Elf Briskie has been out all night in Katinhäntä. He decides to take a break and say hello to the Sauna Elf Severi. Severi makes coffee and offers Briskie some Wilhelmiina biscuits.
Christmas elf Briskie has been wandering around the Katinhäntä (Cat's Tail) area in a dusky daze for hours. He decides it's time for a statutory break.
Elf Briskie pops into Lang's Trade House to see how the sauna elf Severi is getting on. Severi has lived in sauna of the neighboring Himanka lot, for as long as anyone can remember. Well, Briskie certainly remembers Captain Himanka having held the important office of elf around these parts since the days of tall ships.
The elves are now having a real treat at the trade house, as the matron of the house is a friend of Severi's. She brought him small bags of tasty leftovers from the café.
- The captain had been hired as master of the barque Altai built in Rauma. The ship made several successful voyages around the world under Himanka's command, Severi knows
- Yes, yes, those were the days when ships were made of wood and men of iron, Briskie comments.
