14 March 1880 — Constantinople | |
Sunday. 14th March [1880]. A horrible morng. A hurricane from the N. & blinding snow storms wh kept us all at home in the morning reading & talking. After lunch it cleared a little and just about 5 it got quite fine & there was a lovely sunset. The wind fell & it was fine but freezing hard. In some places the snow was quite deep & so dry that the wind blew it about like dust. We looked in vain for the messenger. Mr Oliphant & Mrs Arthur Hanson made up the 14 at dinner at wh all the Embassy was present viz St John, Sandison, Nicolson, Stephen, Leveson Gower, Smijth, Bland, Capt. Swaine, A. Burr & Alice & ourselves– | |
