BIRD-CATCHING IN NORWAY. 52? 



mer; on this they will run up and down, and take the 

 birds at their pleasure. 



" It is not to be described how frightful and dangerous this 

 bird-catching appears to the beholders, particularly to con- 

 sider the vast height, and how excessive steep these rocks 

 are, and many projecting over the sea. It appears impos- 

 sible for any human creature to get into the holes of them, 

 and more impossible to climb up them, and yet these adven- 

 turous people scale them. They go sometimes where they 

 can but just pitch the end of their toes, or lay hold with 

 their fingers ; yet this does not frighten them, though there 

 is hundred fathoms down or more to the sea under them. 

 This must be dear-earned bread for these poor people, for 

 which they so imminently hazard their lives, and many, 

 after long practice, still fall a sacrifice themselves." 



THE END.
