undomestic monster, deserving the dreadful doom of

There are several pretty waterfalls in the Surrendal
formed by the tributary torrents that pour into the
river. The trout and salmon are very abundant: I
saw them darting about in the water and leaping at the
falls. This must be a very paradise for anglers; but it
appears that anglers are spoiled in Norway. He who in
England would be in ecstacies at catching (“killing,” I
believe, is the proper word) a score or two of trout,
averaging a pound weight each, looks with contempt on
such small fry when here in Norway: anything under
a 20 lb. salmon is considered “slow” and cockneyish.
