Time Tables for Norway appear in '•Norges Communicationer' (pron.
Commoonicashoner; 30 0., English and German edition, 50 0.), and for
Sweden, in '■Sveriges fiommunikationer' (10 o.), both published weekly in
summer. Neither pf these, however, is very satisfactory; and travellers in
Norway are recommended to obtain Beyer's Tourists" Time-Tables of the Nor¬
wegian Railways, Steamers, and Diligences (published fortnightly; 50 0.) or
the similar publication issued by Bennell (p. 10). Beyer's time-tables will be
sent by post from Bergen on receipt of Gd. in British stamps, or may be
purchased at Swan & Leach Ltd., 3 Charing Cross, London. The 'Sommer-
ruter' of the various fjord steamboat lines may be obtained at Stavanger,
Bergen, Aalesund, and Molde. Among other time-tables may be mentioned
the Reichs-Kursbuch (Berlin) and the Reisel\ste for Kongeriget Danmark (Co¬
penhagen),, which travellers to pr from Germany will flnd useful.
Obsérve that many of the summer time-tables, especially those of the
fjord steamers, hold good till the end of August only.
Steamboats (Norw. Dampskibe, Sw. Angbàtar). The regulsr
Norwegian coasting trafile is almost entirely in the hands of the
Bergenske and the Nordenfjeldske Dampskibs-Selskab, which have
a common time-table. The headquarters of the former are at Bergen,
those of the latter at Trondhjem. (Agents at Christiania and New¬
castle, see p. xiv.) The smaller steamers plying on the Norwegian
fjords are comfortable enough during the day, but their sleeping
accommodation is poor, and on market-days they are apt to be over-
crowded. The same remark applies to the smaller coasting steamers
on the Baltic and on the Swedish canals.
Most travellers will, of course, travel in the first cabin. Those
who are about to spend one or more nights on board should at
once s ecure'th'eir berths (kojen) in a stateroom (Norw. lugar, Swed.
hyti) by perso nal application to the steward. Otherwise they may
have to put up with sofas in the dining-saloon, with the additional
disadvantage of having to quit their couches before early breakfast
(6 or 7 a.m.). There are always a separate ladies' cabin and a smok-
ing-room. A passenger travelling with his family by mail-steamer in
Norway pays full fare for himself, but is usually entitled to a re-
duction ('Moderation'; pron. 'moderashon') of 50 per cent on the
