Leif went ashore, found many vines (whether he means vines or wineberries we do not know), sailed along the coast for a few weeks, and then succeeded in reaching his own village in Greenland. Of course he told the people of this mysterious land, and his brother Thorstein became so curious that he sailed at once for the West and tried to find the land of which Leif had told him. Thorstein, however, found nothing. He came home discouraged and died. His widow, Gudrid, soon afterwards married an Ic...e- lander by the name of Thorfinn Karlsefni. Thorfinn decided to take up the quest of the new land, and in the year 1003 he went west with four vessels and 160 men and women. 38 r A few years later a large number of Norsemen settled down on this new land, which we now call Nova Scotia HE FOUND the land of which Leif had brought the first reports and built a small settlement.
