sight, said that, from what he saw, it would be best not to touch the boat at all that day. It was too heavy for the might of man to move. One of the crew, however, who belonged to the fishing station, he was a smart lad of 14, was amusing them all the time with all manner of pranks and tomfoolery. He now caught up a heavy stone and pitched it with all his might right into the stern of the boat. Then, suddenly, and plainly visible to them all, out of the boat rushed a frog in Siemens' clothes, but with a heavy crop of seaweed instead of a head. It had been weighing down the boat by sitting in the stern, and now dashed into the sea so that the foam spurted all over them. After that, the femb working glided quite smoothly into the water. Then the man with second sight looked at the boy, and said that he should not have done so. But the lad went on laughing as before, and said he didn't believe in such stuff. When they had come home in the evening, and the folks lay asleep in the fishing station, they heard, about twelve o'clock at night, the lad yelling for help. It even seemed to one of them, by the light of the train oil lamp, as if a heavy hand were stretching forward from the door right up to the bench on which the lad lay. The lad, yelling and struggling, had already been dragged as far as the door before the others, had so far come to their senses, as to think to grasp him around the body, to prevent him from being dragged right out. And now, in mid-doorway, a hard fight began. The dog dragged him by the legs, while the whole crew tugged against him with the boy's arms and upper limbs. Thus amidst yelling and groaning, they swayed to and fro, all through the midnight hour, backwards and forwards, in the half-open door. And now the drug, and now the men, had the most of the boy on their side of the doorway. All at once the drug let go, so that the whole crew fell higgly-piggly backwards on the floor. Then they found that the boy was dead. It was only then that the drug had let him go. The End of "Cug of War" by Jonas Lie. It's time for today's Lucky Land Horoscope with Victoria Cash.
