t 36 North- West Peninsula of Iceland. forced down to the water’s edge, and wound about among little bays and creeks. It was a pleasant evening; but we were not sorry to see the first suburban-looking house, which told that Akreyri was near at hand. It was then 10 o’clock; the Club House had ceased to exist, and it was with difficulty that shelter was found for the night. We would willingly have pitched our tent, but there was no patch of ground whereon to do so ; everywhere it was either muddy, or hard and trodden. After some parley, two empty rooms were found, in a half- deserted house, and we slept on the floor, the new boards of which felt much harder than those of any church we had yet inhabited. Akreyri is the second town in Iceland and shelters 600 inhabitants, yet no supper could be obtained at 11 p. m. Recourse was had to our reserve of potted meats. Sunday was cold and showery, and the town appeared deserted; yet it is but right to add, that of all Icelandic towns Akreyri is the most cheer- ful and most pleasant, as well as the most busy. It consists of a long straggling line of houses fronting the fjorSr and separated from the waters by a broad road and a narrow beach, and immediately behind the town the mountains rise up almost perpendicularly.
