Kardis, a peafant’s houfe. Boats and attendants to be had.
At Kengis Bruk is an iron foundery, the infpeCtor of which lives in a
good and convenient houfe: a great waterfall, Near this place the
river Tornea joins the river Muonio.
Kollare is a fmall village where the peafants feem to be in pretty eafy
circumfiances : boats and attendance. Here we had the famous Si-
mon, the moft active and expert Finlander of any we ever met with,
in mounting up and defcending from the waterfalls. Some of them
in this direction are quite impaflable ; you are then obliged to drag
the boat for a mile over land, among woods that are almoft impe-
netrable.
Muonionifca, a fmall hamlet, with a church anda parfon. You may
get a lodging here, and boats with attendance. Between Kollare and
Muonionifca you meet with a fmall colony called Kiglange, confitt-
ing only of two families that are very poor.
