BERGEN, NORWAY, July ., 1886.
We have now been in Norway nearly
or quite three weeks. aud have taken the
trip 70 the North Cape, the most norther-
" point OF land In Europe. We spent
five DAYS in the Arctic Ocean and were
exceedingly fortunate in seeing the mid
night sun three times out of the five days
there.
The North Ctpe Is in Lat i degrees,
30 minutes, 10 seconds, and Is only about
1890 miles from the porth pole. From
Msy 10 until into August, over eight
weeks. the sun does not set AZ the North
Cape and for about three months in win
ter the sun does not rise there, aqd yet
people live up in this Arctic region 10
large numbers and the winter is their
great fishing season. Ii Is said that
5.OOO vessels are 70 be seen il these
waters In winter fishing. Their long
winter night il made light by the north
ern light which ia these northern lati-
tudes Is very brilliant most of the time.
Notwithstanding II is In so high lati-
tude the temperature does not go much
below 10 degrees below zero in the win
ter, owing 10 the influence Of the Gulf
Stream on this northern coast, but inland
il goes ~ 10 80 below.
Whale catching as well as fishing is
carried on here, and We visited whaling
station where four whales had recently
been brought in. We also saw several
i'm the ocean. snd one young whale, per-
haps thirty feet long jumped entirely out
of water near our ship, 10 the great de-
light Of all who saw il. Our captain,
Who has followed the ocean forty wears,
and been all over the world, said he
never saw the sight but once before, 30
we consider We were greatly favored.
was greatly surprised at the size of the
mouth of the whale. As the throat Is
small supposed the mouth was also,
but found the upper jaw about the size
of a moderate size row boat. The larg-
est one of the four we saw was 8! feet
long, aud large whale weighs about 30
tons.
A whaling ship was wrecked by q
whale about the time we reached there.
When harpooned If not killed by the hsr-
poon they sometimes get in contact with
their tail, and stave in the ship with
and sink the ship. The crew in this case
all got off in their row boats and none
were lost. The captain told Us one or
more whaling ships were usually lost
every season in this way up there.
We have found il rather cold portion
of the time here, when we are on high
attitudes, but at other times warm and
comfortable, and We find here an endless
variety Of mountain scenery and numer-
Gus waterfalls, hundreds Of them 200 to
1000 feet In height.
We spend another week in this coun-
try and then we go 10 Denmark, from
thence 10 Sweden, Russia, Finlsnd,
Austris, Switzerland, France and Eng
land. We sail from Liverpool TO New
York Sept. 18th, so IL everything goes
well shall reach home about Sept. goth.
