a little, almost land-locked Cove (50 nestling among the hills a half- where a wharf and warehouses have been built. mile north of town;) The sea was too rough to permit us to land the evening of our arrival or to allow any kayaks to come off to us, but early the next morning the water was calm and several of the odd little crafts were clustered about our gangway and their occupants were offering for barter ducks, fish, a few articles of local manufacture and, of all things most unexpected in this out of the way corner of the world, cigars for barter or sale. The kayaks were not so good as those which we had seen at Godhavn, and the skin clothing, carvings and models of sleds and boats were not so nu- merous or so well made.
