Dahlias and other flowers in rich profusion, and myriads of singing birds filling the air with their joyous notes rejoiced as did we in the balmy atmosphere. A soft haze enveloped the sky, mountain and water, giving even to the rocky coasts of Albania, that " rugged nurse of savage men, " a softness and beauty of coloring that nothing but ac tual observation can do justice, or give credence to. It is all one lovely, dreamy vision. We returned to the esplan- ade in front of the Governor's, to se...e a review and hear some fine music from the band, our boat which left next day at one P. M. , passing by the little Isle of Vido and " Ulysses' sail, " which, overtaken by Neptune, was " here rooted down to everlasting rock. " We had the Albanian coast in sight till dark, and I counted nineteen Greek boats with their tall, slanting lanteen sails ranged along its rocky sides. Next morning we had the pleasure of a ramble in the town of Patras, which we had reached in the night, passing the islands of Zante and Cephalonia.
