FROM THE SOLITUDE OF AGES
HOFN HORN A FJORD. Iceland. (AP)— This
little fishing and farming village, situated on a point
of land jutting out between two shallow jfords that
penetrate the south coast of Iceland for nearly 25
miles, awakened recently to find itself “discovered”
as the first stopping place in Iceland of the Amer
ican flyers who Anally succeeded in their historic
attempt to circle the world by air.
But Hofn Hornafjord had been discovered be
fore. It was near here, on August 3, 874. that the
old viking Ingolfur Arnarson. fleeing from the mis
rule of the Norse ruler. Harold Haarfager. first sight
ed the Iceland coast and threw from his galley its
high seat pillars that he might build his home
where the gods caused them to be blown ashore.
Just 1050 years later, to a day. Lieutenant Lowell
H. Smith, commander of the American birdmen.
taxied into the harbor of Hofn Hornafjord and was
greeted by the decendants of those sailormen who
accompanied old Ingolfur on his adventurous quest.
One of them, the pilot Bjorn Eymundsson. traces
his ancestry from a comrad of Ingolfur. and wears
on gala occasions a pin of blue bearing a white
gull, the symbol that floated at the masthead of
the viking ship.
Located on a narrow neck of land that separ
ates the high mountains of the interior from the
sea. the village is primarily a farming community
with livestock and dairying its principal activities.
On the little farms that dot the mainland and the
islands of the fjords, grass is raised for winter
food for the cattle and ponies. Vegetables, such
as potatoes and other roots that can mature in the
brief summer months of warmth, are grown to
snppliment the food supplies of the inhabitants.
In the sheltered valleys that penetrate the glaciers
of the inteilor, herds of reindeer graze during the
sux mer months, moving to the milder climate of
the coastline as winter approaches.
Fishing is the great winter industry and in
November and December, when heavy storms sw'eep
the northern and western coasts, fleets of fishing
vessles harbor in the quiet waters of the fjord
and trawl the offlying banks for herring, cod and
other northern fish. These are soaked or dried and
shipped to the continent of Europe, where the
Icelandic products are in great demand. One of
the principal customers of the Hornafjord fisheri s
is Portugal, which in return ships wines to the
northern island.

Hornafjord, and along the seaward side of the long
atnral breakwater that guards it from the Atlantic

VIKINGS OF OLD TIMES SHOWED
GREAT SKILL AS NAVIGATORS
REYKJAVIK. Iceland, CAP)—American naval
officers who lately visited Iceland in connection with
the globe-encircling flight of the American avia
tors were greatly interested in the navigational
ri-ihods of the old vikicgs who. more than 1,000
years ago. sailed their little vessels, without com
passes or other instruments. across the storm
beaten north Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland and
even to the shores of North America.
Even today the charts of these waters are
largely based on the observations and soundings
made by whalers and the early explorers, scores
of years ago, and the few large vessels that to
day visit these seas proceed with the utmost caut- I
ion. Sailing directions, the “Bible of the Sea,” '
are carefully consulted and when new soundings
are made the results are sent to the different gov
ernments for incorporation in the charts. But
when Leif Erickson and the other adventurous old
Norsemen of more than ten centuries ago set out
on their dangerous voyages, there were no charts
and the stars were their only guides. The ob
servations they made were for centuries the only
sailing directions, and were chanted, in the form
of sagas, as the gallyes swept over the rough sea.
Some of the sagas exist today, and old pilots at
Reykjavik are familiar with the lore they contain.
One of these describing the journey from Nor
way to Greenland, not only takes account of the
physical features to be watched fr. but advises the
navigators to keep a lookout for the birds and
whales that mark the approaches to the Icelandic
A naval officer who made a study of this route
found it was almost a perfect great-circle, or a
shortest sailing route, worked out w*-\.iout any
scienffie aids hv navigators who proha. •? could
i.etther read or write.
