Description
No. VI. A BOLD ROMANTIC SCENE IN HELIESUND.

About the centre of the island, is a confined valley difficult of access; the principal feature standing obliquely prominent over a small plain; its sides are decorated with small shrubs, woodbines, cranberries, junipers, strawberries, weeds and mosses. In the holes and breaks are nests constructed by the shore birds. The cavernous security of this place points it out as a lurking retreat for ferocious beasts. Though it is pleasing to the eye, the descent into it is trod with instinctive caution.

In hard winters, bears have been known to walk over theice to the islands: and, being left there by a sudden thaw, have cornmitted great devastation: but fortunately those evils seldom occur, and these savage intruders have always paid the forfeit of such temerity with their lives.
