Judging by the number of cannons planted along the walls, this fortress must be of great importance.

A few hours later we passed a similar fortress, Friedrichsborg; it is not in such an open situation as the other, but is more surrounded by forests.

We passed at a considerable distance, and could not see much of it, nor of the castle lying on the opposite side, which seems to be very magnificent, and is also surrounded by woods.
The boundaries of the right shore now disappear, but then again appear as a terrible heap of naked rocks, at whose extreme edge is situated the fine fortress Dolero.

Near it groups of houses are built on the bare rocks projecting into the sea, and form an extensive town.
September 19th.
To-day we were on the open, somewhat stormy sea.

Towards noon we arrived at the Calmar Sound, formed by the flat, uniform shores of the long island Oland on the left, and on the right by Schmoland.
