We left a dozen passengers in Constantinople, and sailed through the beautiful Bosporus and far up into the Black Sea.

We left them in the clutches of the celebrated Turkish guide, "FAR-AWAY MOSES," who will seduce them into buying a ship-load of ottar of roses, splendid Turkish vestments, and ail manner of curious things they can never have any use for.

Murray's invaluable guide-books have mentioned 'Far-away Moses' name, and he is a made man.

He rejoices daily in the fact that he is a recognized celebrity.

However, we can not alter our established customs to please the whims of guides; we can not show partialities this late in the day.
