On the fourth day the bill of fare of the first was repeated, and the same course followed again.

At the end of every dinner we had black coffee.

The supper was like the breakfast,--tea-water, ship's biscuit and butter.
I wished to have provided myself with some chickens, eggs, and potatoes in Reikjavik, but I could not obtain any of these luxuries.

Very few chickens are kept--only the higher officials or merchants have them; eggs of eider-ducks and other birds may often be had, but more are never collected than are wanted for the daily supply, and then only in spring; for potatoes the season was not advanced enough.

My readers have now a picture of the luxurious life I led on board the ship.
