1864-65.] SECOND VISIT HOME. 343 



autumn, and Livingstone was to give a lecture on Africa. 

 It was a dreadful thought. " Worked at my Bath speech. 

 A cold shiver comes over me when I think of it. Ugh !" 

 Then he went with his daughter Agnes to see a beautiful 

 sight, the launching of a Turkish frigate from Mr. Napier's 

 yard — " 8000 tons weight plunged into the Clyde, and 

 sent a wave of its dirty water over to the other side." 

 The Turkish Ambassador, Musurus Pasha, was one of the 

 party at Shandon, and he and Livingstone travelled in the

 Bath on the 15th, and become the guests of Dr. and Miss 

 Watson, of both of whom he writes in the highest terms. 



" On Sunday, heard a good sermon from Mr. Fleming. 

 Bishop Colenso called on me. He was very much cheered 

 by many people ; it is evident that they admire his pluck, 

 and consider him a persecuted man. Went to the 

 theatre on Monday, 19 th, to deliver my address. When
