PLAN OF ACTION ' CHAPTER IV T IKE warm, muscular animal, Snivels was watching nim, ' "Come." she said. "This beating hmit lh bush. Out with it." "Lars, do you have outboard motors?" "Vm." the old man cried ex' cltedlv. "Of course. Three of . them." . "I uunt vmi to nut them in safe place. If anyone . . . mind you. anyone . . . comes in asking about them, tell him they're sold. Understand?" "Of course. What else? I can take care of more than motors.' For the first time Gunnar smiled. "There's time for that," he Raid. All three heard the little bell tinkle at the front door of the shop. The old man hesitated, then went nut wist the curtain. "What do you want?" Solveig sked her husband tensely. Hb nut a hand on her arm, Thev listened. It was Kasper Tor- gersen outside, asking the old man lor cotton thread. They heard his , gruff voice. While Malken was evidently looking through the " drawers, they heard him inquir- ' tag how the fishermen took the confiscation. "Alter aii," lorgcr sen was saying, "I own a third of those boats. If I don't com plain, surely they have no Tight" Gunnar beckoned to Solveig and they went out "Good morning, Herr Torgersen." "You are a leader of the rnenr ' Torgersen said now slowly. "They will not forget your work last ' winter with the fleet," He made a pause and then added, "We will hold you responsible for keeping order." "You mean . . -1 mean that first and foremost I am a Norwegian. You know that ' well enough. The interests of the men are my interests. But I feel . . . that is, I am sure ... we can accomplish a great deal more if we do not act rashly. That lamentable business in Stoksund yester : day ..." "Where did you hear about that, Herr Torgersen?" The smile left his face. "Why . . . . ifs all over town. I want to . assure you, of course, that any action you may feel obliged to take will have my support ... as a Nor ., wegian, you understand ... my full support, even if I disagree. - But . . ." "Suppose ..." Gunnar drew close, peering toward the door first .as if he wanted to make sure they . jcould not be overheard. "Suppose ' jl were to tell you that there is a ' mlan on foot to overpower the guard, cut loose the boats, and set call for England." rpOHGERSEN flushed, looked at the storekeeper, whose mouth : dropped open in horror, and then back at Gunnar. "Are you mad?" . he. snapped. "That would be theft." And then as an afterthought, "Be sides, you wouldn't get 50 miles. ' But ... but of course, you are Joking. , - - . . "Yes," said Solveig. "We are ' foking."; j. She and Gunnar went out i. "Our men have been fighting In Stoksund," Gunnar said slowly. ; "The dogs," she burst -out and . . delighted smile spread over her . tiroad face. "I saw Dr. Stensgard less than an hour ego. He spent half the night with Kn'ut Osterholm's cousin, who escaped." "What does it mean? What about the boats?" . "He brought news that guns are : to be landed all along the coast" They stopped talking for several minutes because the old school , . master, Sixtus Andresen, was -, coming toward them. He stepped along slowly with a cane, keep ing his wrinkled white head up to get tne sun in ms lace. - "Good morning, Master Andre - sen." "Good morning, Fru Brogge, The aged gentleman bowed slowly In his invariably courteous way, ana went on. Gunnar said in a lower voice, "It would be good to include him if he were not so old. He hates them more than most" They both " remembered how the doctor had said that old Andresen was the ' only one among them who really knew how to fight the Germans '' without guns. . ' Solveig looked after him. She . heard her husband say, "Ja, we , don't have to wait any longer. . The fight is coming here too, and we can begin to make ready for a." She started rolling down her ' sleeves. "Are you crazy?" she asked, grown more serious. Her voice was no more than a whis. per. "We have no guns yet, and already you talk of fiEhtina. Maybe you can say that to Malken or to those down on the dock, but not to me." She was button- . ing ber cuffs. "Not to me," she repeated a little more loudly. Gunnar's face grew dark. "Ev ery man who works in this town," lie Bdiu ueri:eiy, "will De Wltn us. I don't count the Torgersens and the old women. But if we wait until the whole country is ready ft will be too late. They made no plans in Stoksund, and so they were slaughtered before they had a chance." "Good enough," she said im patiently, "good enough, but you .' have only the doctor's word." "I've thought of that. We meet tonight at Osterholm's to talk to , the man Hammer, and outline a plan of action." , "What do we do?" " "First," he said slowly, "we must collect gasoline from every man in town' and hide it in a safe place." He was walking with head bowed, hands clenched in !the pockets of his trousers. "I ItMnkJ have. worked out a plan. It's been going through my nea3 for months, and now that this has come about it begins to grow clear. We will talk about it tonight I think it is a way by which . . . by which we could even win." Solveig, seeing the strange, in tent look to his eyes, realized why in this unsure, disjointed world, men looked up to him. She was proud. "Tonight then," she said, "don't talk nonsense. And make very sure before you start You know the men will follow you." They passed a shop window where dusty little dolls in peasant costumes, green and red, with Norwegian flags in the hems of their dresses, had been lying since the summer of the year before. The shoemaker's wife had used to sew them for the tourists. "I am sure," he said suddenly. A dozen pictures raced through his brain, but his dark, expres sionless face gave no sign. Men, trenches, barricades. "Before the fighting ' ever starts," he said thoughtfully, "each man will have his special -task. It we wait for the snow, we can use skis." The sun rose higher and higher. The sea lay calm. The stern ridged hills, like giants, gazed down at the little shelf of land where the town la-, in terrible peace, between them and the sea. The boats, with slender masts, sat empty in the placid water of the harbor. The pigeons wheeled higher over the tense and silent square. "Give me the names." He looked carefully about Then, taking her arm, he started to list them off to her. She re peated after him to get them sure in her mind. They pressed close to each other, walking side by side.
