The first Norwegian coast town on the south frontier is FrederiksJiahl, com- manded on the south by the fortress of Frederiksteen, formerly the bulwark of Norway against the Swedes. An obelisk maiks the spot where Charles XII. fell in 1718, and another has been erected to Colbiernsen, defender of the place. But Frederikshald is now chiefly engaged in the export trade of the timber brought down by the river Tistedal. This is also the chief industry of Frederiksstady.
