ON THE ROAD
TO ISTANBUL
(Rev, George Benson Cox) •
The? stretch of water between
Europe and Asia Minor includes
the Straits of the Dardanelles, the
sea of Marmora, and the Strkits
of the Bosphorus. This waterway
extends for, more than two hun
dred, miles,.and the motor vessel
- —Oslofj.ord—sai led-1hrough~it~f or;
njne hours. Durifig 5,000 years it
has - been, a crossroads of the
world;, and. it has been spoken of
as “the treasure-house of history”,
Xerxes, the. Ahasuerus of the
Book of Esther, mustered 5 mil
lion men during five years, and
lined them up on the Asiatic
bank of the Dardanelles. A bridge
of boats in double line was con
structed. On the boats a platform
of planks was laid, and earth
placed on it from shore to shore,
A screen on each side obstructed
the view, lest the horses and
other beasts of burden, seeing
the water^ should take fright. A
storm arose and the bridge; was
broken up. The king, in his fury,
lashed the waters, and commend
ed that fetters 6e cast in, to sym-.
bolize his mastery over the sea.
A second bridge was constructed,
and the Persian army passed over
without (incident, and marched
forward to the attack on Greece.
This was in 480 B.C<
At the same point, in 334 B.C.,
Alexander the Great of Mace
donia crossed* over the mile
stretch of water on a similar
bridge pn bis expedition to con
quer ’Persia and the world.
In the eleventh century of our
era Harold Hardrada, the fierce
A^king-raideiY-fFpm^NeFwayp-was-;
passing through'the straits on his
way to the' Black Sea. At Con
stantinople, which is Istanbul, he
encountered a barrier in the form
of an iron chain stretched across
the Channel from Europe to Asia.
He was, however-, undaunted; he
waited until the tide rose high; he
ran his Viking ship onto the
chain; he shifted his sailors to
the bow of the boat, and tilted
her over; the warriors of Con-
staniriople looked On in, dismay,
The Vikings passed on to the.
Black Sea, and overland to the
White Sea, and so home. A mural
scene in exquisite inlaid wood on
the “Oslofjord” records the feat.
It was "B730~d’clbck of~a” Win
ter’s morning when, from the
loud speakers- of the ship, came
the announcement^ “We .are ,now
entering the , Dardanelles. That
spit of land which you see .on the
port side is the Peninsula of Gal
lipoli. Here the, Anzacs . in the
4First World War opposed a Turk
ish army led by skilled German
officers. There’ were 275;000 cas
ualties, and the enemy suffered
an equal loss. That majestic mon
ument which you observe on the
left’ was erected to commemorate
the Australians and the New
Zealanders who fell in this ill-
fated campaign’’.' . , . ’
A pause is made at,Chanak, a
town on the Asiatic side, for
clearance- papers. , Within five
miles is the site of ancient Troy.
Our ship is now cruising in Turk
ish waters. On, both the Asiatic-
and the European shores are to
be seen castles and fortresses,
some of them erected in the dis-
. tanCpast,^ others by_.Moh.amed..the_
Conqueror in 1470,. still others in
very recent times. It, is late fore-

organized as a republic^ Many of
the titles attached to proper-

costume was decreed to be the
correct dress. The red fez, in use
for only a hundred f. years, ‘ was
prohibited, The Arabic script was
replaced by Latin characters. Re
