218 EAST BOTHLAND. 



September 21. 



Being the feast of St. Matthew the apo- 

 stle, I went to church at Gambia Carleby. 

 Here is an introductory school, to prepare 

 children for that at Cronby. 



I passed on to Jacobstadt, which has a 

 remarkably good harbour. Ships are able 

 to load and unload close to the quay. 



September 22. 



Leaving Jacobstadt, I arrived at the town 

 of New Carleby, M-hich is nearly as big as 

 Wexio. Every one of the streets is laid 

 with timbers, placed cross-wise, instead of 

 stones, like a bridge, which has a hand- 

 some appearance. The harbour of this 

 place is near the river, a quarter of a mile 

 from the town. Vessels when laden in- 

 deed can scarcely come within half a mile. 

 On the shore lay vast piles of wood, de- 

 stined to be conveyed to Stockholm for 

 fuel.
