{f:31} Between the islands of Ferroe the Sea exhibits a phenomenon,
called, in the dialect of the Islanders, the Boff. Whilst the salt
stream runs strong and glassy through its narrow channel, it is suddenly
deformed by seven successive breakers, huge and foamy, which occur
without any apparent cause, and infallibly overwhelm any boat which may
chance to be in the way of their fury.
{f:32} The ancient Northern god of music and poetry.
{f:33} A mountain in the Scottish Highlands.
{f:34} The Duergar, or Dwarf-elves, of Scandinavia are famous for the
dexterity with which they fabricate ornaments of every kind, from the
gold which they dig out of the depths of the hills.
{f:35} Kemp, a warrior.--_Old Eng_. _Dan_. Kiempe.
