Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of Personal Experiences and Impressions During a Residence on the Bosphorus Throughout the Crimean WarAccordingly we embarked the following day, our party consisting of my husband and self, our two young Swedish friends, and a maid-servant, who promised to fulfil, and seemed capable of performing any duty that might be reasonably required of her.Amongst our compagnons de voyage were some eighteen or twenty Arabs, and as they kept to the distant part of the ship, we were not a little amused by watching them - nearer acquaintance might not have been so agreeable. The very perceptible chief of the party was a man of immense stature, three or four of the number were attendants, and the rest were women.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
