28 GUIDE TO ICELAND. What to take.—The author is afraid that he will he thought very un gallant in not having alluded to the ladies’ outfit first, but never having travelled with a lady in or out of Iceland he is forced to confess that he does not know what they are likely to need. Therefore he will invoke the aid of the well-known lady-artist, Mrs. Blackburn, who quite recently made a tour to pingvellir and the Geysir. She says, ‘ Except a Shetland shawl and cloak sent with the luggage, I carried all I wanted with me on my pony in a pair of coarse woollen saddle-bags, I had bought two years ago in Barcelona, a change of raiment on one side, a pair of strong boots and sketching material on the other, carefully balanced as to weight, and well fastened to the saddle. I took a light Macintosh with me in case of wet, but never had occasion to use it. As to dress, a short serge riding habit with “cleeks” to fasten up the skirt for walking, and a felt hat with brim enough to shade the eyes, but not wide enough to catch the wind, answered the purpose very well.’ As two pack-ponies, one as a relay, will be needed on long journeys for every one and a half cwt. of baggage (really about two cwt. with the boxes, saddle, etc.), it becomes important to consider ‘ what to take.’ The male, like the female, tourist will have no difficulty in limiting his necessaries within the limits of one cwt., so as to have abundant space for the half cwt. of biscuits, preserved provisions, etc., it is advisable to take with one. There- fore it is to the sportsman alone that the author will give a few hints as to what should be taken. At the outset it must be stated that it is impossible for the sportsman who intends making a lengthy tour to do with two pack-ponies, unless he is willing to be content mainly with the native fare, supplemented by the produce of his rod and gun, and at the most half a cwt. of preserved pro- visions, biscuits, etc. His rifle, gun and rod will weigh about 20 lbs., and 300 cartridges (exclusive of 50 rounds for the rifle) = 35 lbs., while his blankets and poles, or Garnet Wolseley, will weigh, say, another 20 lbs., = to 75 lbs. ; a spare suit of clothes; a pair of light shooting boots ; a ‘ relay ’ of flannel underclothing (no one should travel in Iceland, where occasionally sudden and great changes of temperature take place, without wearing flannel next the buff), two of each article will suffice, as they can be washed at a farm when necessary; two or three coloured woollen shirts, each with half a dozen collars of the same material; three pairs of socks (excellent hand-knitted socks and stockings are to be bought almost anywhere in the country); handkerchiefs, etc., will,
