"I have no idea of what is meant by Mr. Hartland's reference to Arendal. Possibly it may concern something in the museum there, but of which I never heard. Thorpe, vol. ii. p. 144, quoting Thiele. Thorpe, vol. ii. p. 91, quoting Afzelius. Waldron, pp. 28, 106. Train, vol. ii. p. 154; and see a note by Harrison to his edition of Waldron, p. 106.
A man-of-war had lately come up to Arendal from a cadet cruise to the Mediterranean, and Gjert had been allowed to go over with one of the other pilots to see her.
Coming now to shorter cables connecting Britain with the Continent, we have those of the Great Northern Telegraph Company, namely, Peterhead to Ekersund, Norway, 267 miles . Newbiggin, near Newcastle, to Arendal, Norway, 424 miles, and thence to Marstrand, Sweden, 98 miles. The great Northern Company has altogether twenty-two cables, of a total length of 6,110 miles.
"If he were only to go to school in Arendal no one knows what might happen. The clerk says that nothing is any trouble to Gjert." Something in this observation must have struck discordantly upon her husband's ear, for he changed colour and replied shortly after, somewhat sarcastically
"Mother will come back when her aunt over in Arendal is well again," said the pilot, soothingly. But he soon broke out again. "You have nothing to blubber for," he said; "you can go in and see her if you like t-omorrow morning the first thing. You may go now and sleep in our bed." Gjert obeyed; and his father paced to and fro on the floor afterwards for a long while in great agitation.
You need not feel ashamed of that What I wanted to say come along to the telegraph office, Irgens; then we'll drop in at Sara's afterward, if you like. I have a little surprise for you." Aagot said nothing. "You can walk up and down a little while I telegraph," said Ole. "But don't get impatient if it takes some time. I have got to catch a ship before it leaves Arendal!"
Gjert came in now with some of the things for the house which his father had bought in Arendal, and impressing the doleful-looking "bagman" into the service, took him down with him to the boat to help him to bring up the rest. He had only given his mother a hurried kiss, as he had seen at a glance that all was right this time.
"How long you have been!" she cried, taking from him what he had in his hands, and preceding him into the house, where she lit a candle. "What has kept you? I heard that you had taken a galliot up to Arendal yesterday, and thought you would have been here this morning.
This would leave him seriously low, but to hell with it. She struggled with the computer. "I lied. We can't do that; the computer won't take it." "Two for five hundred each?" "That'll work," she said. "O.K., one for Kate Burke and one for Jackson, umm, Arendal. Jackson Arendal." He would explain that he wasn't trying to tell them how to split it.
I will only now point out, with regard to the Luck of Edenhall, and the three horns of Oldenburg, of Halsteengaard, and of Arendal, of which we have full descriptions, that what we know of them is all in confirmation of the theory suggested.
