Kobberhuset med Thermometrene stod inde 1 et større 
Hus af Tre (Fig. 10), idet det hvilede paa Consoler, fast- 
gjorte i dettes Væg, og holdtes fast med Klamper. Det 
ydre Træhus var af Bord, hvidmalet, 103 Cm. højt, 41 
Cm. bredt, 33 Cm. dybt, aa- 
bent oventil og mnedentil og 
forsynet med Dør. 
Det —Thermometerhus, 
som benyttedes til de daglige 
Observationer, var hejst op 
under Fokkestaget, som Fig. I 
viser. Der var intet Fokke- 
stagsejl underslaaet. Thermo- 
metrene hang her 7 Meter 
over Havet, 4 Meter over 
Dekket. | Thermometerhuset 
The copper case containing the thermometers was 
enclosed in a larger case, of wood (Fig. 10), resting on 
brackets let into its side, and secured by means of clamps. 
The outer wooden case, made of boards and painted white, 
was 1.703 high, 41” broad, 
and 33°" deep, open above 
and below, and provided with 
a door. 
The case containing the 
thermometers used for the 
daily observations was hoisted 
up under the fore stay, as 
shown in Fig. i. There was 
no forestaysail bent. Here, 
the thermometers hung 7 me-

means of guys, passing from

gjorte fast i Rækken, den ene 
om Styrbord, den anden om 
Bagbord. Naar Observation

and made fast to the railing, 
one on the starboard and the 
other on the port side of the 
vessel. When an observation 
had to be taken, the thermo-

carefully lowered to the proper 
height, determined by the fixed

This place, the thermo-

Aars Expeditioner. De eneste Ser 
Forandringer, den var under- 
kastet, vare, at den i 1876 
var lidt nærmere Fokkemasten 
end i de to andre Aar, og at Huset, naar vi vare under 
Sejl med Bredfokken sat, bragtes noget forover af Bugen 
af dette Sejl. 
Thermometrene vare saaledes beskyttede mod Sol, 
Nedbør og Sprøjt af Søen samt frit udsatte for Luftens 
Paavirkning fra alle Kanter. 
Naar Vinden var ret formd, kunde man tænke sig, 
at Røgen fra Kabys-Skorstenen forud (vist i Fig. 1) kunde 
komme til at opvarme Thermometrene. Men denne Frygt 
viste sig ugrundet, hvorom jeg særligt overbeviste mig ved 
Hjelp af Slyngethermometret, hvorom mere nedenfor, i 
saadanne Tilfælder, da Røgen fra Kabysen gik agterover. 
I Almindelighed var desuden denne Røgs Virkning indover 
meter-case had on each of the 
three cruises of the Expedi- 
tion. The only change lay in 
its being a little nearer the 
foremast in 1876 than in the 
two following years, and that, when the vessel was under 
sail, with the foresail set, it was brought a trifle forward 
by the bunt of the sail. 
The thermometers were accordingly protected against 
sun, rain, and the spray of the sea, and on all sides freely 
exposed to the air. 
With the wind right ahead. it might be supposed 
that the smoke from the galley-funnel (see Fig. 1) could 
warm the thermometers. But this fear proved groundless, a 
fact of which I fully convinced myself by testing the case in 
question with the sling thermometer — concerning which 
I shall have more to say in the sequel — when the smoke 
from the galley was carried right aft. Moreover, the effect —
