Sir Charles Giesecke,an eminent British
antiquarian, says that numerous ruins ex-
ist In southern Greenland which are evil
IDENTIFY relics of Norsemen who dwelt there
centuries before Columbus discovered this
country. The locality Is near the presen7
Esquimaux station of Igallko. The ruins
consist of remains of walls of II stone
dwellings, one of them marked in such q
manner that it Is reasonably certain that
1t was the house OF Erik Rauthi,a banished
Iceiandlc jarl, who was the first to land In
Greenland. He established his settlement
at Brattleld, as 1t was then named, and
Igaliko is believed to be the spot where
that colony was located. 1t was on an
isthmus between two fiords, and so is In
Igaliko. The fiords are believed to be the
Erilk'e and Einer's fiords of the old sagas !.
