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.
