This
was
the
coming
of
the
White
Storbuk
for
the
folk
of
Filefjeld.
In
the
two
years
that
followed
he
became
famous
throughout
that
country
as
Sveggum's
Storbuk,
and
many
a
strange
exploit
was
told
of
him.
In
twenty
minutes
he
could
carry
old
Sveggum
round
the
six-mile
rim
of
Utrovand.
When
the
snow-slide
buried
all
the
village
of
Holaker,
it
was
the
Storbuk
that
brought
the
word
for
help
to
Opdalstole
and
returned
again
over
the
forty
miles
of
deep
snow
in
seven
hours,
to
carry
brandy,
food,
and
promise
of
speedy
aid.
When
over-venturesome
young
Knute
Sveggumsen
broke
through
the
new
thin
ice
of
Utrovand,
his
cry
for
help
brought
the
Storbuk
to
the
rescue;
for
he
was
the
gentlest
of
his
kind
and
always
ready
to
come
at
call.
He
brought
the
drowning
boy
in
triumph
to
the
shore,
and
as
they
crossed
the
Vand-dam
stream,
there
was
the
Troll-bird
to
sing:
Good
luck,
good
luck,
With
the
White
Storbuk.
After
which
he
disappeared
for
months--doubtless
dived
into
some
subaqueous
cave
to
feast
and
revel
all
winter;
although
Sveggum
did
not
believe
it
was
so.
