beautiful. I must not omit to write to him 

 hereafter ; for, according to his account, he 

 never expected to see an honest Swede. 

 I wish Mr. Ingerald* may come and visit 

 our neighbourhood, that I may have an op- 

 portunity of testifying my gratitude for his 

 kindness, which otherwise I can never repay. 



July 14. 



In the morning I took leave of Mr. Rask, 

 and returned with the master of the boat 

 to Torfjorden. I had now before me the 

 whole of this western Archipelago, and was 

 told that, if we were to steer our course 

 directly westward, we should arrive at 

 Greenland. The conversation on our pas- 

 sage turned much upon a certain West 

 Gothlander, who had been guilty of some 

 treacherous conduct, and told various false- 

 hoods. (To this the above conversation of 

 Mr. Rask probably alluded). 



* Who Mr, Ingerald was, does not appear. Per- 

 haps the master of the boat, or somebody whom Lin- 

 n«us met at the house of the good curate.
