There had been a decentish level road made from Andrievitza half way to
Berane, and women were working hard on the extension in the hopes of
getting it finished for the Serbs; but that they could never do, for
there were but few of them. Further on many of the bridges were
unfinished, and in one or two places a landslide had carried away the
road itself, leaving a deep clinging mud in its place, but we were
getting used to mud.

The professor was threatening to accompany us to Italy--he was like the
old man of the sea. We got a telegram from the English Minister, saying

especially in the matter of weather. In the evening the captain sent to
say that twenty horses would await us the next day.
