! 10 ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, Ihw». WANEMAN’S WANDERING FURTHER ACCOUNTS OF THE SHET LAND ISLANDS. INCIDENTS ABOUT THE FAMOUS EL GRAU FBIFON—HOW I HE ISLANDS ARE APPROACHED—A DUTCH PICTURE. [Copyrighted for the Enquirer Sun.] 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. Edgar L.
