'NE LAND OF Unarm.- A few weeks ago Mr. Walter
Cox, son of Mr. Edgar Coy, of Weymouth, started for a
tour to the Fast for the beneflit of his health, and has
written home an account of sonic of the incidents he has
met with. Subjoined are extracts (rein the letter :-
"8.8. Austin Friar, May 7th, PCT.
"I arrived in Simonet on Saturday from Constantinople
and should hare written to you from there, but had very
little time : I wee only on shore about two hours with the
captain. Constantinople is a very dirty place, and famous
for dirty dogs. I saw Hobart Pasha as I was going ashore:
he had just escaped from Suiinn. When we arrived at
°reins:off we had to lay at anchor until a tug boat came
out to tow us through the torpedoes. During that time
we had to go below, and were ordered not to look out of
the portholes under penalty of being detained as prisoners
until the war was over. To make things worms, when we
arrived at Nicoluf the Custom House officers came on
hoard. When they saw that there was • passenger on
board they wished to see me. They asked me if! had a
Mar Port, and in reply to ' No" they gave orders that I was
not to go ashore. After dinner an order came that I was
to go up to the Custom House. I made myself ready,
and found another passenger belonginc to the S.S. Arthur
in the same fix. We were then marched off in charge of
the eoldierg with their swords drawn, and on our arrival
at the Custom House we had to appear before the head
official, who asked us a few questions. ' Who are roof'
-• We are English, sir!' F.nglishmen I '-" Yea. "What
did you come to Russia for"-' We came for our health,
Air." For your health t'-'Yes.'-' Have you pass-
ports?' - ' No. "Do you know you have broken
the laws of the country!' -No, sir' we are
sorry if we have done so. He then gave orders to the
soldiers in charge to take us to prison, and if it had not
been for a Russian merchant who spoke English well we
should have been imprisoned until the ship sailed. We
were then ordered down to our ships in charge of soldiers,
and told that we must not go on shore ; if we did so we
should be imprisoned until the war was over. So we are
kept on baud with a soldier to guard ua This is the law
of the country ; had we known this we should have

shenld to fall in up to your neck in mud. I can
yes L the mud is two or three feet deep. That ira could see on my way to the Custom House. You
mime plenty of men and women lying about drunk in a
disgusting war. I thought Constantinople was bad
enough, but its, nothing to he compared to Nicolaef. The
howls are only hum-anything you like to call them. The
Russia= have no room to complain about the Turks.
From what I have seen I should think the Turks are a
