Fly-Leaf From The Diary Of A Norwegian Cruise.
FLY-LEAF FROM THE DIARY OF A NORWEGIAN CRUISE .
By Bro . John Chapman P . Prov . G . D . Devon . A CRUISE through the Fjords of Norway , with the attractions of the modern steam yacht , which has now become a trip of ordinary attainment for the English tourist , and which therefore obviates the necessity for dwelling upon the preliminary of a voyage in the steam yacht , " The
Midnight Sun , ' a fine screw steamer of 3 , 020 tons register , and with 2 , 860 horse power , that started with us from the Tyne , for her North-Sea passage , to the iron bound coast of Norway ; will be the theme for a few interesting notes of novel adventure which marked my course through the land of the Vikings .
After a lovely passage of about thirty-six hours , from Newcastle , we were within the fascinating range of the snow-capped mountains of Norway . Arriving at Vik , early in the morning before wo had partaken of our first meal ; our boat anchored in seventy fathoms of water , which gave us an opportunity to survey the beauties of Vik , and the surrounding mountains and fjords . Hiring some Carjols ( carriages ) , that rattled us over some five miles oi
fearfully rough road , we came to a small hillside hostelry where we engaged ponies for the " Vonngfos "—one of the finest , if not the finest , waterfall in Norway . These sure-footed animals carried us over rickety bridges , through rushing mountain streams , and up the foot of the mountain , within easy reach of the great waterfall , where we had a magniheient view of the Voringfos . The water is gathered from the melting snow-fields some 3 , 500
feet high , while the lower waterfall forms a grand cataract of about 600 feet high , that leaps from a shelf in the cleft of the rock , and which receives the accumulated waters of thc upper fall . The wonderful effect of this immense volume of water amply repays the tourist for his efforts . If we had been content with the view of the celebrated waterfall , at this point , and had followed tho majestic rush of water that madly plunged at our feet ; instead of jielding to the uvertures of our guides , to scale the summit oi themountain
on nur iNoiwigian | oino . s ; v . i should have displayed an amount of discretion , at the sacrifice oi a little ad . enture , for the tortuous and dangerous narrow path that had been excavated in zig-zags up to the fearful side of the mountain was almost too much for these clever young horses , that were trained t to leap and jump from point to point like young mountain goats . In climbing up thc blaming side ol this unprotected ascent , that was only about thiLC lout wide , we had occasionally to scramble over an immense untjuaiikd reck thut pnjccteu ucrcss our path , and which severely taxed

tbe efforts of my brave young steed . I never imagined that the dangerous path we were then ascending would be the one we should have to return by , or I should never have ventured up to the summit of the mountain . However , we eventfully arrived safe at the top , where we found a refreshment
booth . The magnificient stretch of scenery that met our gaze at every point of the compass , as we stood entranced with the immense snowfields , the distant snow-capped mountains , and the rushing angry waters that were leaping over the mountain gorge , made us feel that we were amply repaid for the risks we had run in making the ascent .
Having explored the interesting features of this Arctic region , and refreshed the inner man with the simple viands our worthy host had laid before us , I prepared for getting into the saddle again for the return journey . My intention evidently alarmed the owner of the pony , who seriously thought I was contemplating suicide and the destruction of his horse ( for the rule on these occasions is for the tourist to walk down the mountain while the guide
leads the horse ) , so he most imploringly said , " You are not going to ride down the mountain ? " "Oh yes I am 1 " I said , for I felt that I was unable to get down any other way , ancl also feeling sure that if I could only stick on the back of my nimblo young pony that it would do the return dangerous descent better than I could , so getting well fixed in my saddle I led the way down the mountain side , the rest of the company intimating that I should
never see them again , and thnt I should never be able to escape being dashed to pieces over the fearful unprotected abyss . Nevertheless , with the courage of an old trooper I lit my pipe nnd led the way for our little cavalcade down the mountain , at times sliding over large pieces of smooth rock , leaping several openings in the path , or struggling through a snowfall ; I stuck , however , like grim death to my charger , doing feats of horsemanship worthy
of the military hero of the Alps . The ship ' s company who were following on foot , concluded that I was to the manner born ; but after two hours' stiff ride , with all the risks of being ever and anon pitched over a fearful precipice of hundreds of feet , into the waters beneath , I arrived safe at the foot of the mountain . So severe had been the strain upon the muscle of the knees during those two hours , that when I dismounted I was unable to stand on
my feet for a time , and when I made the effort to come down the ten foot rope ladder into the steam launch , it was done in such a crippled form that the Lieutenant in merry laugh said , " Why don't you come down on your horse ? " evidently regarding my equestrian effort as being more brilliant than that of the rope ladder . The general topic on board " The Midnight Sun " during the dinner that evening was the pleasures and risks of the escapade , in trying to find the source of the great Voringfos .
Our contemporary , the " Graphic , " devoted considerable attention to the Boyal Masonic Institution for Girls in its issue of the 21 st inst ., several interesting photos being reproduced , together with a brief sketch of the Institution . The many
supporters of the School throughout the country who have not yet been able to personally visit it will no doubt appreciate the faithful reproductions we refer to , which deserve to be kept as a memento of one of the finest Masonic works of the age .
