THROUGH NORWAY WITH THE VESEY CLUB. APRIL, 1891. 
joined her. She brought with her a party numbering nearly 
fifty, including amongst them no less eminent an individual 
than the President of the Club (Sir Bobert Ball, F.B.S.), who, 
with Lady and Miss Ball, had joined at Leith. The further 
members of this section were :—Mr. S. H. Baker (the well- 
known and genial Secretary of the Eoyal Society of Artists), 
Mr. S. J. Barnes, Mrs. and Miss Barber (Edgbaston), Mr.

Editor of the Journal of Photography), Mrs. Bichard, Miss, 
Miss Elsie, and Mr. A. L. Tangye (Gilbertstone), and Mr. and 
Mrs. F. J. Walker. In the passage out this large contingent 
had found the vessel none too big for their purposes, and I am 
somewhat afraid that from their point of view the overland
