Text Appearing Before Image:
et and carried down the cliff on some ones back. The Fishing Grounds .—Compared with other countries Norway has butlittle farm land, the fisheries are the chief dependence of a large proportionof the people. Every year, as the season draws near, they leave their homesand go to the fishing grounds to stay for several weeks. The Loffoden Islands is a favorite resort of the codfish, and about thefirst of February the place begins to swarm with fishermen. The little Lappsset up their canvas tents, the log-houses are filled to overflowing, hundredsof fishing boats glide about the bays loaded to the waters edge, and numer-ous trading vessels arrive to buy fish and sell coffee, sugar, bread, tobacco andother things to the fishermen. On the shore are crowds of men and womenopening and cleaning the fish which are piled in heaps everywhere; rows offish strung on poles are drying in the sun; barrels of cod-livers arestanding around, and heads and refuse are heaped everywhere, smellinghorribly.
Text Appearing After Image:
80 Persons and Places in Europe. The fishing grounds are divided into districts, in each of which is aStation or headquarter where the boats assemble in the morning beforestarting out. No one is allowed to go before the appointed time, for allmusjhave an equal chance in the fishing harvest. Early in the morning the men come from their huts and take their placesin the boat, five or six usually in each one. All eyes are then turned towardthe flag-staff as the men wait with ready oars for the signal. Suddenly theflag rises. A thousand oars strike the water, and the boats are pulledrapidly away to the place where the fish are caught. In the afternoon theycome back with their loads, and the fishers tired and hungry hurry in totheir dinner. They do not mind the fatigue if they have had good luck,but some seasons the fish are very scarce. Then all their toil and hardshipbrings but little return, and the poor fishermen go home with heavy heartsknowing there will be little bread for the hungry
