1893 Piccadilly, London, England

Date:  around the end of November 1893
Event:  Lord Tennington invited William Cecil and the Porter's to cruise around Africa in his yacht.
Source:  She found one excuse after another, and when, finally, Lord Tennington invited the party to cruise around Africa in his yacht, she expressed the greatest delight in the idea, but absolutely refused to be married until they returned to London. As the cruise was to consume a year at least, for they were to stop for definite periods at various points of interest, Clayton mentally anathematized Tennington for ever suggesting such a ridiculous trip. It was Lord Tennington's plan to cruise through the Mediterranean, and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, and thus down the East Coast, putting in at every port that was worth the seeing."
