" We were detained in the roads two DAYS
by adverse winds The first day, in the morn

the news of the defeat of the 'furks-It is
conicctured that as 10 Turkish vessel had
entered the Dardanelles for the last fifteen
days, the Turkish feet must have been entire

infatuated subjects, courageous only agniEst

unfortunate Christians.
