EXTRACT FROM ADMIRAL GREIG'S REPORT, OF THE
27TH OF JULY (AUGUST 8), TO THE COMMANDER.
IN-CHIEF OF THE SECOND ARMY, RESPECTING THE
TAKING OF THE TOWN OF VASSILIKO*, ON THE
21ST OF THE SAME MONTH (AUGUST 2).
The Posspeshnoy frigate having taken on board
four companies of the Kamtschatka regiment of in-
fantry, set sail on the night of the 20th (August 1),
in company with the Orpheus brig, for Vassiliko.
In the case of meeting the Meteor steamer, on
board of which was Lieutenant-Colonel Burno, of
the Engineers, who had been sent out to make a
more correct survey of the whole of the enemy's
coast from the canal-of Constantinople, Lieutenant-
Captain Koltovskoi, the commander of the frigate,
was, among other instructions, directed to request
that officer to co-operate in the reduction of Vas-
siliko. The frigate fell in with the steamer on this
side of Vassiliko, and Lieut.-Colonel Burno, on re-
ceiving my instructions, immediately took the com-
mand of the party for land operations, which con-
sisted of 115 men of the Kamtschatka regiment, and
85 sailors belonging to the guard and sailing crews of
the frigate and the steamer, who were draughted to
reinforce the land troops. On arriving before Vas-
siliko, Lieut.-Colonel Burno observed a band of 150
men pushing on rapidly to that place from Agatho-
polis. To prevent the junction of that party with
the garrison of Vassiliko, he hastened the debarka-
tion, which, under the protection of the steamer,
lying-to in an advantageous position, was success-
fully effected.
" As SOON as our troops were fairly landed, they
rushed f)rward against the enemy to turn him, and
Intercept his retreat. The Turks, however, per-
ceived this movement, and quickly trade off. The
Lieutenant-Colonel availed himself of this circum-
stance, and instantly occupied the heights which
command the town, while the steamer and the boats
employed in the debarkation, with their artillery,
scoured the coast in front of the position taken up
by our troops, arid thereby enabled them to obtain
possession of the town itself, which was defended
by a garrison of 300 men. Notwithstanding that
this garrison was so superior to the detachment, the
troops, animated by the most unexampled courage
and zeal, and directed by the judicious dispositions
of Lieutenant Colonel Burno, accomplished the ob-
ject of the expedition on which they were sent,with•
out the slightest loss on our part."
EXTRACT FROM ADMIRAL GREIG'S SECOND REPORT
OF THE SAME DATE.
" Your Excellency will have been pleased to ob-
serve in my report of the 23d (August 4), the dis-
positions I had made for the reduction of the forti-
fied town of Agathopolis. I- In consequence of the
arrival of the Meteor steamer yesterday evening, I
have received reports from Lieutenant-Colonel
Burno, of the Engineers, and Lieutenant Captain
laskakov, commander of the Flora frigate, from
which I learn that this enterprise was successfully
accomplished in the following manner:—
" On the 23d (Aug. 4), the Flora cast anchor
off Vassiliko, and on the same day landed the bat-
talion of the Kursk Regiment of Infantry. It was
immediately determined by the Commanders of the
frigates and Lieutenant-Colonel Burno, to attack
Agathopolis on the following day. Accordingly, at
nine in the morning the Flora and Posspeshnoy
frigates got under weigh, and, notwithstanding a
strong north-east wind, attacked the town on the
sea-side, still keeping under sail. On the approach
of our ships, the Turks opened a heavy cannonnade
from their shore batteries, which in spite of the
well-directed and effectual fire of our artillery, they
kept up until they became suddenly aware of the
position of our troops, who bad in the mean time
taken possession of the heights that command the
town. Immediately 800 cavalry made a rapid
sally from the town towards Lieutenant-Colonel
Burno's position. However, on the advance of the
Lieutenant-Colonel with his detachment, the
Turks wheeled round, and fled. After the
enemy had thus been dispersed, Lieutenant-
Colonel Burno having observed that the fire
against our ships from the Turkish batteries was
* To the south of Sizebolis.
Or Agtepoli, to the south of Vassiliko.
discontinued, he ordered the sailors of the Posspcsh-
noy placed under his command to march against the
principal battery. This enterprise, notwithstanding
the extraordinary difficulties which the rocks they
had to climb over presented, was executed. When
the enemy perceived this advance, he fled in the
greatest disorder out of the town. Lieut.-Colonel
Burno now detached Lieut.-Captain Baron Dirkins.
with two companies of the Kamtschatka Regiment,
under the command of Major Kamrer, to take pos-
session of the Convent of St. John the Baptist, si-
tuated OR the other side of the bay, which was sur-
rounded by a hedge and defended by some cannon.
Here the Turks also abandoned their camp which
surrounded the convent, and fled in the greatest ter-
ror. As we had no cavalry, the enemy could not be
pursued, and therefore only five prisoners were taken,
among whom was the commander of the Delis.
" After the taking of Agathopolis, Lieutenant-
Colonel Burno was enabled to perceive the great
importance of the result of that success; for the
Turks had in the town a garrison of nearly 1,200
men, and might have the more readily withstood a
numerous enemy, as they expected in the course of
that night a reinforcement of 2,000 men from Piady,
and as our ships, in consequence of the high wind,
could not come to an anchor in the road so as to
co-operate vigorously against them.
" We found in the town seven pieces of cannon,
five of which were of brass, a great quantity of
powder, cartridges, various other kinds of warlike
stores, and about 50,000 oaks of flour. The detach-
ment under the command of Lieut.-Col. Burno con-
sisted of a battalion of Kurskis, two companies of the
Kamtschatka infantry, 28 sailors belonging to thePoss-
peihnoy, and 16 of the guard crew, forming altoge-
ther about 800 men. The detachment had with it
two pieces of light cannon, fitted for a landing, and
which were under the charge of volunteers from the
guard crew. Not one of our land troops was killed
or wounded. Some of the rigging of the frigates
was damaged by the cannonade from the enemy's
batteries, and a sailor on board of the Flora was
wounded. The Posspeshnoy had two shots in her
stern, one of them between wind and water.
" In conclusion the commander of the detach-
ment reports, that on the 25th (August 6) he sent
two companies of the Kamschatka regiment to Vas-
siliko, where a redoubt, mounting three guns, has
been constructed, to protect that town against any
unforeseen attack, and that he will forthwith provide
Agathopolis with sufficient fortifications. Thuogh
according to the statements of the Greeks and our
prisoners, the number of the Turks on the different
points around Agathopolis is about 6,000 men,
cavalry and infantry, yet that town is, in conse-
quence of the dread with which our daring enter-
prize has impressed the enemy, perfectly secure."

cocoa, was struck with a tremendous sea on the
25th ult. in lat. 48. 25. N. long. 19 W., whilst lay-
ing to in a gale of wind, which carried away the cut-
water, washed both boats, bulwarks, stanchions,
wheel, round-house, and one man overboard, and
also started the stem from the bows, by which she
became very leaky; however, the crew by great
exertions at the pumps, and throwing part of the
cargo overboard, succeeded in keeping her above
water till the 28th, when having eleven feet water
in her hold, she became unmanageable, and expect-
ing every minute the vessel to go down, they began
to make a raft with what spars and boards they
could find, to endeavour to prolong their lives a
little, when fortunately the Lyra hove in sight, and
Capt. May perceiving a signal of distress flying,
very kindly bore down to their assistance, when
they all got on board the Lyra, and abandoned her,
and in about two hours afterwards the Recovery
went down.
