Thor (wearing a winged helmet) attempts to drain a huge drinking horn - he doesn’t realise that the end of the horn is in the sea. Two giants look on amused.
Text-
Thor took a deep draught. To his surprise the horn seemed almost as full as before. He
drank again, and this time thought he had emptied it. But it was still nearly as full, and Thor became angry. He took a third pull and drank till his breath failed him; but even then he saw that only a small part of the contents had gone.

The giants challenge Thor to a drinking contest. He is tricked into trying to drain the ocean. He doesn’t succeed but his mighty draughts do produce the tides. Delightful illustration from Newnes Pictorial Knowledge (1936)
