They lived at the Phønix Hotel for a while.Then he took up residence in Blokhus, from where he traveled around the country and“gave to the count” (possible typo, may mean “gave to the countess”), and used the moneyhe brought with him plus about twelve thousand crowns he inherited from his father.His sister KAREN (Mrs. Smith) had to give him money to get back to the US on.The merchant Niels Bondrup Klitgaard in Ulsted can remember that inHolstebro he rented an extra train, locomotive and car – the train connection to Aalborgdid not suit him.
