Steadily onward csme the five Ship, safe
into the harbor Of the Golden Horn. The
Turkish admiral VAS doomed by the furi
GUS sultan so he impale,i: but the sen
tence was committed to one hundred
blows with golden bar, which, We are
told, Mahomet himself administered with
a right good will.
Then came the turning point of the
siege. The sultan. feeling that his attack
by land must be seconded by sea, formed
bold plan. 1t was to convey part of
his feet overland from the Propontis, and
launch them in the upper end of the har-
Dor. The distance was six miles; but
by means Of rollers running on tram
why of creased Planks, eighty of the
Turkish vessels were carried over the
rugged ground in one night. A floating
battery was then made, from which the
Turkish cannon began to play with fear
full effect on the weakest side Of the
city.
When the attack had lasted for seven
weeks, broad gap was to be seen in the
central rampant. Many attempts at ne
gotiation had come to nothing, for Con-
stantine refused to give up the city, and
nothing else would satisfy the sultan.
At last day was fixed for the grand as
sault. At dsybreak the long lines of
Turks made their attack. When the
strength of the Christians was almost ex.
hausted in endless strife with the swarms
of irregular troops who led the way, the
terrible Janissaries advanced. The storm
grew louder, the rattle of the Turkish
drums mingling with thunder of the ord.
nance. Just then the brave Giustiniani,
defending the great breach, was wound
ed; and when, after this loss, the defense
grew Stacker, body Of Turks, following
the Janissary Hassan, clambered over the
ruined wall into the city. Amid the
rush, Constantine Palaologus, last of the
Caesars, fell dead, sabred by an unknown
hand; and with him fell the Eastern
Empire.
At noon on the same day Mahomet
summoned the Moslems to prayer in the
church of St. Sophia-thus establishing
the rites Of Islam where Christian wor-
ship had been held ever since the days of
Constantine the Great.-Willis's Events
