So, being somewhat mischievously inclined, we screeched off the steam-whistle and fired one of the little brass stern-chasers, in which a charge happened to remain over from our morning’s bombardment. This was intended to “ astonish the natives,” and very likely the poor folk had many a wondering talk as to what could be the meaning of that big white steamer that went rushing through the lonely fiord shrieking and firing guns.

The regularity of its shape reminded us exactly of the Great Pyramid; and we found that its singular appearance had greatly attracted the voyagers of the “ Maria,” who adorned their work with a capital picture of it.
