As Bodö was considered as offering conditions not favourable for serious work, this pretty town, so easily accessible for the greater number of European astronomers, was left unprovided with any astronomical instrument. And yet that town was, during the eclipse, favoured by a cloudless sky, which could have given magnificent results. I had the good fortune to observe there the wonderful phenomenon, and to make (what was chiefly my purpose) a sketch of the general outline and the rays of the corona. I do not think that among the thousands of Norwegians who witnessed that grand spectacle there were more than twenty foreigners, almost all English and American ladies and gentlemen.
