Jarl Hansen Quotes

“Young Jarl Hansen, goaded by the mean and vicious Mate, Heinrich the Bull, jumps ship in South Australia and becomes a hunted person until the spirit wind, invoked by Nunganee, the Aboriginal, comes to his aid.”

“Jarl heard the shout as his tired arms lifted and fell at his paddling, and his legs, starting to rub raw, gripped the wayward raft which he straddled. For a moment, he thought it was the cry of the seabirds that were stirring in the morning.”

“When Jarl went back on deck later, the big man from ashore was there. ‘Hullo, lad, you look a bit young to be on this ship. Do you speak English?’ ′ My mother was English. I am Norwegian.”
