Travels in Southeastern Europe

The burden of the Balkans / by M. Edith Durham.

62 THE BURDEN OF THE BALKANS. Turks; a four months' siege ensued, Skodra fell, and Bushatli was only saved from the fate of Ali Pasha by the intervention of Austria, who was already beginning to spread nets for the final capture of Albania. Inter-tribal quarrels prevented the North from coming to his assistance en masse, he was taken prisoner, and Turkish governors have since ruled nominally in Skodra. It is true that they may have been shot, besieged, hunted away, and have had no power at all over the surrounding mountain tribes; but in spite of the hatred which Albania bears any interference with her liberty, there is still a Turkish Vali at Skodra. Events so fell out that the Albanians thought fit to play again on the Turkish side.
