Northern Seas, that it may be of interest to learn the actual state of the wader

The Murman Railway, which really may be said to commence at Petrograd. is divided into five sections:

"1. Petrograd-Zwanka, 114 verats (70 miles) (old railway).

Marman Port, the terminus at Kols, lies 10 vests to the north of the small towa of Kola, and thanks to the Gulf stream, it is never closed by icc. So far there have been constructed wooden quays for three large steamers, and a craze of 25 tons capacity has been installed. The inner port is spacious and well protected, and more than 40 good fized boats have. been anchored there at the same time. Besides, Kola Bay itself makes an excel- lent harbour, from 1.200 to 3,800 yards broad, with a depth of water of 7015. The greatest diference between high and low water is 18ft. With comparatively little current. At low water the depth at the quay is 8011,
