5 July 1879 — Therapia | |
Saturday. 5th [July 1879]. Had my Turkish lesson & Alice had her singing lesson. In the afternoon Lady Dickson & I went in the 3 oared caique to Kanlijeh to call on Pss Aziza and not finding her in went on to Mrs W. Hanson at Candilli. She being out we went on to Hobart Pasha’s & found them at home. Today P. Alexander of Battenberg came to Constantinople to visit the Sultan. The Embassies sent down their dragomen to complement him. Hobart P. told me had had to place boats of armed men all up the Bosphorus to prevent a supposed Bulgarian rising wh he thought absurd. The Sultan had offered the Prince the Izzetdeen royal yacht for HRH to continue his journey. In the eveng when Sir Alfred came in he told us that the prince made a good impression but that the Russian Ambr stuck so close to him no one cd say much to him. When he, however, delivered his message to the P. Labanoff moved off for one minute. The Prince went on abt 6 oclock in the Russian frigate to the Black Sea on his journey. Lady Dickson returned to the hotel. | |
