each stopping their vessels while we and onr luggage

Postscript. —Here is a copy of a letter from a 
Norwegian friend:—“ It may interest you to hear that 
the day after you left, two brothers, hunters of Kjendal, 
left Breiava to look for deer, and lost their way. Search 
parties were arranged, who scoured the mountains for 
three days without finding the missing men. They had 
left the hut on the Thursday morning, and on Tuesday 
it was reported that they had arrived at the seeters 
above Bannoes-fjord on the other side of the fjeld—the 
place whence I proposed you should start next year. 
The men had found no shelter, and had to walk con¬ 
tinuously, night and day, the cold being so intense. 
They were in very poor condition when they reached 
the sseters at Rannces. So, you see, reindeer-shooting in 
Norway is not without its dangers.” 
[Note. —Further details of Reindeer-shooting will be found in 
chap. xiii.—while hints on stalking, on camp-outfit, equipment, and 
so forth, are given at pp. 203 et seq. and p. 189.]
