But beyond the Bosphorus the frontier included the whole body of Anatolia as far as Taurus and Euphrates, and here was the centre of gravity both of the Romaic state and of the Romaic nation. A new Greek nation had in fact come into being, and it found itself in touch with new neighbours, whom the Ancient Greek had never known.
Have you often seen Carr act before?" "Never," I said. "I never met him till I came on board the Bosphorus at " "Indeed! Oh! I fancied you were quite old friends." "We made great friends on the steamer." "Did you see much of him in London?" he asked, filling up his glass and mine. "Not much, naturally," I said, laughing. "I was in London only two nights." "Ah!

On the south- eastern flank of Chisalla is a dwarf precipice called Mbondo la Zumba and, according to the interpreters, it is the Lovers' Leap of Tuckey. But its office must not be confounded with that attributed to the sinister-looking scaur of Leucadia; here the erring wives of the Kings of Boma and their paramours found a Bosphorus.
The Czar would not think of acting against the established law, even though in theory he might." "The Turks must have laws, too," objected Madame Patoff. "I don't know," said Chrysophrasia.

This huge armada proceeded on a smooth sea, and with a gentle gale, towards the mouth of the Bosphorus; the surface of the strait was overshadowed, in the language of the Greeks, with a moving forest, and the same fatal night had been fixed by the Saracen chief for a general assault by sea and land.
In those days the boundaries of Greece stretched far further than they do now, and it was upon the shores of the Bosphorus that Constantine built his new capital. There was already an ancient town there named Byzantium, but he transformed it into a new and splendid city.
It will probably be found that this road-scheme belongs to the company under German auspices who are now constructing a railway which is ultimately to connect Baghdad with the Bosphorus, and part of which is already working.
Instructions were given to send on supplies; the captain of the Boadicea was among those who received orders to proceed off Sevastopol without delay. Wilkins was in great distress at having to part from the man whom he regarded as his friend and faithful adviser. Tugs were sent to tow the vessels through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea.
