28 February 1879 — Trieste | |
Friday. 28th February [1879]. The weather continued to improve & I got up for breakfast & wrote letters. The views became very pretty as we neared Trieste & the weather being showery the lights & shades were lovely. We reached Trieste abt 3 & for some minutes were were kept in suspense lest we were to be kept in quarantine or at least in 24 hours observation. The sanitary authorities came up the side & talked a long time on the other side of the gangway—examined every ones passport to see they had not come from infected ports & then all the passengers were ordered up on the upper deck & 2 doctors walked round & looked at them & then we were pronounced free to our great delight. Mr Brock the V. Consul took us off in a boat to the Hotel de Ville where rooms were ready for us. We dined at 5 & Mr Brock & Baron Morpurgo sat with us. We went early to bed. | |
