Long weeks afterward, when Mother Bear's wounds were healed, and

Odin and Olga had indeed learned how to live by diving and hunting

under water, they came to a narrow bay where the land was green on

both sides. The distance from their iceberg was but little; and they

plunged in, while Mr. Burgomaster circled over them excitedly. He was a

wonderful mariner, Mr. Burgomaster, and, being such a good friend, he

had flown back and forth over land and sea, following them on their

icy ship.

"You'll know where you are, Mrs. Bear, when this fog lifts," he said.

"You will find that you have come to a beautiful shore where there are

berries and all kinds of refreshing things that bears like. It was a

good day that the iceberg started you on your trip."

"All things, Mr. Burgomaster," said wonderful Mother Bear, as she

crawled out of the water and shook her shaggy fur, "all things happen

for the best!"
