The Laerdal river, which flows
into the western Sognefjord, is Of
ten referred to as the best salmon
river in the world. Fifty miles
long, it has about 16 miles of sal
mon and sea-trout water. s..
The village of Laerdal, at the
mouth of the river, is reached by
modern ferry steamer, carrying
700 passengers and 20 cars, from
Bergen, or from Oslo by railroad
and bus. Either trip takes about
day.
Sognefjord has several other
good game fish rivers, including
Aardal river, where the sea trout is
particularly big, and Aaro river
which boasts the highest average
weight of salmon caught in Nor
way.
Elsewhere on the West Coast,
anglers will find excellent fishing
in Nordfjord, Romsdal, Hordaland,
and Nordmore, and many other
places.
In the central province of Tron-
delag, there is Namsen river, where
salmon weighing so lbs are caught
every season.

Danish Expedition Found Men Deep Sea Animal Life
Scientists Arrive In San Francisco; In serpens

Bizarre Ocean Creatures Seen"
is the caption of an Associated
Press dispatch datelined San Fran
cisco, upon the recent arrival of
theDanish Deep Sea 'Galathea"
Expedition.
Some bizarre creatures from a
hitherto UNEMPLOYED part of the
world were shown for the first
time by a Danish scientific ex-
petition. Little animals which
lived at the bottom-most depths
of the sea under terrific pressure
and near-freezing temperature
made up the most spectacular part
of the display.
These hitherto unknown varie-
ties of animal life were taken in
the Pacific near the Philippine Is
lands by scientists aboard tn e
Danish frigate Galathea, who were
the first to scrape bottom in the
greatest depths of the sea.
One of the things brought back
by the scientific head of the ex-
petition, DR.. Anton F. Bruun, was
a belief in the existence of sea
serpents. However, the expedition
didn't see anything of the kind.
Its greatest feat was to drag the
bottom of the johnson deep, more
than $4,000 feet down, of the coast
of Mindanao, southernmost main
island of the Philippines. Small
buckets of ooze brought up from
there and from lesser depths
yielded hundreds of new animal
species never before seen, DR..
Bruun reported. The deepest places
yielded nine new kinds of animals
-crustaceans, worms, mussels and
a new species of sea anemone,
which also is an animal.
The exploring demonstrated, DR.
Bruun said, that the sea bottom
even at its deepest, is just as
productive Of food elements as
good farming land; that life ex-
lists everywhere in it's ooze, and
that there are no barren expanses
corresponding to the deserts found
on land.
All the strange animals brought
up from these great depths were
dead when they reached the sur
face because they couldn't stand
the lack of pressure in the 'alti-
tude' of shallow water. However,
some of the bacteria from n e
depths were captured alive in
strong steel cylinders which re-
tanned the great pressure after be-
ing raised from the bottom.
Some of these cylinders are be-
ing examined by DR.. Claude 70

Anyway, she lived to see the con-
tract made by her partners sharp,
thoughtful, well-timed play.
Mr.. Champion led the king OF
hearts and snorted disgustedlv when
Miss Brash ruffed. After taking out
the opposing trumpS in two leads,
Miss Brash stopped to think matters
over.
The controlling cards out against
her were the two black kings. Even
II they were both right" she would
have only 10 tricks in high cards.
Apparently the only chance for IL
tricks was to finesSe the queen of
clubs successfully and then to find
the opposing clubs divided three to
three. A lot to ask-but not much
for Miss Brash.
To f1neSse the queen of clubs Miss
Brash had to get to the board and
the only entry was the ace of spades.
Suppose she led to that card,
f1nessed the queen of clubs, cashed
the ace Of clubs and led a third
club.
Mr.. Abel just might ditch his
king of clubs on the second lead of
the suit so that it would be Mr..
Champion who won the third round.
In that case a lead through the
queen of spades might be disas-
ferrous.
To take care of that possibility
land, as you see, it could have
happened) Miss Brash made beau
tiful lead at the fourth trick. She
played the four of clubs.
Mr.. Champion won with the eight
and returned the ten of spades. Miss
Brash could now afford to finesse
the queen. 1t lost and a spade came
back. She won with the ace and
f1nessed the queen of clubs. When
this held and clubs broke 3-3. a
spade was discarded from dummy
on the 18th club.
