nc maefsrr0n Is current or motion OF the
sea q Norway, the effects of which are no less
singular than dangerous. Between Lofoden and
Moskoc the depth Of the water is between thir-
ty-six and forty faihoms when it is food; the
stream runs up the coantry With abe;..e-c..- -
Pidity, and the rear Of its impetuous ebb 70 the
sea is scarcely equallel by the loudest cataracts
the noise baing heard several leagues off, and
the vortex 30 powerful as to absorb every ship
that comes within its attractions. It Is then
beaten % pieces against the rocks at the bottom,
and when the water is smoother its fragments
are thrown up again. But these intervals of
tranquility happen only At the turn of the ebb
and hcw, and last but quarter of an hour.
Whales frequently come too near the stream, and
are overpowefed by its violence. 1t is then inn
possible TO describe their hovlinss and below
iags in their fruitless attempts 10 disengage
themselves. A bear once attempting to swim
from Lofoden to Moskoe, 10 prey upon the
sheep IN that island, was caught by the stream
and horne down, whilst he roared SO terribly as
to be heard on shore. In the year l645 the
stream ragged with such noise and impetuosity
that ON the island of Moskoe the very stones Of
the houses fell to the ground.
