Readers of the imaginative romances

will be familiar with the horrors therein
described which surround the Maelstrom,
that famous region of whirling waters
situated between two of the Lofoden
Islands on the northwestern coast of
Norway. Though often described as a
whirlpool, the dreaded stream IS in
reality a swiftly moving current running
in a narrow strait, where the water is
dangerously rough. Every twelve hours
the stream makes o circular revolution,
which fact has probably given rise to
the maay fabulous tales of ships being
eWallGwed M n the vortex. The partieu-
lar causes leading to the formation of this
dangerous eddy have long mystified
~navigators, and the reputation of the
locality has been cons dered affected by
the frequent occurrence of violent
storms. suddenly breaking out from the
