Abstract

After the end of the fall term, Mittag-Leffler took a brief trip to Sweden at Christmastime. There are no written reports from this trip, only the fact that by January 8, 1878, he was already back in Helsingfors – by all accounts early enough to ensure that the condition of the ice wouldn’t prevent him from returning. Presumably he traveled by train from Helsingfors to Hangö, and by the steamship Express between Hangö and Stockholm. That winter, for the first time, an attempt was made to have regular boat traffic to and from Stockholm. The steamship Express had been designed by Robert Runeberg and built to break through ice that was 12 cm thick; with 400 horsepower engines and with room for scores of passengers on board, the crossing was estimated to take 17 hours.
