Dixon says that half the camp can hear Mason when he talks in
his sleep in an unintelligible language.
Mason feels that his experiences are rushing by him and he does
not really feel a part of them. It's Mason's mopery at it's finest.
Everyone is preoccupied with the actions of Stig, the axemen.
He catches Light-Fingers McFee rummaging through his sea chest. McFee
finds a document and attempts to take it but is chased by Stig. They
fight over it until a policeman, Continuation Joe, detains them and and
takes a look at the document, which reveals that Stig is a spy for
"certain principals in Sweden" who believe Pennsylvania really belongs
to the Swedes.
Stig tells a story of how the vikings once occupied North
America and waxes more mystical and mysterious as he talks on. Finally
Captain Shelby asks Stig to admit he's not really Swedish. Stig vaguely
admits he is of a more northern people.
