Excerpt from Journal of a Tour in the Principalities, Crimea, and Countries Adjacent to the Black Sea in the Years 1835-36 July goth - We got out of the Channel yesterday, and are now, twelve o'clock, half way across the Bay of Biscay, having had a fine north-east wind since yesterday, and going at eight or nine knots an hour, straight for Cape Finisterre, which is considered to be rather more than two hundred miles from us. Today I learnt from Lord Durham that we are to visit King Otho, at Athens, but that we are not to stop anywhere else, as the season is so late, and he is anxious to arrive at Petersburg before the approach of winter.
