I cannot think how it is that you are not choked." "Suppose you go for an airing," said the doctor, who now joined them. "If you must not go in the way of the bears, there is a reindeer, " "O, where?" cried Oddo. "I saw one, all alone, on the Salten heights.
I have heard that there lives a great viking in Salten fiord who is skilled in sorcery. A wizard he is, for he has power over the wind and the sea, and he and his great horde of heathens still worship Odin and Thor and offer them blood sacrifice. Rand is his name, and he is chief over all the Godoe Isles."
Roused from his apathy, Olaf declared that he would conquer this bold viking and bring him to christening or himself be conquered. So he got together his ships and sailed into the north. At the mouth of Salten fiord he encountered foul weather, and was forced to lie there storm stayed for many days.
As we looked up the Salten Fjord, while crossing its mouth, the snows of Sulitelma, the highest mountain in Lappmark, 6000 feet above the sea, were visible, about fifty miles distant. Next came the little town of Bodö where we stopped for the night. It is a cluster of wooden houses, with roofs of green sod, containing about three hundred inhabitants.
Under certain conditions of wind and tide, an eddy is formed in the strait it is true, which may be dangerous to small boats but the place is by no means so much dreaded as the Salten Fjord, where the tide, rushing in, is caught in such a manner as to form a bore, as in the Bay of Fundy, and frequently proves destructive to the fishing craft.

I was just going to turn back when I took one more look, and he was then pulling in for the land." "On the north shore or south?" asked Peder.
Continuing along the coast of Norway, he reached the Gulf of Salten, and visited the world-renowned Maelstrom. Taking an Icelander, by the name of Holm, as his guide, he entered Lapland. Thus journeying, he, on the 24th of August, 1795, reached North Cape, the extreme northern point of Europe, within eighteen degrees of the North Pole.
