217. BERGEN MUSEUM, Bergen. Ancient Bow and Arrows used to 

 kill the whale (Balsenoptera rostrata), also Lances and Harpoons, two knives used to cut the fat 

 and flesh, etc. On a certain part of the western coast of Norway, whales pass through the narrow 

 inlet of a fjord and fail to find their way back again. When swimming around the bay, the 

 whale would be observed at once, and the fishermen try to kill it by means of a single pointed 

 iron arrow, only five or six inches long. The mode of proceeding was to shoot from the bow 

 an arrow with a loose iron point up in the air in such a manner that it would fall down per- 

 pendicularly and strike the body of the whale. Iron points, made of old ship bolts and rather 

 rusty, would be preferred as the best for the purpose. When struck by the iron the whale 

 would swim about for twenty-four or thirty hours, and then float up to the surface of the water 

 dead or poisoned, having a wound a foot or more in diameter around the place where the iron 

 had struck ; the iron point itself would be found worked down to the backbone, or some vital 

 part. As the shaft of the arrow was loose, of wood, and marked with the owner s initials, it 

 would get detached from the iron point and float, and thus show which of the fishermen, if 

 more than one had shot, had killed the whale. After having cut out the wounded part with a 

 special knife, men arid women from all the farms around the bay, being the whole time 

 on the look out, would meet with their whale knives and cut out of the whale their 

 special and long predetermined pieces, and bring them home for food. These implements are 

 still in occasional use.
