At length, on Sunday the 4th of May, a favourable wind sprung up.  Herr
Knudson sent me word to be ready to embark at noon on board the fine brig
_John_.

I immediately proceeded on board.  The anchor was weighed, and the sails,
unfolding themselves like giant wings, wafted us gently out of the
harbour of Copenhagen.  No parting from children, relations, or
old-cherished friends embittered this hour.  With a glad heart I bade
adieu to the city, in the joyful hope soon to see the fulfilment of my
long-expected journey.

The bright sky smiled above us, and a most favourable wind filled our
sails.  I sat on deck and revelled in the contemplation of scenes so new
to me.  Behind us lay spread the majestic town; before us the Sound, an
immense natural basin, which I could almost compare to a great Swiss
lake; on the right and left were the coasts of Sweden and Denmark, which
here approach each other so closely that they seem to oppose a barrier to
the further progress of the adventurous voyager.

Soon we passed the little Swedish town of Carlscrona, and the desolate
island Hveen, on which Tycho de Brahe passed the greater portion of his
life, occupied with stellar observations and calculations.  Now came a
somewhat dangerous part, and one which called into action all the careful
seamanship of the captain to bring us safely through the confined sea and
the strong current,--the entrance of the Sound into the Cattegat.

The two coasts here approach to within a mile of each other.  On the
Swedish side lies the pretty little town of Helsingborg, on the Danish
side that of Helsingor, and at the extremity of a projecting
Iceland every spring, and cruises 
 among the different harbours until the center of August.   She
