og gik Prøvetur, under hvilken Loggemaskineu prøvedes
og Kompassets Deviation undersøgtes. Lørdag den 15de
kom D’Hrr. Mohn. Danielssen, Friele og Schiertz ombord
og Kl. 43/4 samme Dags Eftermiddag afgik Expeditionen
fra Bergen og styrede nordover langs Leden.
Mandag den 17de Juni. efter Afgangen fra Børøsund
ved Throndhjemsleden havde vi det Uheld, at Skibet,
omtrent tvers af Nordpvnteu af Fjeldvær, skurede over en
Boe. og jeg saa. at en Del af Straakjølen gik tabt. Skibet
blev ikke staaende, og heller ikke lækt. saa at der var
stor Sandsynlighed for. at det ikke havde faaet nogen
væsentlig Skade. Da der ikke existerer nyere, detaljerede
Karter over denne Del af Kysten, var jeg her afskaaret
fra Lejlighed til at kunne kontrollere Lodsen. Et Par
Timer efter var vi saa heldige at træffe
Havnevæsenets Dampskib "Nicolay." hvor Havnedirectør Koll med
sin Dykker var ombord, og strax var villig til at yde
fornøden Bistand. Begge Skibe gik da ind i Hopen-Fjord,
hvor Dykkeren tre Gange var nede og undersøgte
Vørin-gens Bund. Da han erklærede, at Skibet ingen anden
Skade havde faaet, end det før nævnte Tab af en Del af
Straakjølen. fortsattes Rejsen om Natten nordover. Under
hele vor Rejse mærkedes ingensinde nogensomhelst Ulempe
efter Stødningen, men ved Doksætningen om Høsten viste
det sig. at selve Kjølen ogsaa for en Del var beskadiget,
saaledes at Veritas-Besigtigelsen fordrede et Stykke ny
Kjøl indsat.
Onsdag den 19de Juli toges en Temperaturrække og
en Skrabe i Vestfjorden og Kl. 11 Fonn. den 20de ankom
vi til Tromsø, hvor Kjendtmand Petter Bjørvik kom
ombord. Denne Mand var gjennem velvillig Assistance af
Hr. Toldkasserer Pettersen bleven engageret til at følge
Expeditionen som Lods paa Finmarken og Spidsbergen.
Kl. 4 samme Dags Eftermiddag afgik Expeditionen til
Alten-Fjord, hvor der den 21de toges to
Temperaturrækker. Skrabe og Trawl, medens Hr. Friele arbejdede langs
Landet fra Baad og Professor Mohn inspicerede Altens
meteorologiske Station. Kl. ö1/^ Form. den 22de Juni
ankredes i Hammerfest, hvor vi fyldte Vand og blev liggende
Søndagen over. Kl. 2 Form. Mandag den 24de afgik vi
fra Hammerfest, og arbejdede de følgende Dage i
Porsanger-Fjord og i Tana-Fjord. Udenfor Baads-Fjord toges
Misvisnings- og Deviations-Observation og den 25de Kl.
111/., Eftm. ankom Expeditionen til Vardø. Efterat
heivar taget magnetiske og astronomiske Observationer og den
meteorologiske Station inspiceret, gik vi tilsøs om
Morgenen den 27de for efter Planen at begynde med
Undersøgelserne i Øst-Ishavet.
from the wharf to take a trial-trip, during which the
log-apparatus was tested and the deviation of the compass
determined. On Saturday the 15th of June Professor
Mohn. Dr. Danielssen, Mr. Friele, and Mr. Schiertz came
on board; and on the afternoon of that day. at 4.45 p.m.,
the Expedition left Bergen, proceeding northward by the
inshore route.
On Monday the 17th of June, shortly after our
departure from Børøsund. a place on the inshore route to
Throndhjem, the vessel chanced unfortunately to touch a
sunken rock, and I saw part of the false keel carried
away. Meanwhile, aS the ship neither stuck fast nor
sprang a leak, there was good reason to believe she
could not have sustained any material damage. New,
detailed charts for this part of the coast having not yet
been constructed. I was unable to check the pilot. A
couple of hours or so after our misadventure, we had the
good fortune to fall in with the steamer Nicolay,"
belonging to the Harbour Works; and Mr. Roll, the director, who
happened to be on board and had with him his
diving-assi-stant. at once volunteered assistance. Both vessels now
steamed into the Hopen Fjord; and here Mr. Roll’s diver
went down three times in succession to examine the
-^’øringen"’s bottom. His report, however, being to the effect that,
beyond the aforesaid loss of part of her false keel, the
ship had sustained no damage whatever, we resolved to
continue the voyage, and after night-fall pursued our course
northward. During the whole cruise no detrimental effects
were found to result from the accident; but on
docking the vessel in the autumn after our return, it seemed
that the true keel had suffered to some extent too; indeed
the Surveyor to the "Veritas" insisted on having a new
piece put in.
On Wednesday the 19th of July a serial temperature
and a haul of the dredge were taken in the Yestljord;
and on the forenoon of the 20th, at 11 a.m.. we arrived
at Tromsø, where a pilot. Petter Bjørvik by name, came
on board. This man had been engaged by Mr. Pettersen,
receiver of customs, to act as pilot to the Expedition for
the coasts of Finmark and Spitzbergen. The same day, at
4 o’clock in the afternoon, the Expedition proceeded to the
Alten Fjord, where, on the 21st. two serial temperatures
were taken, together with a haul of the deep-sea
apparatus. both dredge and trawl. Mr. Friele working the while
along the shore from a boat, and Professor Mohn being
occupied with inspecting the Meteorological Station at Alten.
(>n the forenoon of the 22nd the Expedition arrived at
Hammerfest, where we took in a supply of water, and
spent the following day (Sunday) at anchor. On Monday
the 24th of June, at 2 a.m.. the Expedition left
Hammerfest. arid devoted the next few days to exploratory work
in the Porsanger and Tana Fjords. Off the mouth of the
Ijord observations were taken to determine the variation
and deviation of the compass, and on the 25th, at 11.30
p.m.. the Expedition reached Vardø. After a series of
inagnetical and astronomical observations had been taken,
and the Meteorological Station inspected, on the morning
