Rupert Gunnis, ADC to Governor Sir Ronald Storrs, inspected his finds in Ayia Irene and attended a concert:

Down to see the terra-cotta statues from Ayia Irene now that they have been cleaned. The big one, about 6ft is very fine but has a most evil face, almost diabolical, one feels babies were sacrificed to it! To a Turkish school concert which lasted four hours and nearly unhinged my mind as I couldn’t understand a word.
