How he wept and stormed ! ` Oh , light of my eyes , ' he sobbed ; ' I am indeed punished for my pride . I thought no one good enough to be your husband , and now you are lost in the depths of the sea , and have left me alone ! As for all of you who saw this thing -- away with you ! Let them be put in irons and lock them up in prison , whilst I think how I can best put them to death ! ' Whilst the King of Busan was raging and lamenting in this fashion , Simon 's ship was swimming like any fish under the sea , and when the island was well out of sight he brought it up to the surface again . At that moment the princess recollected herself . ` Nurse , ' said she , ` we have been gazing at these wonders only too long . I hope my father wo n't be vexed at our delay . ' She tore herself away and stepped on deck . Neither the yacht nor the island was in sight ! Helena wrung her hands and beat her breast . Then she changed herself into a white swan and flew off . But the fifth Simon seized his bow and shot the swan , and the sixth Simon did not let it fall into the water but caught it in the ship , and the swan turned into a silver fish , but Simon lost no time and caught the fish , when , quick as thought , the fish turned into a black mouse and ran about the ship . It darted towards a hole , but before it could reach it Simon sprang upon it more swiftly than any cat , and then the little mouse turned once more into the beautiful Princess Helena . Early one morning King Archidej sat thoughtfully at his window gazing out to sea . His heart was sad and he would neither eat nor drink . His thoughts were full of the Princess Helena , who was as lovely as a dream . Is that a white gull he sees flying towards the shore , or is it a sail ? No , it is no gull , it is the wonder-ship flying along with billowing sails .
Its flags wave , the fiddlers play on the wire rigging , the anchor is thrown out and the crystal plank laid from the ship XXXXX the pier .
