8 den lange Lagune. Ogsaa her var Vandet ferskt, men Lagunen var meget grundere end Vestsidens. Der laa Rsekved, saavel paa Lagunvolden som paa den indre Strand. Den fplgende Dag arbejdede Zoologerne med Skrab- ning fra Baad i Mary Muss Bugten. Fra vor Ankerplads toges Skitser, navnlig af Landet mod Vest. Disse ligge til Grand for Fig. 3, der viser Udseendet af det Nes. der begramdser Nordostsiden af Nord-Baj eller English Bay. Yderst ser man den isolerede lioje Klippe, som af de gamle Hollaendere er kaldt “Brielle-Taarnet” og som danner et udmerket Spmerke. Mellem “Taarnet” og Landet inden- for er en dyb Kloft, som paa de afidste Karter kaldes “Walruscb Gat”. Billedets . Synspunkt er tsenkt paa den vestlige Laguntange, strax i Nor dost for Fugleberget, bvis bratte Skrsent sees til venstre i Forgrunden. Brielle Taar- net ligger tre Gange saa langt borte som “Ypringen”. Da vj om Eftermiddagen gjorde os istand til at gaa i Land for at undersoge Landet lsengere sydpaa, rejste sig en' frisk Bris af Nordvest, der satte saa megen So, at Landgang blev vanskelig. Det besluttedes da at sejle om til den anden Side af Den. Under Letningen kom Solen et Par Gange frem i Vest, saa at dens Hojde kunde maales. Paa den anden Side, mod Nor dost, rev Vinden enkelte Gange Hul i. Taagen. og Toppen af Beerenberg viste sig i nogle Secunder, ophojet og vidunderlig skjon i sin blsen- dende bvide Snekaabe. Dens Hojde blev maalt med Sex- tant. Yi styrede NNV. over. Saa ofte som Beerenberg var synlig,- benyttedes de korte Stunder til at faeste dens Udseende ,i Skitsebogerne. Efter disse Skitser er Fig. 4 tegnet. Forholdet mellem de verticale og horizontale Ud- strsekninger er det rigtige og. stemmer med Kartet. Store sorte Flekker, paafaldende morke ved Contrasten med den blsendende bvide, af Solen oplyste Sne, viste bratte Styrt- ninger paa den ovre Kegle, livor Fjeldet var ganske hart. Da vi kom lsengere frem, stak to Afsatser, den ene uden- for (nordenfor) og nedenfor den anden, sig frem mod N ord — se Fig. 4 — saa kom Taagen og tilkyllede after alt undtagen det laveste af Landet til 90 a 100 Meters Hojde. Under hele Farten denne Eftermiddag og Aften rundt Dens Nordende toges stadig Pejlinger med Compasset til alle synlige Pynter og andre merkelige Gjenstande. og der maaltes Vinkler med Sextant. Ogsaa til Punkter paa Syd-’ landet, der under den forste Del af Farten saaes belt nede indtil Hoyberg, toges Sigter. Kursen styredes og bereg- nedes med Nojagtiglied og Loggemaskinen observeredes hvert femte Minut. Der toges ved Siden lieraf en Rrekke' Skitser. Det saaledes indvundne Materiale er i fuldt Maal lagoon. Here, too, the water was fresh, though the lagoon was much shallower than that on the west side. Drift- wood lay scattered alike on the barrier and on the inner strand. On the following day our zoologists dredged from a boat in Mary Muss Bay. Sketches were made from the anchorage, chiefly of the land stretching west; and these have furnished the subject of Fig. 3, which gives a view of the headland forming the north-eastern extremity of North or English Bay. In the distance is seen the lofty isolated rock called by the early Dutch navigators "Brielle Tower,” and which serves as an excellent land-mark. Between the “Tower” and the main land extends a deep ravine, that hears on the earliest nnfys the name of “Walruscb Gat.” The point of view in the figure is supposed to he on the barrier of the western lagoon, north-east of the Fugleberg, which, with its steep acclivity, rises boldly in the left fore- ground. The distance of Brielle Tower from the point of view is thrice that of the “Yoringen.” In the afternoon, as a party of us were getting ready to §o ashore, with a view to explore the island farther south, a fresh breeze sprang up from the north-west, and soon made so rough a sea that landing was out of the question. AVe determined therefore to steam round to the opposite side of the islhnd. While getting under weigh, the sun broke qut twice in the west, and we managed to take a couple of altitudes. Now and again, on the other side, in the north-east, the wind tore a rent in the clouds, and for a few seconds disclosed the dazzling, snow-capt summit of Beerenberg, in matchless grandeur and beauty. The height of the mountain was measured with the sextant. AAre steered north-north-west. So often as any part of Mount 'Beerenberg became visible for a moment, the brief oppor- tunity was eagerly seized to fix some new feature of its fleeting aspect. Fig. 4 is from these sketches. The proportion between the vertical and the horizontal extent of the mountain is true to nature, and agrees with the Map. Huge black patches on the upper cone, rendered doubly conspicuous by contrast with the dazzling white of the sun-illumined snow, showed the position of the steepest inclines; where the'mountain was entirely naked. Farther on, two rocky ledges, the one beyond (north of) and below the other, could he seen projecting northward (Fig. 4); — and. then came the fog, blotting out everything from view, save the lowest strip of coast, that was still visible for about 300 feet above the sea. During the whole of that afternoon and evening, as we steamed round the northern extremity of the island, hearings by the compass were successively taken of all visible headlands and other salient landmarks; and angles were measured with the sextant. Of points on the south part of Jan Mayen, that for some time after starting could he seen as far as Hoyberg, bearings were also taken. The ship’s course was accurately computed, the water-log being observed every five minutes. Moreover, a series of sketches
