That those who sailed in her were to some extent careful of themselves is accidentally certain. Among the stores was a plank with crossbars nailed upon it, meant evidently for landing on a beach. One of our men, who was quick at inferences, exclaimed at once : " These fellows must have worn shoes and stock- ings. If they had been barelegged they would have jumped overboard and would not have wanted a landing- plank. " I conclude, therefore, that she was not the kind of vessel of which the summe...r squadrons were composed that came down the English Channel, but that she was intended either for the fjords only, or for the narrow THE NORWAY FJORDS, 101 waters between Norway and Sweden and Denmark at the mouth of the Baltic. Her rig must have been pre- cisely what we had been lately seeing on the Sogne or Hai'danger ; a single large sail on a square yard tit for running before the wind, or with the wind slightly on the quarter, but useless at a closer point. The rudder Jiung over the side a few feet from the stern, a heavy ^;oar with a broad blade and a short handle, shaped so exactly like the rudders of the Roman vessels on Tra- 'j^n's column that the Norsemen, it is likely, had seen " the pattern somewhere and copied it.
