When we returned to my sleeping-place, I found the bed curtained off, leaving a commodious apartment, with books, armchairs, a writing-table, and a fire- place, in which a coal fire burned brightly. But the greater surprise was the view from my window, a view over a sunlit fjord, away to mountain peaks, snow-capped and shining ; and between them to a THE IRON PIRATE. 229 vista of an endless snow-plain, white, dazzling, and not altogether un monotonous, yet relieved by the nearer patches of gree...n and almost garden-land which seemed to stretch towards the sea. My new home was, as I had thought, upon the side of a fjord which led through a canon to the outer basin. There was beach at the upper end of it, and grass-land where several canoes and kayaks lay ; and I saw that many of the men who had watched the horrors of the night were working lustily now, dragging stores and barrels from a heavily-charged screw steamer which was anchored near the beach. The rocks which bound the opposite side of the bay did not appear to be cut for dwellings as on our side ; but I saw trace of several passages in them ; and away above them there was a small mountain peak by which a river of ice ran into the sea.
