There was something very touching about this gift from a shipwrecked mariner to his betrothed.
The oldest of the Norwegian journals, the "Morgen-Blad," was the first to relate the story of the "Viking" and Ole Kamp; and of the thirty-seven other papers published in that country at the time, not one failed to allude to it in touching terms.

The illustrated "Nyhedsblad" published an ideal picture of the shipwreck.

There was the sinking "Viking," with tattered sails and hull partially destroyed, about to disappear beneath the waves.

Ole stood in the bow throwing the bottle containing his last message into the sea, at the same time commending his soul to God.

In a luminous cloud in the dim distance a wave deposited the bottle at the feet of his betrothed.
