Why the Sea is Salt (11)
The report of the wonderful mill spread far and wide and there was no one who had not heard of it.
After a long, long time there came a skipper who wished to see the hand-mill.
He asked if it could make salt.
" Yes, it can make salt, " said the man who owned it.
When the skipper heard that he wished with all his might to have the will, let it cost what it might, for, he thought, if he had it, he would no longer have to sail far away over the perilous sea for freights of salt.
At first the man would not hear of parting with it, but the skipper begged , and at last the man sold it to him, and got many, many thousand dollars for it.
When the skipper had got the mill on his back he did not stay there long, for he was so afraid that the man should change his mind.
The skipper had no time to ask he was to stop it grinding, but got on board his ship as fast as he could.
