STOCKHOLM TO ULEABORG. 361
LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
Yowala. Were you find a room with two beds, at the fervice of tra-
vellers. The whole of this coaft prefents nothing interefting to the
painter: the country is flat.
Kevialuoto. No reception for travellers. We travelled continually on
the ice, though the paflage was far from being pleafant, on account
of the rocks by which the ice was broken, and the road made very
uneven and rough.
Luoto. Here are two or three rooms to accommodate travellers. Yor
may even get coffee at this place.
Siniluoto. The poft-houfe being on the fhore, we had no occafion to.
drive up to it, but the horfes, which were ready, were fent down to
us: they were put to on the ice, and we purfued our journey. Ido
not know whether there are any lodgings for paffengers.
Brakefiad is a {mall town, which has a fea-port, and carries on fome
commerce. ‘There is an indifferent fort of inn there; and the town
does not appear to advantage upon entering it.
Laffla. No lodging for travellers, The peafants feem to be poor.
Gertuala. No accommodation for ftrangers. There is a church, and the
parfon lives in a very comfortable houfe. He is faid to be one of the
richeft clergymen in Finland.
Karicanda. Paffengers find a lodging here: there is a parlour and two
bed-rooms..
Uleaborg. The capital of Oftrobothnia. It is the refidence of a go-
vernor and fome inferior magiftrates.
