LOCAL OBSERVATIONS,
Kiala: a houfe in the famous wood of Kyro. The accommodations are
pretty good: the road is conftantly among the woods: we faw foxes.
Pajfkana-kaifi. Strangers may get alodging here. The road goes through
the wood, and for the laft quarter of a mile (Swed.) over the ice of a
fmall lake.
Kuifwais. Here is fome fort of lodging for ftrangers. The road conftantly
among the woods, where you now and then will meet with a little
lake. The peafants do not follow the main road in thefe woods, but
keep the ftraighteft line poffible; and in order not to mifs their way,
the trees that you ought to pafs have been marked with a hatchet.
This is the fame mode of travelling as is adopted in the woods of
America.
Kakua. No lodging for ftrangers. We paffed a little river, the ice of
which cracked under our fledges, and threatened to break every mo-
ment.
Lamba, pronounced Lambé. There is a great room with three beds for
travellers.
Reinicka. Yn this houfe they gave us a kind of very coarfe cheefe,
which they roaft by the fire in the fame manner as they toaft the
cheefe in England. The people are of a very hofpitable difpofition.
We proceeded for two miles over the ice, which in fome places is fo
clear and tranfparent, that we could fee the ftones and fifhes at the
bottom.
