My time during the rest of the year was taken up with political, statistical, and historical inquiries, the results of which will be found condensed at the termination of the narrative part of this work. Return to Servia. The Danube. Semlin. Wucics and Petronievitch. Cathedral Solemnity. Subscription Ball. After an absence of six months in England, I returned to the Danube.
Of course, you've never been to Semlin or Zimony, as they call it in the Magyar tongue. To understand aright, I must describe the place. In the extreme south of Hungary, where the river Save joins the Danube, the town of Semlin guards the frontier.
Details in the body of the document set forth that Henry Semlin was born at Brooklyn on 31st March, 1886, that his hair was Black, nose Aquiline, chin Firm, and that of special marks he had None. The description was good enough to show me that it was undoubtedly the body of Henry Semlin that lay at my feet. The passport had been issued at Washington three months earlier.
This, however, was denied by the Vienna ministry of war, which claimed that the Servian situation was entirely satisfactory to Austria. On October 5 Servian troops were reported to have begun a northeast advance from Semlin, to effect a junction with two Russian columns advancing southward in Hungary.
The British messengers post out from London to Semlin, where they leave their carriages, ride across to Alexinatz on the Bulgarian frontier, whence the despatches are carried by a Tartar to Constantinople, via Philippopoli and Adrianople.

The Halewright Mfg. Coy., Ltd. There were also half a dozen private cards: Dr. Semlin, 333 E. 73rd St., New York. Rivington Park House.
"Semlin," echoed the other, " ah yes! the Embassy in Washington wrote about you but Grundt was to have come...." "Listen," I said, "Grundt could not come. We had to separate and he sent me on ahead...." "But ... but ..." the man was stammering now in his anxiety "... you succeeded?" I nodded. He heaved a sigh of relief. "It will be awkward, very awkward, this change in the arrangements," he said.
It is but thirty kilometres from Indjia to Semlin, on the riverbank opposite Belgrade, and since leaving the Fruskagora Mountains the country has been a level plain, and the roads fairly smooth.
I have sufficient cavalry and guns assembled near the station, and I hope to be in Semlin in twenty minutes. Good morning, Baron." "Your Majesty, I implore you to forego this rash enterprise." "It is you or I for it!" "Let me telegraph." "Useless. That spells delay. You or I must go to Semlin now! Which is it to be?"
