STOCKHOLM TO ULEABORG. 355
LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
Talvizie. Here is a room for travellers. As there were no young men
in the houfe, a young gir] followed the fledge in the capacity of driver. °
This is a very common thing in Finland, that girls attend the tfa-
vellers, in order to take back the horfes.
Tuokola. No lodging. There are two houfes on the left bank of a
river, on which we travel as far as Gumfila, and which being open in
fome places threatened us with danger.
Gumfila. 1 perceived no place where a ftranger might be lodged. As
our journey was to continue on the fame river which would pre-
fent the fame dangers, two guides offered themfelves to thew us the
fafeft route.
Sillampe: good accommodation for paflengers. There lived a widow in
eafy circumftances, as it appeared, who was provided with every thing
neceflary for travellers. Here is a fmall church,
Tooby. Anapartment for ftrangers. The country is fiat. Meadows of
confiderable extent, which having been flooded, afforded a pleafant
paffage for our fledges over the ice.
Wafa is the capital of the government of the fame name, There isa
fea-port, a tribunal of juflice, a prefident, and a governor.
