enclosed, had been subject to a downcast of about fifteen 
inches, the alignment of the continuation of the vein being 
quite undisturbed. Near the head of the lake we abandon our 
carrioles, and continue our journey on horseback along a 
narrow “path” (save the mark!) made by the Norwegian 
Tourist Club ; but though as a path it is still somewhat sug¬ 
gestive of the top of a Derbyshire limestone “ hedge,” I am 
bound to say that it is greatly improved since 1874, when 
even Norwegian horses were impossible aids to ascending it. 
Our great enemy, the weather, could not leave us in peace 
even in this grand climax of our excursion, and the natural 
spray of the fall was added to by a persistent drizzle, under 
which, however, we patiently picnicked, since cover there was 
none. The valley of the Voringfos differs only in degree from 
the Naero and other valleys, its walls being more nearly 
vertical and more closely approximated, and instead of ending 
in a somewhat inclined cliff, up which roadmaking is possible, 
this valley is closed by a perpendicular amphitheatre of rock, 
seven to eight hundred feet in height, over one side of which 
the river tumbles with a fall of probably little short of 600 
feet. 
In our programme still one other day’s excursion was in¬ 
cluded, but the weather compelled its abandonment, and with 
the Voringfos our land expeditions closed, and with a rapid 
and fairly smooth run across the North Sea to Leith the Vesey 
Club expedition, all too short for the work done, was brought 
to a close, its last act being the expression of cordial grati¬ 
tude to Captain Masson, who had, with unvarying kindness, 
striven to make our crowded home upon the St. Rognvald the 
abode of peace and plenty.
