Isaac Sharp and Asbjorn Kloster in the Faroe Islands (April June 1862)

Journal of Isaac Sharp - May 19, 1862

Kunoy

Taking leave of our kind friends, we left Klaksvig(Klaksvik)about nine. Soon after starting, the wind began to blow, and it was very wild and stormy before we reached Kunoe(Kunoy), the place of our destination. Sixteen men of this little hamlet are out fishing, but expected to return this afternoon. Atanhumble dwelling of one of the inhabitants we were kindly cared for. After a time, the first boat landed in safety; but, as hour after hour passed by, no small anxiety was felt for the other, as the storm had been heavy in the night. It was touchingly interesting to see the poor women come to the edge of the cliff to catch the first glimpse of the homeward bound. Our hostess, a widow, told us, with tears, of the loss of one of her sons.
