LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
Yowala. Here you find a room with two beds, at the fervice of travellers.
The whole of this coaft prefents nothing interefting to the
painter: the country is flat;
Keviahoto. No reception for travellers. We travelled continually on
the ice, though the paffage was far from being pleafant, on account
of the rocks by which the ice was broken, and the road made very
uneven and rough.
Luoto. Here are two or three rooms to accommodate travellers. You
may even get coffee at this place.
Siniluoto. The poft-houfe being on the ihore, we had no occafinn to.
drive up to it, but the horfes, which were ready, were fent down to
u s : they were put to on the ice, and we purfucd our journey. I do
not know whether there are any lodgings for paflengers.
Brahfiad is a fmall town, which has a fea-port, and carries on iome
commerce. There is an indifferent fort of inn there ; and the town
does not appear to advantage upon entering it.
LaJJila. No lodging for travellers. The peafants feem to be poor.
Gertuala. No accommodation for ftrangers. There is a church, and the
parion lives in a very comfortable houfe. He is laid to be one of the
richeft clergymen in Finland.
Karicanda. Paflengers find a lodging here: there is a parlour and two
bed-rooms.
Uleaborg. The capital of Oftrobothnia. It is the refidence of a governor
and fome inferior magiftrates.
