sailors with drawn cuasses stationed here and there,
and with difficulty holding their refractory
merchantmen. In every direction wherever the eye
turned up down the streets men could be seen hur

Most Of these men caps instead of hats, their
clothing was of sober snufy hues to match their faces
which were sombre and dirty and salow. Their looks
were detected and miserable and as an Englishman
or Frcnchman came near they made haste to rise
and salute his mightiness with uncovered head and
