Michael Shea was mate on his uncle's ship, the Kronborg, when it put in at the Danish port of Aarhus. The time_about one hundred years ago. Kirstina Brandt came aboard for the long voyage to Boston, and to Aage Nordrupp, her prospective husband. Kirstina was a tall, strong, lovely girl of sixteen, and she wore her hair in thick golden braids reaching almost to her knees. And the moment Michael saw her "he began to laugh deep inside him for the joy of knowing that he had found something that he wanted, and the he meant to get."
