4 August 1878 — Therapia | |
Sunday. 4th August [1878]. Started off directly after breakfast in the “Helicon” for Prinkipo, with the 2 Admirals, M. d’Ehrenhoff & 2 girls, Mr Gresley, Lord George, Mr Kennedy and Mr Cartwright, Mallet & the General. We got there abt 12 & went on board the “Agincourt.” Went over the ship with Capt. Wells and then had a splendid luncheon which lasted some time. At ¼ past 3 Mr Gresley took us on board the “Temeraire” to pay Capt. Culne Seymour a visit and he was very civil to us & got up steam and made a gun move in the tower. At 4.30 we returned to the “Helicon” & all except Adl Hornby started home. Had tea en route and arrived at 7. Mr Wallace the new Times Correspondent who has written a book on Russia dined with us. A pasty faced hollowed eyed little man but who seemed to be pleasant. Mr Chermside & the Embassy dined also. | |
