Text Appearing Before Image:
ccessible. In point of grandeur, however, theHardanger is perhaps surpassed by some of the N. fjords, such as theFj£erlandsfjord(p.l47), Nordfjord (p. 165, and J0rundfjord(p. 181).The inhabitants (Haramger or Hdringer) and their characteristicsare interesting. The bridal crowns and gold and silver trinkets(such as the Selje, or Sylgja, a kind of brooch or buckle) are curious,and the embroidery, coverlets (Slumretctpper), and carpets (Tapper)made in this district are much esteemed. The costumes are seento advantage only on Sundays, before or after church. The womenwear the Skaut, a kind of white linen cap, folded and starched,and sometimes a red bodice, embroidered with beads. The peculiarHardanger violin (Felt) has steel strings combined with gut to in-crease the resonance. Our description follows the course of the Hardanger-Sand-horland Steamers (Com. 280), which, however, call at differentstations on different trips. The distances are in Norwegian Sea-miles (p. 107).
