From Sir. C. Morclaunt's diary : 



During the summer I fished two rivers in the Nord Fjord in Norway, 

 where the sea trout run to a great size. During one day my brother and I 

 caught two in the same pool which Aveighed 2111). each, an unusual size for a 

 fish of this description. On the way home from on bcjard one of the coasting 

 steamboats I saw the entire Folgefond Glacier, which can only be seen on a 

 very fine day. It is thirty miles in lengtli, and nine miles in breadth, and is 

 one of the largest glaciers in the world.
