Crime Almost Unknown.
The inhabitants of Greenland an
profess Christianity. and they live
quiet, uneventful lives, crime being al
most unknown in the country. There
is no police force of any kind and
no apparent means OF enforcing the
law, which is administered by the
''bestyrer" in each colony under the
resident inspector of North or South
Greenland and the governor of the
colony, who is usually resident in Co.
penhagen.
The country is liable TO sudden. yio-
lent storms, especially those which
come up from the southeast and which
are quite local in their incidence: the
neighborhood of the copper mines
seems to be particularly favored by
the visits OF these violent storms. Al
