Pippi is embarking on her father's sailing-ship Hoppetossa. On the quay all children in the town, the policemen Kling and Klang, Miss Prysselius and a brass-band are gathered for a farewell-salutation. Tommy and Annika are sitting at the ground weeping. Pippi tries to console them, but in vain. She becomes uncertain if she really should go away with her father, or change her mind and stay with her friends.
