His father sent him to service in strange farms, hoping that perhaps among strangers the loiterer might become a good, industrious man ; but who- ever tried him for one week always sent him back the next. His parents scolded him as an idler, and his brothers called him Sleepy Tonnis, although he had been baptized George. When, however, he became unbearable and no one would employ him, his father sent him as a servant on a strange ship, partly because he could not run away on the sea, partly bec...ause from childhood the boy had loved the water. Notwithstanding, after a few weeks, he had escaped from the ship, and was again on dry land. As he was ashamed to set foot in his parents' house, where he dared not hope for a friendly reception, he wandered from one place to 44 THE MERMAID another trying to gain his Hving without working. He was a fine, strong young fellow, and could talk very pleasantly if he liked, although in his father's house he had never troubled to speak much. Now he was obliged to make the best of himself, and use smooth words, for he knew how with them to in- gratiate himself with the women and maidens.
