 But there is a sad feature to the occa- sion as the season is invariably attended with a great loss of life Sudden west erly gales spring up, rendering return to the islands by boats impossible and many of them are driven 15 miles out to sea where they capsize, Sometimes the unfortunate ones survive by clinging to the keel of the overturned boat and so often does this catastrophe occur that all of the keels are equipped with handles for the men to cling to.

HOW we all love to read of a land

 The closest approach to such a realm is probably to be found today during a summer in Scandinavia. a land where it is always day.
 While this phenomenon obtains in swe- den as well as in Norway, it is around the latter country that the spell of fas- cihation hangs, for here the ford is an exclusively characteristic feature and the close proximity of such placid stretches of sheen and glistern to the snowy sub llnlity of peak and pinacle weaves a tap estry of scenic glory that delights the eye, entrances the heart and is fit only for the ray of a perpetual sun.
