where the great colossus was Il was a
dark, dreary, windy night and the
Turks fought hard for the ships lad
der; for we had on board a. wise old
priest from Paris. with a string of six
or eight young priests, who were to I'M
load at Rhodes. Despite the cold, raw
wind and rain, men came aboard with
canes, beads and slippers made of ma
tive wood-for there is a prison here
and offered them for sale at very low
prices.
For the next forty-eight hours our
little old ship was walloped about in a
boisterous sea, and when we stopped
again il was at Mesina. where a little
railroad runs up to Tarsus. AS we ar
