But he had to take loan of Rs. 1000.00 from Dr. Atmaram Pandurang as the money from Jorasanko did not reach in time.the story of his journey described in Europe- Jatri Kono Bangiya Yubaker Patra was published in Bharati from Baishakh 1286 to Shraban 1287.

Narrating about the passengers he avoided to describe as he was not conversant with the ladies
Five days were taken to reach Suez from Eden.As they were overland passengers they had to get down at Suez.
Three Bengalees and one European took a boat on hire to gather some experience. Then they hired asses to ride but they were not obedient and they stopped their journey.They came to Alexandria where a steamer , known as Mangolia was waiting. Alexandria was a big city and they took journey to see it. They left Alexandria on 8th Oct , after 4/5 days and they reached in Brindishe city of Italy where they took horses, half dead , and half broken car to see the town and left Bridishe city in the afternoon by train. It was a nice journey.
It took half-an-hour to cross the famous tunnel, Mont Cenis, in Alphs mountain. They moved to France from Italy observing a nice scenery
