Free and happy as a bird I flew over the billows, in the pilot's light yawl we cruised about among the skerries shooting ducks, eider-ducks, and seals, in his deck-boat we steered out far to sea trolling for mackerel, and when he got a ship to pilot in, I sailed the boat home, sometimes alone, sometimes in company with the pilot's boy. [1886, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, translated by H.L. Brækstad, Folk and Fairy Tales, page 181:]
