Close by Veda we came to the great Ångerman River, over three quarters of a mile wide and full of salt water, for this is an inlet of the sea and not the river proper. We took the ferry across. As we approached the other side, I saw a continuous line of white foam 2 feet wide runiung along the river and, when I asked for the cause of it, they answered that the only cause they knew of was that the main current of the river ran just there.
