I very naturally took out the map to learn where Procupli was; on which the Bin Bashi asked me if I was a military engineer!

This was Captain W , a queen's messenger of the new school. While we were drinking a cup of coffee, a Turkish Bin Bashi came upon his way to Belgrade from the army of Roumelia at Kalkendel; he told us that the Pasha of Nish had gone with all his force to Procupli to disarm the Arnaouts.
