about the city, and see the sights with a guide. We
can see the Asiatic shores of Turkey now and it is
growing cold as we go north. 1y fingers are almost too
stiff to hold the pen writing on deck. We stay at
C'onstantinople (sleeping and eating on the boat) to-
morrow and Sunday morning we run up the Bosphorius as
fr s the Black Sea arid back again.

berths on that boat this morning.
Shall mail this at Constantinople.
Yours over,
