Botaniske Undersøgelser og Indsamlinger søges gjort
paa .Tan Mayen i størst mulig Udstrækning.
De meteorologiske Iagttagelser ombord udfores i alt
væsentligt som i 1876.
Botanical work, comprising collections of the flora,
will, if possible, be prosecuted on Jan Mayen.
The meteorological observations 011 board will be made
essentially as in 1876.
Ligesom det foregaaende Aar overtoges Dampskibet
"Vøringen" af Expeditionen den 14de April og
Indred-ningsarbejderne udførtes ved samme Værft.
Den 19de Maj paamønstredes Mandskabet, og Kl. 2
om Morgenen den 23de Maj afgik Skibet til Husø, hvor
jeg agtede at tage de til Fox-Cirkelens senere Benyttelse
nødvendige forberedende Observationer. Efter Ankomsten
hid opdagedes imidlertid en Fejl i agterste Krumtappinde,
og da Vejret desuden var til Hinder for Observationernes
Udførelse, returneredes strax til Bergen, hvor ny Mellem- •
axel blev indsat. Dette Arbejde ’var. færdigt den 31te Maj.
men Expeditionens Afgang blev yderligere forsinket
derved, at Mr. Macintosh i London, der havde paataget sig
til første Halvdel af Maj at levere nye Accumulatorstrenge,
havde glemt Ordren’ og kunde ikke levere dem før 10de
Juni. Der blev derfor gjort et nyt Forsøg paa at erholde
de forberedende magnetiske Observationer, men det
mislykkedes fuldstændigt paa Gründ af det yderst urolige Vejr
i Husø.
Den 11te Juni embarkerede i Bergen Professorerne
Mohn og Sars. Overlæge Danielssen og Landskabsmaler
Schiertz samt Overlæge Hansen, der liavdc erholdt
Indredepartementets Tilladelse til at være med som Passager til
Tromsø, hvor Kjøbmand Friele skulde støde til
Expeditionen. Da Hr. Svendsen, der var Expeditionens Kemiker
det første Aar, havde af Helbredshensyn meldt Forfald,
blev i hans Sted antaget Hr. H. Tornøe, der under
Professor Waages personlige Ledelse havde arbejdet paa
Laboratoriets Indredning siden deii 23cle Maj. ’For at vinde
Tid besluttedes at gaa Accumulatorerne imøde til
Stavanger. og her kom de ombord den 13de .Tuni. hvorefter
Expeditionen strax gik tilsøs.
Omtrent 3 Mil SV. for Udsire toges en
Temperatur-række. og Dagen efter en lignende tvers af Feje (60° 42’
N’. Br.), hvorefter Kursen sattes direkte paa Station No.
96 (66° 9’ N. Br.. 3° 0’ L. 0. f. Gr.), der naaedes Kl. 6
Morgen den 16de Juni.
Ved at tage 54 Lodskud, 6 Skraber. 3 Trawler og
7 Temperaturrækker undersøgtes 3 Tversnit udenfor Kysten
mellem Fol denfjord og Vestfjorden af tilsammen 115 g.
Miles Længde. Det nordligste af disse Snit gik helt fra
67° 53’ N. Br. og 5° 12’ L. 0. f. Gr. til hen imod
Trænen (661/2° N. Br. 12° L. 0. f. Gr.). Efter at have taget
en Temperaturrække i Vestfjorden, ankom Expeditionen
As jn 1876. the S.S. "Vøringen" was on the 14th of
April given up by her owners to the agent of the
Expedition. and her nautical equipment again undertaken by Messrs
Brunchorst and Dekke.
On the 19th of May the crew came on board, and
on the 23rd. at 2 o’clock in the morning, the vessel left
Bergen for Husø. where I purposed taking the
preliminary observations indispensible for the subsequent use of
the Fox-circle. But. 011 arriving at that island, a defect
was discovered in the pin of the after-crank, and the
weather, too. being very unfavourable for such observations,
we returned at once to Bergen, and had a new shaft put
in. This was got done by the 31st of May; but
unfortunately the final departure of the Expedition had to be still
further delayed. Mr. Macintosh, the London manufacturer,
who was to have furnished new straps for the
accumulators. having overlooked the order, and being in consequence
unable to execute it before the 10th of June. During this
interval a fresh but, owing to the boisterous weather at
Husø. wholly abortive attempt, was made to obtain the
preliminary magnetical observations.
On the 11th of June Professors Mohn and Sars, Dr.
Danielssen. Mr. Schiertz. artist, and Dr. Hansen, embarked
in Bergen. Dr. Hansen, who was not a member of the
Scientific Staff, having permission from the Home Department
to proceed as passenger to Tromsø, where Mr. Friele was
to join the Expedition. Mr. Svendsen, chemist to the
Expedition on the first year’s cruise, having by reason of
ill-health been compelled to retire. Mr. H. Tornøe. who. since
the 23rd of May. under the personal guidance of Professor
Waage. had been at work fitting up the Chemical
Laboratory. was engaged in his stead. Time being precious, we
resolved on running south, to await in Stavanger the
arrival of the new accumulators, which reached that place
on the 13th of June; and having got them on board, the
Expedition immediately put to .sea.
About 12 miles so.uth-west of Utsire we took a series
of temperature-soundings, and on the following day another,
off Feje (lat. 60° 42’ N.), after which the Expedition stood
for Station 96 (lat. 66° 9’N.. long. 3°0’E.). arriving there
on the 16th of June, at 6 o’clock in the morning.
Three transverse sections off the coast, between the
Foldenfjord and the Vestfjord, measuring together 460
miles in extent, were now explored, by taking 54
soundings. 6 hauls of the dredge, 3 of the trawl, and 7
serial temperatures. The most northerly’ of these sections
extended from a point in lat. 67° 53’ N. and long 5° 12’
E. to a point in the immediate vicinity of Trænen (lat.
