View of Godthaab with statue of Hans Egede, first missionary to
the Eskimos of Greenland.
Norse church at head of Godthaab Fiord, probably built about 1100 A. D.
Upon our return to Godthaab we were received and delightfully entertained by Governor Simony and his wife. There we met many of the notables of the settlement, and we also visited the “university,” a sort of a glorified high school comprising a gymnasium and an academic building.
For several days a frightful hurricane delayed our departure for home, but at last came clear weather, and we pointed our nose to the southward. We were homeward bound!
In rough weather, off Nova Scotia, homeward bound.
