6 October 1878 — Artaki, on board the Antelope | |
Sunday. 6th October [1878]. May & I went to service on board the Agincourt & stayed to the Communion. Lunched on board the Antelope. Afterwards we set off in the steam launch & landed to take a walk. We went thro’ lovely well cultivated country with good grapes, olives, medlars, walnuts &c &c. We took a long walk up to a place called Edincik where every house had some stone or pillar taken from an ancient building. There is a picturesque market place where there is an old Khan most wh rests upon splendid old columns turned up side down, the capitals resting on the ground. We went right thro’ the town to the other side where there is a view of the country & a large lake. A man begged us to go into his house where he showed us a funereal bas relief rather pretty but small & for wh he asked £10. Henry offered him £3 wh he refused. We sat for a few minutes near an enormous sycamore in the village & had coffee & I made a little sketch. We got tea on the sea shore & then went back & dined on the Antelope. | |
