The following is a translation from the Norwegian newspaper
_Morgenbledet_, dated Feb. 20th:—“By private letter from Utsue, an island
on the western coast of Norway, is communicated to Dapposten the
intelligence that on the 12th inst. some fishermen pulled on the Firth to
haul their nets, and had hardly finished their labour when they sighted
an extraordinary object some distance further out. The superstitious
fears of sea monsters which have been written a good deal about lately
held them back for some time, but their curiosity made them approach the
supposed sea monster, and, to their great surprise, they found that it
was something like a building. As the sea was calm they immediately
commenced to tow it to shore, where it was hauled up on the beach, and
was then found to be a damaged railway wagon. The wheels were off, the
windows smashed, and one door hanging on its hinges. By the name on it,
“Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway,” it was at once surmised that it must
have been one of the wagons separated from the train which met with the
disaster on the Tay Bridge. In the carriage was a portmanteau containing
garments, some of them marked ‘P.B.’ The wagon was sent, on the 14th, to
Hangesund, to be forwarded thence to Bergen.”
