were classed as massacres, and exagger'

He cited ono instance in which "A mob oi
Armenians attacked and killed two in
offensive Turks. The Turkish gems d armes
thereupon attempted TO arrest the mur-
derers. The Armenlans resisted desper-
ately, and a serious affray was the result,
during which six Armenians were killed
and about dozen were wounded. Some
time later the story was retold by tht
Armenians, and when IL reached Con
stantinople the affair had grown into the
massacre of about 800 Armonians in cold
blood, with all the accompanying horrors
which tho Armenians usually decorate
their stories Of such affairs.

he added. were assured that the sultan
was in earnest in doing everything posi-
BILE to restore order in Asia Minor, and
they Were not likely TO do anything which
would in any way hamper his efforts in
this direction.
One of the great difficulties experienced
by the government, said the pasha, in re-
storing order in the tronbled districts, was
the trouble they were having IN calling
out the reserves. The governments CT
forts were al so hindered by the state OF
Turkish finances, and by the large sums
1t was necessary to borrow in order TO pro
vide for the arning and equipping of the
soldiers to be sent to the troubled dis
tricts.
In conclusion, Tewflx Pasha assured his
visitor that all the tales of alleged horrors
coming from Armenia and elsewhere
should be taken with "A considerable
amount of salt, as they are wholly manu-
facturcd by the Armenans, or else so
strongly colored by them as TO be no
longer recognizable even by their concoct-
ers.

raving across the deep. With steam and
sail that marvellous voyage continued;
and the bright-eyed crew looked over
the rail, desolate, unkempt, unshorn,
shamelessly clothed-beyond the de.

At the end of the third week she
sighted the island of Pygang-W -Watai.
whose harbor is the turning point of n
pearling sea patrol. Here the gunboats
stay for week ere they retrace their
line. There is no village at Pygang-
Watai; only a stream of water, some
palms and aharbor safe TO rest in till tho
first violence of the southeast monsoon
has blown itself out. They opened up
the low coral beach with it's long mound
OF wbitewashed coal ready for supply,
the de erted huts for the sailors and the
flagless flagstaff.
Next day there was no Haliotis-only
little prau rocking in the warm rain
at the mouth of the hnrbor, whose crew
watched with hungry eyes the smoke
of a gunboat on the horizon.
Months afterwards there were a few
lines in an English paper TO the effect
that some gunboat of some foreign
power had broken her back at the
mouth of some faraway harbor by run
ming at full speed into a sunken wreck.
