In spite of all interference, however, a ship carrying twenty-five cannon and fifty colonists was ready to lift anchor on July 28, 1640. The date of sailing is uncertain and the circumstances of the voyage across the ocean are unknown, but the ship reached Christina on November 2. She left the colony a month later with a cargo of skins, the property of the New Sweden company. The skins were sold in Amsterdam for 5,360 florins.[10] VI. Meanwhile activities had been in progress for a new voyage from Sweden, and a cargo (again bought in Holland) had been stored at Gothenburg. Fleming once more planned to fit out a large expedition, and the government hoped that “New Sweden would in time redound to the benefit and honor of the Swedish Crown and to the prosperity and improvement of its citizens.” Governor Hindrickson, who had aided former expeditions, was instructed through letter to “collect people with wives and children, cattle and horses, and all other goods, and prevail upon them to go to” the colony. A great many Finns had for half a century or more migrated to northern Sweden, where they lived a vagrant, unsettled life by hunting, fishing and destroying the forests. As their numbers increased complaints against them became frequent, and their removal from the country was often demanded. Since voluntary emigrants failed to appear it was decided that some of these vagrant Finns, who could not be entrusted with uncultivated farms, should be compelled to settle at Fort Christina. But even these efforts proved insufficient and it became necessary to order Måns Kling, who knew “what a splendid and productive country New Sweden was”, on two different occasions “to collect and hire a multitude of roving people, that nowhere have a steady residence and dwelling.” Johan Printz, later governor of the colony, was likewise asked to look for skilled workmen and young people, willing to go to America, and at least one colonist, the bookkeeper Karl Jansson, came through him. The colonists of northern and central Sweden assembled at Stockholm, where the ship _Charitas_ was being prepared for the voyage. The _Charitas_ left the capital on May 3, 1641, en route for Gothenburg with thirty-five souls on board, and she cast anchor near Elfsborg about the beginning of June. Here the trusty _Kalmar Nyckel_, the second ship of the _fourth expedition_, was being put in a seafaring condition.
