OUTFIT, GUIDES AND PONIES. 29 ■with a few tins of soup and meat, a few lbs. of biscuits or a loaf or two of bread, make up one and a half cwt. of baggage. The pro- visions should be stowed in the lower part of the boxes, as articles of clothing can be carried very conveniently in the pocket of the ‘ Garnet Wolseley,’ of rolled up in one’s blankets. The articles mentioned, with the suit he stands up in, a stout Macintosh, a thick woollen scarf, his field-glass, fishing-tackle book, a bottle of brandy or whisky, and a little aperient medicine, is all the sports- man absolutely needs. If he is luxuriously minded, and wishes to take a large supply of wines, preserved soups, meats and vegetables with him, he will have to hire or buy additional pack-ponies to carry them. Preserved provisions are readily obtainable at Leith, therefore there is no necessity to incur the expense of carriage from London. Libby, McLean & Libby’s preserved soups and meats are cheaper than those of most other firms, and in the author’s opinion the soups are superior even to those of Crosse & Black- well’s, which are one-third dearer. Sportsmen can shoot and fish very comfortably by sending on a supply of provisions, etc., to the farm or farms at which they purpose to seek quarters; and if they have not been in Iceland before and wish to see the sights de rigeur, there are three plans open to them. (1) To select the capital sporting district lying be- tween p'mgvallavatn and the pjdrsa (Bull- river), see Route 1 ; or the valley of the western Hv'ita—Routes 3 and 4. At Reykjavik, a man and ponies can be hired from Zoega to convey the extra baggage, cartridges and provisions to a parsonage or farm in either district. Any parson or farmer, even if he is unwilling to accom- modate sportsmen, will readily take charge of any articles left at his house. These districts are respectively two and three days’ journey from the capital. A visit can be made to Kr'nuvik later on in search of reindeer. Or (2) select one of the valleys in the N. or N.E.—See List of Salmon Rivers, and Routes 3 and 5—and forward the guns and rifles (it is not allowed to shoot now before August 1st), and other heavy baggage round by the Danish steamer to the trading post nearest the locality selected, and the sportsmen can send for them upon their arrival. They will then be at liberty to start from Reykjavik and make a comprehensive tour in the south, and enjoy some fishing, and subsequently cross the island to the north by the very interesting route laid down in Route 3. The third plan is to land at Reykjavik from the Camoens, make the tour laid down in Route 1, and return so as to catch the Danish steamer round to one of the northern posts; hire ponies
