If I have calculated correctly, the Orient Express arrived in Constantinople (now Istanbul) on the morning of Tuesday, October 30. How many days Swamiji and his party remained here is not certain. According to the Memoirs, their stay seems to have lasted only two or three days; but according to Miss MacLeod, they stopped over for nine days-and this, I would think, is the more probable length of time.
