Kerguelen's voyage to the north. .760 Thefe are the names of all the paflages beginning with the mod foutherly; ia Stavangerfiord near Stavanger, fixteen Danilh miles from Berghen; 2° Schuttnefs, which is the beginning of the canals, fourteen miles diftant; 30 Udeiro thirteen miles ; 4° Bommelfiord eleven miles ; 50 Solmenfiord five miles ; 6° Papefiord four miles ; 70 Cruixfiord three miles ; 8° Jettefiord nearly three miles weft of the town. The two paflages or openings which are frequented at the north of the town, are i° Herlefiord ; this paflage is between two iflands advancing fome diftance into the fea, known by the names of Henne and Fever, five miles from the town ; 20 Foensfiord ; there is in the middle of the fecond paflage a little lofty ifland, called Holmen Graac. It ferves as a land mark: this paflage is fix miles from Berghen. It will be feen by what I have obferved that it is better to make land fouth of the town, on account of their being in that quarter more paflages than in the north, befides which, they are more practicable, and the currents run towards the north, the whole length of the coaft ; in other refpeCts the wind muft decide ; the belt latitude at which to make land l confider to be 59°4o\ A veflel may make for land without apprehenfion ; it is very fafe, the coaft of Nor- way prefents a dreadful afpeCt every where, it is a continued chain of rocks, the fight of which makes one fhudder; but nothing fhould prevent making for them; for as I be- fore obferved, a fhip may range very clofe under them, and when at two leagues from fhore, pilots always come out, unlefs there happens a ftorm ; but in fine weather they proceed even as far as three leagues to get on board a fhip : they row with all their might as well, to be firft, for the firft boat which touches the veflel with an oar, has a right to furnilh a pilot, the others then return, but not without afking for bifcuit or brandy, of which they are extremely fond. I have before obferved that the land may be approached at all times, however when the weather is foggy, with a ftrong W. N. W. wind, unlefs the cafe were urgent I would not advife making for lhore, feeing that there is no lhifting from a W. N. W. wind. I return to my anchorage at Ingefon, and as all anchoring in the river of Berghen requires care, I fhall defcribe the method I ufed at Ingefon ; it will ferve as inftruttion for all veflels which may be going to Berghen ; that port, which of all in the North Sea yields the greateft refources, there being a maft yard, a capital rope warehoufe, and plenty of provifions. By chance a veflel may be obliged to enter the paflages without pilots, either owing to the fuperiority of an enemy’s veflel, or to florins, and what I am about to obferve will be of great utility. On coming from fea with a north wind, keeping Mount Bommel at fix to eight leagues diftant at S.E. the fhip muft continue its way fleering as clofe to the wind as poflible, in order to keep before the wind, and north of the ifle of Bommel. At about a league from lhore, an opening will be feen between the rocks, which is the paflage of *Solmenfiord, five miles from Berghen. Imagining the reader at the entrance of the paflage I recommend him the expedient 1 made ufe of. The wind was northerly, I kept clofe to the iflets and rocks in the north, which I palled at two cables’ length, in order to avoid the ftones which are in the middle of the paflage under water, and which I left to ltarboard going before the wind. At a quarter of a league from the ifle of Rootholm, I made in lhore to coaft round this ifland, till I fhould difcover an opening to leeward. I then bore up for the inlet fleering S. and S. quarter S. E. I went up this creek, and when about a cable’s length from the bottom of the bay, I call anchor to larboard, I put the helm to ftarboard, to round to the wind, letting the cable run. As • This paflage is nearly a league wide 5 on my fecond voyage I luffed up it. 4 foon
