to complete the destruction of the docks and forts
of Sebasopol effect has yet been given to these

! The urgent importance of destroying the marine
works of SebastOpo would only arise if it were in
contemplation TO restore the town to the Russians

Russian affairs in the Crimea. a writer in that
journal says:

their lives at a high cost"
The same paper states that out o. the 10000 sea-
men who had undertaken, with their officers, the
defence of Sebastopol only fourth survive, and
some six or seven officers.
