ABSTRACT

But it was of little avail. At Trondheim and Bergen the landings took place practically unopposed,

though at the latter place the Konigsberg1 and Bremse were damaged by shore batteries ; at Kristiansand four separate attempts to enter the fiord were foiled by gunfire from Odderoy Island, and a German steamer ahead of the groups was hit and set on fire ; there and at Arendal further delay was caused by mist, but both places were occupied before noon. Only at Oslo was the landing seriously checked.
