ULEABORG TO THE NORTH CAPE. 363
LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
Leaving Uleaborg, you have to crofs the river in a ferry-boat, which will
hold horfes and carriage. The ferry is at the mouth of the river,
where it is two miles and about 100 yards broad. You coaft along
two iflands, Piti Saari and Hiela Saari, and leave them on the left.
On thefe iflands they boil the tar, which conftitutes the chief article
of the exports of Uleaborg.
Tukuri. Some arrangement for the reception of travellers. Here is the
river Aukipudas to pafs in a ferry. It is about four hundred and
fifty yards acrofs. The roads excellent; you fee every where great
woods.
Kaupila. A room for paffengers. The country almoft quite flat. A
great deal of pine and fir-wood :; birches very common.
The village of Vejola is fituated on one fide, and the fmall town of Lo
on the other fide of the river Lo, which is fix hundred and twenty-
five yards broad. There is much falmon caught in this neighbour-
hood.
Safi. No dwelling for travellers. A girl of twenty years of age at-
tended us in the quality of driver. Here is another ferry over the
river Kuivaniemi which you have to pafs: it is about one hundred
and fifty yards acrofs.
Teftile. A room for paffengers.
Hutta. A fet of peafant’s houfes, where a traveller may be accom-
modated.
