havde vi ingen særlig Grund til at opsøge selve
Isgrænd-sen. og sejlede derfor tilbage mod Jan Mayen, hvor vi om
Morgenen den 3die August befandt os udenfor Marie-Muss
Bugten. Vejret var meget taaget og Brændingerne forbød
Landgang. Vi gik om Formiddagen langs Vestkysten
sydvestover. tog enkelte Lodskud og Skitser, naar Taagen
lettede. Ved Middag passeredes Sydkap og de syv
Klipper.-hvorpaa hele Jan Mayen forsvandt i Taagen. Der
arbejdedes nu paa. liere Stationer sydover til et Punkt omtrent
midtvejs mellem Jan Mayen og Islands Banker (69° 2’
N. Br.. 11° 26’ L. V. f. Gr.), hvor der var 1004 Favne.
Her slukkedes af, og i stille og løj Bris drev vi med
Polarstrømmen sydover, medéns Fyrgangene rengjordes,
hvilket Arbejde var færdigt om Eftermiddagen den 5te
August. hvorefter Iyursen sattes østover for at støde sammen
med det før oparbejdede Snit fra Trænen. Under denne
Del af Arbejdet fandtes vor største Dybde — 2005 Favne
- paa 68° 21’ N. Br. og 2° 5’ L. V. f. Gr. Middag
den 8de August naaedes det vestligste af de før tagne
Lodskud. og den 10de om Morgenen passerede vi gjennem
Moskenes-Strømmen. den berygtede Malstrøm, ind i
Vestfjorden. eier laa i det pragtfuldeste Vejr. Om
Eftermiddagen toges omtrent 8 Kvartmil söndenfor Skraaven en
Misvisnings- og Deviationsobservation. og om Aftfnen tørnedes
i Ørsnes. Den næste Dag toges to Skraaninger i
Vestfjorden. og om Aftenen Kl. 11 ankom Expeditionen til Bodø.
Her blev nu Kjedlen ordentligt etterseet og Skibet
rengjort udenbords. Samtidig toges magnetiske og
astronomiske Observationer i Land. Onsdag den 15de August
gik vi ind til Hopen, hvor vi fyldte en Del Vand. og gik
derfra paa stille Vande gjennem Saltstrømmen ind i
Skjer-stadfjorden, hvor der blev taget 3 Lodskud. en
Temperaturrække og 2 Skraber, hvoraf den ene strax indenfor
Strømmen viste et særdeles rigt Dyreliv. Vi laa tilankers
en Dag ved Rognan i Saltdalen, hvor vi fyldte det
manglende af Vandbeholdningen. Lørdag den 18de August
toges atter en Temperaturrække i Vestfjorden, hvorefter
Kursen sattes sydover. Kl. 10lj2 Form, den 23de August
ankom Expeditionen til Bergen, hvor Desarmeringen strax
paabegyndtes, og Skibet blev overleveret Rederiet færdig til
Fragtfart paa den i Kontrakten stipulerede Dag. den 7de
September.
Der blev dette Aar ialt taget 160 Lodskud, 27
Skraber. 9 Trawler og 37 Temperaturrækker. Expeditionen
depth of 20 fathoms a temperature below 0°, and thus
struck the Greenland Polar current, we had no call to
push on in search of the Ice-barrier itself, and
accordingly steamed back to Jan Mayen, reaching that island, off
Mary Muss Bay. on the morning of the 3rd of August.
The weather was exceedingly foggy, and the surf forbade
all thoughts of landing. During the forenoon we coursed
along the western shore in a south-westerly direction, took
a few soundings, and made sketches of the coast whenever
the fog cleared off. By noon we had reached South Cape,
after passing which and the Seven Cliffs Jan Mayen
suddenly disappeared, the whole island having been swallowed
up. as it were. J)y the fog. We now took a southward
course, investigating at several stations, to a point about
midway between Jan Mayen and the’ Iceland banks (lat.
69° 2’ N.. long. 11° 26’ W.). where the depth was 1004
fathoms. Here, we had the engine-fires put out. preparatory
to clearing the stoke-holes; and now in a dead calm, now
before a light breeze, the "Vøringen" drifted south with the
Polar current. On the afternoon of the 5th she was again
under steam, standing east for the Trænen section, already
explored. In this part of the ocean we found the greatest
depth measured on the Expedition — 2005 fathoms, in
lat. 68° 21’ JSL and long. 2° 5’ W. On Monday the 8th
of August, about noon, we reached the point at which the
mos£ westerly sounding had been taken, and on the
morning of the 10th steamed through Moskenes Sound, with its
whirlpool of dread repute — the celebrated Malstrøm,
into the Vestfjord, that lay extended before us. peacefully
slumbering in the glorious summer weather. In the
afternoon. about 8 miles south of Skraaven, observations were
taken to determine the deviation of the compass, and in
the evening we anchored at Ørsnes. On the following day
the dredge was twice sent down in the Vestfjord, and in
the evening the Expedition arrived at Bodø.
Here the boilers were carefully examined, and. the.
outside of the vessel washed. Moreover, we took advantage
of our stay at this place to take magnetical and
astronomical observations on shore. On Wednesday the 15th of
August the Expedition proceeded to Hopen, and took in
there a supply of water, after whiclfwe steamed, with a slack
tide, through Saltstrømmen Sound into the Skjer stadfjord.
Here we took 3 soundings. 1 set of temperatures, and 2
hauls of the dredge, one of which, viz. that taken on
entering the Sound, was uncommonly, successful,
bringing up a rich freight of animal life. We passed a
day at Rognan in Saltdalen, to complete our supply of
water. On Saturday the 28th of August, after taking
another serial temperature in the Vestfjord, the Expedition
stood south for Bergen, where we arrived on the 23rd of
August, at 10 o’clock in the morning. After paying off the
crew, the work of clearing the vessel and getting her ready
for the freight-trade was at once commenced, and on the
7th of September, the day stipulated in the Contract, she
was given up to her owners.
This year there were taken in all 160 soundings, 27
hauls of the dredge. 9 casts of the trawl, and 37 serial
