Between the damage and staining to the reverse side of the card and my troubles with old handwriting, all I get are bits and pieces; but I can tell you that this is a description of a trip, the route of which is also marked by a line drawn in the map on the obverse side of the card:
- 31 May mentions the departure from Hamburg at 1 A.M., something else at 5 A.M. and the arrival at Helgoland at 9 P.M.
- 1 June had the Skagerak at 10 A.M., the Norwegian coast was in sight at noon and at 6 P.M. they were at Stavanger. Something else half past eight P.M.
- 2 June had something at 4 A.M., something else at 9:15 A.M. and mentions some Fjord.
- 3 June had something at 10 A.M. and mentions the Hardangerfjord and the Sognefjord.

"Go see if you can
find me I am sitting by
the wall of the house and

Thanks again HPL!
