"No one can ever get to the island there,"
said one of our party, pointing to the large
island above the topmost fall.
"I however know one!" said the old man,
and nodded with a peculiar smile.
"Yes, my grandfather could!" said one of
the boys, "scarcely any one besides has crossed
during a hundred years. The cross that is set up
over there was placed there by my grandfather.
It had been a severe winter, the whole of Lake
Venern was frozen; the ice dammed up the
outlet, and for many hours there was a dry
bottom. Grandfather has told about it: he went
over with two others, placed the cross up, and
returned. But then there was such a thundering
and cracking noise, just as if it were cannons.
The ice broke up and the elv came over the
fields and forest. It is true, every word I say!"
One of the travellers cited Tegner:
"Vildt Göta stortade från Fjallen,
Hemsk Trollet från sat Toppfall röt!
Men Snillet kom och sprängt stod Hallen,
Med Skeppen i sitt sköt!"
