Jokkmokk [2], 26/07/1732, ¶876:
We arrived at Purkijaur at sunset and since there was no boat we were forced to make a raft. There was a mist and the night became so murky that we could not see 20 feet in front of us. We finally got out into the current and it very nearly separated us from the log-raft but, once that danger was past, we sailed along for 3 miles and reached the farm that lay on an island.
