 had business to transact, and curiosity attracted me.  I did
not at that time know that I should have occasion to visit this pretty
little town again, and would not leave without seeing it.

The suburbs are built entirely of wood, and contain many pretty one-story
houses, surrounded, for the most part, by little gardens.  The situation
of the suburbs is very peculiar.  Rocks, or little fields and meadows,
often lie between the houses; the rocks even now and then cross the
streets, and had to be blasted to form a road.  The view from one of the
hills over which the road to the town lies is truly beautiful.

The town has two large squares: on the smaller one stands the large
church; on the larger one the town-hall, the post-office, and many pretty
houses.  In the town every thing is built of bricks.  The river Ham flows
through the large square, and increases the traffic by the many ships and
barks running into it from the sea, and bringing provisions, but
principally fuel, to market.  Several bridges cross it.  A visit to the
well-stocked fish-market is also an interesting feature in a short visit
to this town.

I entered a Swedish house for the first time here.  I remarked that the
floor was strewed over with the fine points of the fir-trees, which had
an agreeable odour, a more healthy one probably than any artificial
perfume.  I found this custom prevalent all over Sweden and Norway, but
only in hotels and in the dwellings of the poorer classes.

About eleven o'clock in the forenoon we continued our journey.  We
steered safely through the many rocks and shoals, and soon reached the
open sea again.  We did not stand out far from the shore, and saw several
telegraphs erected on the rocks.  We soon lost sight of Denmark on the
left, and arrived at the fortress Friedrichsver towards evening, but
could not see much of it.  Here the so-called Scheren begin, which extend
sixty leagues, and form the Christian's Sound.  By what I could see in
the dim twilight, the scene was beautiful.  Numerous islands, some merely
consisting of bare rocks, others overgrown with slender p

 not at that meter acknowledge that I should have occasion to visit this pretty 
 fiddling town again, and would not leave without experience it. 

 The suburbs are built wholly of forest, and contain many pretty one - report 
 houses, surrounded, for the most character, by little gardens.   The situation 
 of the suburbs is very peculiar.   Rocks, or little field and meadows, 
 often lie down between the houses; the rocks even now and then cross the 
 street, and had to be blasted to form a road.   The view from one of the 
 hills over which the road to the township lies is truly beautiful. 

 The town has two large squares: on the little one stands the large 
 church; on the larger one the town - hall, the post - office, and many pretty

 through the big public square, and increase the traffic by the many ships and 
 bark running into it from the sea, and bringing provisions, but 
 chiefly fuel, to market.   Several bridges cross it.   A visit to the 
 well - stocked fish - market is also an interesting feature in a short visit 
 to this township.
