Ben Turner et al. in Reval (now Tallinn), Estonia - May, 1920
from About Myself, 1863–1930, page 213:
Ultimately we arrived at Reval, and as the boat drew near to the quayside, the delegation of the Socialist Party of Reval, who had been sent to meet us, burst out into song and chorus, and despite our lack of language, made us free and welcome, and piloted us to the residence of one of the princes of Reval—a fine mansion that had been made into a kind of club for the Parliamentary Socialist Ministry of Esthonia.
