LICHTENAU. 219 



islands, we continued our journey. This niglit (it was the 

 21st to the 22nd) it was scarcely dark at midnight ; but 

 the fog, which in the evening had lain around the tops of 

 the mountains, grew thicker and thicker, and towards 

 morning fell in a soft rain. After midnight we passed 

 the Island of Omarsuk and a great heart-shaped moun- 

 tain, which the Greenlanders on that account call the 

 Mountain of the World, and neared the district of 

 Julianeshaab. Towards five in the morning we reached 

 the entrance of the Fjord. Here on a cliff we took a 

 little rest. The heavy work on this long boat journey, 

 on which we could not once use the sail, had told greatly 

 upon our men, and added to that was the damp, cold 

 weather, from which we were quite unprotected. But 

 the hot strong coffee, which soon ran into the mugs from 

 the faithful old kettle, and a good portion of bread and 

 meat, helped us considerably. Actively we went on. Soon 

 we were between the islands which stretch before the 

 colony, the largest of which, right in front of Juhaneshaab, 

 is called Storo. Two hours more, and the end of our last 

 journey in Greenland — Julianeshaab — was reached.
