Abstract
August’s enforced stay in Sweden was to last ten months. It was a difficult period, and a few times he came close to despair as he visualized his life without Marie after the war. But mostly he adapted to the circumstances with his usual vigor. He helped and comforted his two daughters, wrote his famous paper on active transport by cell membranes (the Croonian Lecture), finished a paper for Marie and a study on bud development in trees, lectured in Stockholm and Lund, and attended the celebrations in Stockholm when Hevesy was awarded the Nobel Prize.
I am mainly occupied in writing a paper on the exchange of ions between living cells and their surroundings.

Hjalmar Rued Holand’s first book on the Kensington Stone was written in 1907. At the time all authorities in Sweden and Norway had dismissed the find as a hoax. The farmer, Ohlman, who had found the stone gave it to Holand. Holand subsequently wrote Westward from Vinland; an account of Norse discoveries and explorations.
