EASTWARD BOUND. 9
Islam Bai, tall, confident, calm, wearing a blue khalat
("long Turkestan coat"), and with King Oscar’s medal on
his breast. Our mutual pleasure upon meeting again found
expression in a hearty hand-shake, and we very soon found
plenty to talk about ; nor was it long before my Turkish,
which had rusted for two years, was flowing as fluently as
ever. Poor Islam Bai ! Little did I foresee in that glad
hour the unhappy destiny which was to overtake him
before we parted for good and all.
