STOCKHOLM TO ULEABORG.

LOCAL OBSERVATIONS. 
Kojky. This is, properly fpeaking, not a place for changing horfes. We 
however took this route at the advice of the governor of Wafa, who 
directed the peafants to keep horfes in readinefs for us, in order that, 
by going on the river, we might get upon the ice of the fea, and thus 
travel more eatily with our fledges; but I cannot recommend this 
road. The peafmts are not accuftomed to this employment, and do 
not know how to a£t, fo that one is expofed to inconvenience. 
We came by the common pod-road to Manmo ; but the two lafl miles 
were over land, and the ways extremely bad. I have reafon to fuf- 
pedt that the peafants did not follow the orders of the governor, and 
the route he had traced out for us. The whole of the way from 
Manmo to Onganger was over the ice of the fea. 
Onganger. No place for paflengers to lodge at. W T e proceeded con- 
flantly over the Frozen Sea, traverfing the bays, and palling between 
iflands or rocks, that rofe above the furface of the ice. On the left 
the high fea is feen, on the right the coaft, which is very flat, and 
prefects at fome diftance pine woods to view. 
Mono is a peafant’s houfe, without any accommodation for travellers. 
One-third of the way goes over the ice of the fea, two-thirds over 
land. 
Skrivars. I faw no place for the reception of paffengers. We went 
continually on the ice of the fea, where we faw fome boats frozen in, 
near to which we palled with our fledges. 
Fyrkarnefs. No place to accommodate flrangers. This is likewife a 
deviation from the main road, which we preferred, for the benefit ol 
the ice by fea, as the pafiage over land was very bad. We were com¬ 
pelled to travel all night for want of lodging, and fearing the thaw, 
\vhich began to diminifh the ice.
