Abstract
A REUTER telegram reports that the English tourist steamer Garonne arrived at Vadsö on August 2, and landed some of the members of the British expedition to observe the forthcoming eclipse of the sun. They proceeded at once to the south of the Varanger Fjord, where Her Majesty's cruiser Volage had already landed the astronomical instruments required for the observations. The steamship Norse King also arrived at Vadsö on Sunday with a large party of astronomers to observe the eclipse.
