We are now exactly on the meridian of 30 degrees East longitude, so our friend Mildmay informs me; and by following this meridian southward we shall cross Asia Minor, hitting the coast some fifty miles to the eastward of the Black Sea entrance to the Bosporus, shave past the head of the Gulf of Ismid which is the easternmost extremity of the Sea of Marmora and leave the coast again about halfway between the island of Rhodes and Gulf of Adalia.

Come winter there is almost an instant shriveling to naked stalk, and the trellis-work behind vines comes through.
