They opened an immense chest for me there, which seemed to contain only large pieces of tallow made in the form of cheeses; but under this tallow I found the library, where I discovered an interesting treasure.

This was, besides several very old books in the Icelandic tongue, three thick folio volumes, which I could read very easily; they were German, and contained Luther's doctrines, letters, epistles, &c.
I had now seen all there was to be seen, and began to satisfy my physical wants by calling for some hot water to make coffee, &c.

As usual, all the inhabitants of the place ranged themselves in and before the church, probably to increase their knowledge of the human race by studying my peculiarities.

I soon, however, closed the door, and prepared a splendid couch for myself.

At my first entrance into the church, I had noticed a long box, quite filled with sheep's wool.
