Tues 28. [28 January 1902] Breakfasted at 8.30 and hurried off with Tabona and the luggage to catch our boat, the Enna, Florio Rubattino. It however did not start till 12, so we burst in on Margaret again and went off to see the Governor's Palace. Nice galleries with armour - the real armoury was being repaired. Throne room with the King's throne and the sword laid across it ready. Went into the Council Chamber which is hung with Gobelins given by Louis XIV to the Grand Master Perillos. There are 11 elected and 9 appointed deputies and the governor has 2 votes. The {appointed} elected deputies now make a point of talking Italian! Saw La Vallette's armour. Walked onto the Barracca and wrote our names on the Fishers. The goats are brought into the town every evening and the goat herds cry Halib! and bring the goats up to your doorstep if you want any and milk them there. Col. Forster and his nephew Mr Riddell are on our boat. An old Austrian indroduced me to the Italian consul from Tripoli [Trablous] who turned out to be Scaniglia, much entertained to meet him again. He introduced us to the Duca Carafa d'Andrea of Naples [Napoli] a pleasant little man who had been shooting in Tripoli and knows Abyssinia or rather Eretrea. We got in about 9 and Scaniglia was most useful and got us through the custom house without any examination. Hotel des Etrangers, Casa Politi. Chocolate and biscuits and so to bed. Wonderful moon rise over the Great Harbour onto which my room looks.
