Excerpt from A Summer Tour in Finland The fortress was originally erected In I 749, for the Swedish Crown, by the Field Marshal Count Augustin Ehrensvard, who is buried upon the principal island. It is said that sometimes when the storm clouds hang low, and the great waves dash with impotent fury upon those impregnable rocks, the figure of the Field Marshal is seen leaning over the ramparts and looking out towards the sea - the sea that beats with the same Wild strength as did once his tempestuous heart, now lying in a lonely grave within sound of the storm that unfurls an alien flag above his head -a flag planted there after his death by the foe of all mankind treachery. A son of Finland shamed the heart of the mother who bore him, and stealthily opened the door of his country to an enemy. That morning, close upon a hundred years ago, the spray of the waves that beat against those granite walls were the tears of all the mothers of Finland weepingfor the loss of that which they held dearer than the lives of their sons - the honour of their country.
