THROUGH TO THE SEA: A PROGRESS IN POST-CARTS, WITH INTERLUDES OF RIVER-FERRIES The river Ounasjoki is navigable the larger part of the way from Kittila down to its outfall in the Gulf of Bothnia; but prices run high for the hire of canoes, as they have to be poled back tediously up against the current, not to mention suffering damage from the several spots where bad rapids compel lengthy portages.
Transport down to the coast is done by wheeled vehicle, and for this purpose a road has been built.
The local vehicle for human transport is the _karre_, which spells post-cart in Qfinsk.
It is a word which covers a multitude of shapes.
The best _karre_ is like the Norwegian _stolkjarre_, and has two bodies set one behind the other on one pair of shafts, with remarkably little room for the legs in either.
