- This was Hymir's wife, Tyr's mother. She was dressed in golden alarming; she carried two of the tiniest giant thimbles, which she had filled with beer. Thor and Tyr gripped the thimbles, which were the size of buckets, and they drank the beer with enthusiasm.
- [...]
- Thor ripped off the beast's head, placed it in his sack, and carried it down to the sea.
- Hymir was in the boat. He had already cast off and was rowing out of the bay.
- Thor jumped into the cold water and swam out, hauling his sack behind him. He grabbed the back of the boat with numb fingers, then hauled himself onboard, dripping with seawater, ice crusting his red beard.
- "Ah," said Thor. "that was fun. Nothing to wake you up on a cold morning like a good swim."
- Hymir said nothing. Thor took the other set of oars, and they began to row together. Soon enough the land was gone and they were alone on the waters of the northern sea. The ocean was grey, the waves were choppy and high, and the wind and the seagulls screamed.
- Hymir stopped rowing. "We will fish here," he said.
- "Here?" asked Thor. "We've hardly gone out into the sea at all." And he picked up the oars and began singelhandedly to row them into deeper waters.
- The boat flew across the waves.
- "Stop!" boomed Hymir. "These waters are dangerous. This is where Jormungunder, the Midgard serpentm is to be found."
- Thor stopped rowing.
- [...]
- Hymir bailed the water, and Thor rowed back to shore. The two whales that Hymir had caught earlier, at the prow of the boat, made the rowing harder than it normally would have been.
- "There's the shore," gasped Hymir. "But my home is still many miles distant."
- "We could make land here," said Thor.
- "Only if you are willing to carry the boat and me and the two whales I caught all the way to my hall," said Hymir, exhausted.
- "Mm. All right."
- Thor jumped over the side of the fishing boat. A few moments later, Hymir felt the boat rising into the air. Thor was carrying them on his back: boats, oars, Hymir and whales, carrying them along the shingle at the edge of the sea.
- When they reached Hymir's hall, Thor lowered the boat the ground.
