THREE VISITS TO ICELAND. 135 There were various wines, the principal a light French one called Cloterre, and the old man pressed us continually to replenish our glasses. After dinner we took a warm fare- well, and Grimur promised to come and see us at Reykjavik the last day of our stay, but would not fix a time. He started a little way with us, then turned back, leaving the little boy to guide us to the boat. We had to walk a long way round, as the tide was out. All the spits of land are covered with tern and, the boy told us, eider duck. At the landing-place we bade farewell to our little guide. I offered him a krona, which at first he would have refused, but I told him it was just a little gift to buy something for himself, so he smilingly took it, as I intended, as a little schoolboy “tip.”* He goes to the Latinskola here, and seems a clever boy. The old farmer’s assistant carried us all one by one on board the boat. We ran home under half an hour, with a fair wind and a funny little bit of sail up, the men also rowing. During the voyage the younger man took out a very pretty- shaped snuff-horn, and poured a good dose of snuff up each nostril from the narrow end ! They were very kind in putting us ashore, but the rocks at the edge were fearfully slippery with seaweed—almost worse than Isle of Wight rocks—and poor B. landed in a heap on them, but was not hurt. Old Markus and his friend seemed very pleased with the seven kronur, for which they had engaged, and we took a cordial leave and walked home. On the way we met Asta Pjetursson. She told me she had just been on board the Vesta, the steamer just in from Scotland; but that most of the English passengers had gone on in her to the north. We were to have had an expedition with Asta to Videy to-day, 5th, but the rain put a stop to it. On the hotel step we saw our friend, one of the brothers C., * The boy subsequently returned this, with a note, saying that he was forbidden to take payment from guests !
