Lerwick, Shetland, December 1,1890.—
[Special]— In crossing from the Orkneys
to the Shetland Islands, a distance of per
haps one hundred miles from Kirkwall,
the capital of the former, to Lerwick, the
capital of the latter, it is possible for the
traveler to encounter the fiercest ocean
tides, and the roughest waters, known to
any seas. The perilous tideway is called
the Roost (Norse, roest, tide-race) of Sum-
burg,and the waters sweep through it with
incredible velocity. One who has known
the roughest passage from Dover to Calais
across the English Channel,will remember
that experience as a gentle sail after tum
bling about in the Suinburgh Roost, and
particularly that portion nearest the
Southern headlands of Shetland, known as
the “west shot” of Sumburgh. Your
steamer in the passage sails almost within
hailing distance of lone Fair Isle, stand
ingmidway between the Orkneys and Shet
land, and its natives invariably intercept
passing passing vessels in their curious,
frail yawls, eager for newspapers, maga
zines and any srcap of knowledge of the
outside world. Fair Isle was the Fridarey
the Orkneyinga Saga. It and one or two
of the Orkney group still retain the name
of the Faroe or Sheep Islands. No spot
in alljthese northern seas receives such
lashings and beatings from the Atlantic,
and its 250 souls are never free from the
shrieking of sea-fowl or the howlings of
the deep. The island has no light-house,
and has been the
SCENE OF MANY A TERRIBLE SHIPWRECK.
In 1588 “El Orau Grifon,” a war-ship of
the great Spanish Armada, commanded
by Juan Gomez de Medina, went to pieces
in Sivars Gio, on its desolate shores.
Eighty-six souls perished. Two hundred
reached land, many of whom died of slarv-
tion. Others were thrown from the cliffs
by the perturbed natives who believed that
the crew of “El Gran Grifon” had been
sent to destroy them. Those escaping
death by sea, starvation and mur
der, finally secured toleration and a sort of
friendship which had curious results. The
Spanish sailors became, until they were
rescued from the island, dependents and
slaves. Seeking the good will of their Fa-
roese masters, the Spaniards actually spun
yarn, wove at hand-looms and knit for the
women. That was nearly three and a half
centuries ago, but the very patterns in
stockings, gloves, capes and jerseys for
which the Faroe islands are today famous,
were then taught them by the ship
wrecked crew of “El Gran Grifon;” they
are identical with those now worn by the
Pescadores of Barcelona and Spanish south
ern ports; while it is even said that Mu
rillo, who gave the Louvre, in Baris, its
matchless Madonna, painted similar pat-
upon a shawl in his study of the
pioiver Girl, now seen in the Dulwich
Gallery, London.
It one can keep good sea-legs under
him, the approach to Shetland is
interesting and exciting.
Your steamer hounds, lurches and pounds
through tremendous seas and a strange
trembling of the strongest vessel is always
felt as the unseen forces of the. tideway
contend for mastery. Straight before you
is the southernmost Shetland sea-nose, the
grim precipice of Suiuburgh Head,
crowned by a noble light-house, the first
erected in Shetland, built by Robert Ste
venson, the great Scottish engineer, in
1820. Around to the west, its base white
for an hundred feet high with the spume
of the sea, and its highest peak as white
with drifting mists, rises upwards of 1000
feet, wild, Fitful Head, the legendary home
of Scott’s Norna, the Reimkeinener, as
dark, forbidding and fearful a spot as ever
human eyes looked upon. To the east,
here and there feathery lines of smoke on
the sea horizon tell of the going and com
ing of German Ocean “tramp” steamers
or trades of the Baltic fleet. Nearer in
the foreground, like sea-fowl resting upon
the water while sunning their uplifted
wings, the sails of countless Dulch and
Scottish herring-busses. Then, Great
Ness, Lambho Head and the Wane of
Skewsburg are swiftly passed. When
alongside Mousa Island the weird Pictisb
brocli or tower of Mousa is seen, grey old
sentinel of the wraiths of ancient Norse
hosts, crowning the desolate moorland
landscape. In a half hour more you
are passing through the noble southe rn
entrance to Biessay Sound, a western arm
of which forms iThe capacious harbor of
Lerwick. There is_no finer anchorage in
the world. Many a time a century or so
ago, 2,000 Dutch herring-busses,with hun
dreds of other curious Orcadean, Icelandic,
Norse and Baltic craft might have been
seen within the Sound one. Picturesque
headlands, reach out and around from the
western or mainland crescent shaped shore
while on the east the splendid island of
Bressay, high and grand in places, forms a
circling eastern sea wall to guard the
Sound and harbor from the tempests of
German Ocean.
Bressay Sound was the Bre.ithevjarsund,
or Broad-island sound, of the Norse, and
the Buss Havn of the Amsterdam fleet. It
was here that King Hacon came with his
wonderful fleet of galleys, wuen on his
disastrous expedition, terminating in the
battle of Largs.
OUR OWN REDOUBTABLE PAUL JONES
once came here to loot the captal of the
Shetlands. But lie rail away again speed
ily. Hundreds of Shetland woman
climbed the Kuab, a promontory near, to
nor a better v ew of the “Yankee Pirate.”
They all wore red petticoats. The hero
oi tue Kanger ami Richard beliving them
to be the red uniforms of a large garrison
of King George's soldiers, did not stop to
even “kipper” and eat a herring with the
Shetlanders, but made away as fast as his
ships’ sails could carry him to the Solway
Firth, where he failed in an attempt to de
spoil Scotland of her good Earl of Sel
kirk, in Kircudbright-shire. The area of
Bressay Island Is perhaps 12,000 acres. It.
has a population of 1,000 souls. All the
acres and people are the property of a very
pleasant and marriageble lady, bliss Cam
eron Monat, who lives in high state and
dudgeon, because of the modernization of
Shetland and the incomiug of tourists, at
her quaint old mansion-house of ‘GarJie,’
which lifts its huge chimneys and gables
exactly opposite the harbor and city of
Lerwick.
Facing old Lerwick from a steamer's
deck, or from Bressay island opposite, you
would almost fancy your vessel had by
gome trick of navigation, entered a port
of the^Netherlauds. If the level land and
dikes and weird old wind-mills of Hol
land could be thrown in behind Lerwick
for a background
THE DUTCH PICTURE WOULD BE COM
PLETE.
It is only 250 to 300 years old, but it looks
vastly older, and wriggles and twists along
its crescent shore in the quaintest archi
tectural composites. It is the northern
most town in Great Britain, and derives
its name, as well as that of its lovely bay,
from the Norse, leir, clay, and rik, a bay
or harbor. It has a population of 5,000
souls, doubled every year durring the her
ring and tourist season; but one feels that
the life and activity that bustle in the lit
tle place are wholly new, or at least differ
ent from that of old northern sea-kings
who made the port their haven of piracies
and their retreat for orgy, revel and feast.
If you could rehabilitate the people, take
away the emblems of British rule from
up the about Fort Charlotte, built by
Cromwell, where the Coast Guard are, and
fill again the harbor and pier with Dutch
herring-busses and ample breeched traders,
every nook, corner and cranny would have
its Amsterdam flavor and Reinbrahdt ef
fects, Indeed the mark of those sturdy
old fishers and traders upon Lerwick is so
universal, that one comes to resent its
present occupancy by another race, even
though its people are hospitable as the
the Irish, stolid and energetic as the Eng
lish and thrifty and canny as Aberdeen
Scotchmen—which is another remarkable
composite.
Architecturally, Lerwick is as odd a
town as you will find in all Europe. It is
built on the face of a brae, and the morn
ing sun, when it gets around far enough
north to shine at all in this region, looks
over Bressay island and peers squarely in
to its rough old face. Jumble upon jum
ble it straggles around to the southeast
and to the northeast for a good mile, in all
manner of curious groups and pile^; just
as though, upon a time, it had been
LEISURELY BUILT ON THE EDGE OF THE
HILL
above, and then the hill had gently shook
itself and everything had quietly slid
down its side, and finally got comfortably-
settled fronts, rears and gables, all inex
tricably yet satisfactorily askew. One re
calls description of Kendal; “They (the
houses) seem as though they had been
dancing a country dance and were out.
They slood back to back, corner to corner,
some up hill, some down. But Lerwick is
deliciously more so. It is up hill, down
hill, and all around itself. Yet there is
some little method in it all. For it is all
alongshore, and all upon, over, under and
near, a delightfully crooked and shadowy
thoroughfare following the vagarous sinu
osities of the shore, and a modern street,
or road, that at last was beaten along the
top of the hill, where the more pretentious,
but altogether uninteresting new town
lies connecting these two thoroughfares
are numerous lanes from three to seven
feet wide, at an angle of thirty-five degrees.
These with no end of still narrower wynds
and closes give one a longing for a game
of hide-and-seek” and recall a few of the
shadowy old ways at Mayence on the
Rhine, and the weird, sunless, silent ave
nues of Old Town, in Algiers. Odder than
ail else are the old houses, now reaching
to the water’s edge and in former times,
standing out into and above the water,
Th^ ancient burghers could not only
FISH OUT OF THEIR HACK WINDOWS,
but some bouses were so constructed that
a yawl-load of smuggled goods could, in
case of pursuit, be shot into convenient
openings, and the latter as instantly
closed. Numbers of buildings had secret
apartments, and you may still find struct
ures, at some distance from the shore, to
which spacious subterranean passages
lead from the bay. The simple Dutch
traders of those olden times knew how to
fear God and thrive.
Two of the most interesting, though
somewhat grewsome, objects of interest in
the little islands are the Pietish tower of
Mousa, and Fitful Head, of both of which
yon have caught glimpses from your
steamer. The Shetland Mainland, in its
general conformation extends north and
south in a narrow strip of land about
seventy miles long, and from three to
five miles wide, with an arm, perhaps
twelve miles long, extending westward
from its center, something in the form of
a Greek Cross, with its eastern ariu lopped
off. Lerwick and harbor are located
where the eastern arm would tit into the
socket; and about midway from Lerwick
to Sumburgh Head the island’s southern
extremity, on the eastern coast, is the
island of Mousa. A good walker can
journey from Derwick to Fitful Head, op
posite Sumburgh Head, seeing the,tower
of Mousa on the way, and return in one
day; thus inspecting the southern nearly
half of Shetland, and yet never stand on
a single spot where either the
GERMAN OR ATLANTIC OCEAN ABE NOT
VISIBLE.
The road to Mousa aud Fitful Head tra
verses the township of Fladdabisttr,
wiiere you will find nearly all tha “peerie
lairds” or little lords who own their lands
in freehold and sulk and strut in poverty
and in pride of their pure Norse descent,
uow remaining in Shetland. A boat must
be hired at Sandlodge, seat of the Shet
land Bruces, to cross the sound to the ut
terly dreary island of Mousa. The broch
or tower stands at the southwest corner
of the island, and is remarkable from an
antiquarian standpoint in being the largest
and finest example of the olden Pictisli
towers of defense now remaining in Eu
rope. They are very numerous in northern
Scotland and the Orkneys and Scotland.
Anderson givts 00 for Sutherlandsbire, 79
in Caithness, 70 in the Orkneys and 75 in
Shetland. The Mousa tower has the ap
pearance of a gray, ragged and gigantic
dice-box; is built of uucemented stones
like the great uEngns on the Irish Aran
Islands; is about 100 feet in circumference;
and it is still fully 40 feet high. The walls,
which are about 15 feet thick, are really
double or rather consist of two concantric
circles oj stone five feet thick, with an in-
tervenining space of equal width. This
space, chambered by making the floor of
one tier answer for the ceiling of the next
one below, light and air only being ad
mitted from the open interior, contained
all the barrack accommodation the hardy
warriors of old, kuew how or cared to
provide. A curious
SCREW-LIKE STONE STAIRCASE,
built into the iuner wall, winds around
within the tower, communicating with the
tiny stone chambers; and on the ground
floor are three large detached chambers,
15 feet long, 10 feet high, the width of the
space between the wails, in which are
square storage-holes or ambries. Mousa
is a wondrous old relic of Pagan times. I s
age is certainly 1,500 and perhaps 2,000
years. Strange chronicles flash along the
pages of Norse history regarding the or
gies, sieges and tragedies known within
this ancient tower; and we can easily
iearn that among its other uses it was
held in high repute 1,000 years ago by
Norse lovers of noble blood, as a sort of
impregnable Gretna Green. Many a
VikiDg has beseiged the sturdy place in
vain for daughter, or sweetheart, who has
found protection, a husband and a honey
moon, within its gray old walls.
By footpath across the moorland wastes
it is but about seven miles to Fitful Head.
It is the White Mountain of the Norse
men. on acount of tfle lustre of its slate
formation. Its high st crag rises fnlly
1,000 feet feet above the sea, but
THE LEGENDARY HABITATION OF NORNA
a bold almost detached, cliff lifting its sea
front into a point as sharp as a church
spire, is not more than three-fourths that
elevatioo. It is quite accessitde after a
rough scramble, and its sides are the
haunts of myriads of sea-fowl. Horrible
indeed must be the spot in time of storm.
But when I had accomplished the task of
scaling its heights, nature seemed asleep
and dreaming peacefully. Away down
there below, the sea was as calm as a
Highland loch. From the higher head
land the whole -_f Shetland could be seen
with a glass—waste, moor, hillock, valley,
glen; a land without forests, split and ser
rated by the ceaseless gnawings of the sea.
Tremendous precipices rose everywhere.
Lochs and tarns showed without copse or
verdure. Shadowy “hellyers” cut the sea
walls where the tide is ever at ebb or flow.
Here a fishing station; there a dreary
hamlet. Yonder a gravelly beach, with
fish carers and their sodden toil; beyond
a weird gio with a herd of seals turning
their shining sides to the low, red sun.
Overall, a fllray, dreamy, tender presence;
for in the brief days before the dark, long
winter sets in, it is “peerie summer” in
the Shetland Isles.
