I was obliged to remain three days in Haparanda, applying poultices, gargles, and liniments, according to the doctor's instructions.
At half-past nine, a large white church announced our approach to Haparanda, and soon afterwards we drove up to the inn, which was full of New-Year carousers. The landlord gave us quarters in the same room with an old Norrlander, who was very drunk, and annoyed us not a little until we got into bed and pretended to sleep.
I had left the great "Snow Land," or snow belt, which seemed to be between 62 and 64 degrees north, behind me. After changing horses at several post stations I came to the little towns of Skellefteå, Piteå, and Luleå, and at last I reached Haparanda, situated at the extreme northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia, at the mouth of the Torne river, the most northern town in Sweden.
I judged at last that the horses had been baited sufficiently, silently showed my watch to the postilions, who, with ourselves, got up and went away without a word having been said to mar the quaint drollery of the incident. While at Haparanda, we had been recommended to stop at Kingis Bruk, at the junction of the Torneå and Muonio.
