Porto Narenta

"Metkovic (Hôtel Austria, at the harbour, unpretending), a little town of 1700 inhab., on the left bank of the Narenta, has been since the Austrian occupation the chief depot of imports for the Herzegovina and seat of the district authorities. Splendid view from the terrace of the new church. The situation is unhealthy (fever) and travellers should avoid spending a night here. - Railway to Sarajevo or Gravosa [...]; the railway station (restaurant) is on the right bank of the Narenta (iron bridge), beside the steamboat-quay, opposite the town" (p. 303).
