84 ing. He imagined that, that he would not be the more in-
quisitive, even though he went in the boat, and thus he did.
He went out on the boat and rowed from land. At that
87 moment the wind began to blow, and he was driven out to
sea. The clothes of costly material (pell) were not as good
for him in the heavy seas as they were lovely and costly on
90 land. Now he was nine days at sea and began now to chide
himself that he abandoned fine and good advic. At last he
reached land; it was an island. As soon as he could, he
93 jumped overboard and waded to land. It turned out for
him then—as has been said—that seldom is one on his
guard if he is wet. He now had to walk, where he was ac-

he got on the boat, and immediately it ran with him out
to sea for three days and three nights, so that Prince
Partalopi was then both without food and also without
drink. He suffered also in addition great wetness. He then
called upon God and all the saints for help, and finally the
boat glided to an island. Now Partalopi went ashore there
and saw a castle, and after that he went there. There a
