Turkish governor arrives as Tobruk holds Derna
The Hungarian steamer Tisza docked in Naples with Arim Bey, the Turkish governor of Tripoli, his wife and son, and several aides sent to organize Tripoli’s defense. An Italian ship halted the vessel and ordered a route change. Arim Bey, upon docking, refused to believe the province entrusted to Turkey was lost and learned of developments after sailing. Turkish passengers were not detained due to the Tisza’s status as a foreign vessel.
