Then his daughter came to him and said it was getting late, that he
ought to rest for a while, and that the supper was on the table. "What you have
been carving is very beautiful, grandfather," said she. "Holger Danske and the
old coat of arms; it seems to me as if I have seen the face somewhere." "No,
that is impossible," replied the old grandfather; "but I have seen it, and I
have tried to carve it in wood, as I have retained it in my memory. It was a

when we showed that we were true, ancient Danes.
"No, that is
impossible," replied the old grandfather; "but I have seen it, and I have tried
to carve it in wood, as I have retained it in my memory. It was a long time ago,
while the English fleet lay in the roads, on the second of April, when we showed
that we were true, ancient Danes. I was on board the Denmark, in Steene Bille's
squadron; I had a man by my side whom even the cannon balls seemed to fear. He
sung old songs in a merry voice, and fired and fought as if he were something
more than a man.
I still remember his face, but from whence he came, or
whither he went, I know not; no one knows. I have often thought it might have
been Holger Danske himself, who had swam down to us from Kronenburg to help us
in the hour of danger. That was my idea, and there stands his likeness." The
wooden figure threw a gigantic shadow on the wall, and even on part of the
ceiling; it seemed as if the real Holger Danske stood behind it, for the shadow
moved; but this was no doubt caused by the flame of the lamp not burning
steadily.
