heavy squalls of snow--the same in which the
Russian line-of-battle ship "_Lefort_," foundered in the Gulf of
Finland. In the mild, calm, sunny, autumn days which followed, the
beautiful city charmed us more than ever, and I felt half inclined to
take back all I had said against the place, during the dismal weather of
last spring. The trees in the Djurgard and in the islands of Malar, were
still in full foliage; the Dalecarlian boatwomen plied their crafts in
the outer harbour; the little garden under the Norrbro was gay with
music and lamps every evening; and the brief and jovial summer life of
the Swedes, so near its close, clung to the flying sunshine, that not a
moment might be suffered to pass by unenjoyed.

In another week we were standing on the deck of the Prussian steamer
"_Nagler_," threading the rocky archipelago between Stockholm and the
open Baltic on our way to Stettin. In leaving the North, after ten
months of winter and summer wanderings, and with scarce a hope of
returning again, I found myself repeating, over and over again, the
farewell of Frithiof:--

"_Farval, J fjallar,
Der aran bor;
J runohallar,
For valdig Thor;
J blaa sjoar,
Jag kant sa val;
J skar och oar,_
_Farval, farval!_"

THE END.
