" But Thor made nothing of the head, slung it over his shoulder, and carried it down to the boat As they got under weigh, Thor and Hymir each took an oar ; but Thor pulled so fast, and with such mighty strokes, that the giant was obliged to stop for breath, and beg that they might go no further. HOW THOR WENT TO JOTUNHEIM. 137 "We have already reached the spot, " he said, " where I always catch the finest whales. " "But I want to go further out to sea, " said Thor. "That will be dangerous, Ving...-Thor, " said Hymir ; " for if we row any further we shall come to the waters under whicli Jormungand lies. " Thor laughed, and rowed on. At last he stopped, baited his hook with the ox's head, and cast the line out into the sea, whilst Hymir leant over the other side of the boat, and caught two whales. Now, when the great Jormungand smelt Thor's bait he opened wide his monstrous jaws, and eagerly sucked in both head, and hook, and line; but no sooner did he feel the pain than he struggled so fiercely, and plunged so wildly, that Thor's hands were in an instant dashed against the sides of the boat.
