was a barn, but it turned out to be the House of Parliament, there the members sit and deliberate in great solemnity once a year. It required no guide or sense of sight to find the next important building. Following our noses through ever in- creasing odours we reached the factory, presided over by Mr Ostrom, in which fish livers were streaming, stewing and boiling in cauldrons, presided over by men begrimed with dirt and oil. We did not linger here long but proceeded to his private residence, where the traditional gate is replaced by the jaws of a gigantic whale. From here one passenger started to visit an extraordinary old church, which we had seen in the distance at Kirkboe For three hours the way lay over hills, rock and bogs, ending with a precipice which had to be carefully climbed ; but the panting and struggling was amply repaid by the scenery which is most desolate and weird.

The ruined church is a very quaint specimen of antique English workmanship. Although commenced in the beginning of the 12th century the four walls and cloisters remain, decorated with carvings finished and unfinished ; for the good Bishop Hila- nus, who planned the work, died before the build- ing was completed.

One of these pillars at Osterve has fallen across a deep
