Excursion from Thingvalla to the Gtoys6r8.~Uiicoinplauimg Beiiig- nation. — The Grey ser. — The Strokr. "DETURNING to Thingvalla, we follow Hooker to •^^ the Geysers, in the year 1809, along a very dan- gerous route, much of the way lying between fright- ful chasms, and over fragments of rock, with deep holes among them, and so narrow at times the horses could barely p...ass single file. A more striking scene in travel cannot be imagined, than such a cavalcade winding along a pathway no horses but those native to the soil could thread, on the winding ridge, amid awful solitudes, and scenery whose strange grandeur is nowhere else to be found on the globe. Many have been killed among these savage hollows. In connection with these perils, our traveller sheds touching light upon the Icelander's religious charac- ter. When the priest Egclosen's only horse fell into one of them, mangling his legs, instead of complain- ing, he went cheerfully on his way.
