	The subject of the article is a small excerpt from the “Dziennik” by Mikołaj Wisłocki, covering the journey from Naples and arrival in Alexandria in November 1844. The author describes in an interesting manner the sea journey and his fellow passengers, as well as the greatest attractions of the La Valleta during the stopover on Malta. The next lap was Alexandria, however his coverage ends here. The paper discusses also the travel documents applicable in the Ottoman Empire of that time, which constitute an important addition. The excerpt has been given for printing by Maciej Podgórski (1938–2009), the author’s great grandson. The text has been edited by Joachim Śliwa.
