When the moodir saw her in her little room, with her babe and the corpse of her husband, he was much moved, and did what he could for her comfort.

He sent a telegram to the governor of Philippopolis, designed for Mr.Clarke, but Mr.Clarke received no notice, and consequently no friend came to meet her.

She conveyed the body in her own carriage; and spent the whole of the next night, with her babe, watching the talacca in the open air, vainly listening for the coming of the messenger whom she had so much reason to expect.

On the next and last day, she prevailed on a Bulgarian boy to hasten on with a message, which brought Mr.Clarke to her relief, but only just before she entered the city.

An immediate burial was necessary.
