A VISIT TO THE NORTH CAPE AND NORWAY. Feb., 1891 . 
18. —The interior of the cathedral, east end, showing the restoration 
of the very elegant and unique slender shafts with arched ribs ; 
these are built in grey stone and white marble. 
19. —Thorwalsden’s celebrated colossal figure of Christ. This is a 
cast from the original marble figure at Copenhagen, and was pre¬ 
sented by the sculptor to the Trondhjem Cathedral. 
20. —The Bridge over the Nid at Trondhjem. 
21. —A curious old stone carving over the office of the Mineral Water 
Co.; subject, “ Moses striking the Bock,” Moses being repre¬ 
sented in the costume of the mineral water craft, and the 
children of Israel hurrying up to drink from the spring of 
mineral water. 
22. —An admiring crowd watching the process of making a sketch of 
Moses and Co. 
23. —Lerfos, a waterfall in the river, near Trondhjem. 
24. — First view of the great island rock, Torghatten, a remarkable rock 
standing up alone in the open sea, about 800ft. in height, and 
called, from a fancied resemblance to a floating hat, Torghsetta, 
or market hat. It has a singular natural archway pierced 
through it, at about two-thirds of the height, which is a special 
object for tourists to visit. The legend is that the hole was made 
by the Old Gentleman shooting an arrow through the hat. 
25. —Is a view, taken during the ascent to the archway, which 
presented fine views, and quantities of flowers were found on the 
way. 
26. —The entrance to the archway, which is there 60ft. in height; 
the archway is 240ft. in length through the rock, and slopes 
down steeply to the other end, which is more than 200ft. in 
height. 
27. —The view from the other end, which is very striking and 
beautiful, looking over an expanse of sea, studded with a number 
of small islands. 
28. —A group of tourists on the steamer, after leaving Torghatten. 
29. —One of the Lofoden Islands, “ Ost Yaago; ” these are an 
extensive group of islands, standing out to sea at a distance of 
two hours’ steaming from the mainland, and resembling the 
Hebrides in position, but with very remarkable bold, jagged, 
mountain outlines. In calm weather, as was fortunately the 
case when we were there, the tourist steamer goes out between 
two of the islands into the open sea beyond, returning through 
another narrow rocky passage, the Raftsund,” which is 
specially fine in scenery. 
30. —Another view in going round the island of Ost Yaago. 
31. —Yiew in passing through the Raftsund. 
32. —Photograph from a sketch taken of the most remarkable moun¬ 
tain outline in the Raftsund, called the “ Shark’s Teeth,” from 
its very jagged outline. Some farm houses are seen near the 
shore, and there is an extensive fishing carried on in these islands 
in the early part of the year. 
33. —Photograph from a sketch, taken from the steamer, of the remark¬ 
able outline of the Lofodens. The upper figure shows the 
striking outline of one isolated mountain rock, that stands up 
nearly vertical on one face. 
34. —The town of Tromsoe, where we all landed, to go a couple of 
miles up Tromsoedal, for the purpose of seeing a Lapp encamp¬ 
ment, with a herd of 200 reindeer.
