too much for him, and he left town.

the plain stand the tombs of Hector and
Achilles, THAI of the latter near the IIellC;-
pont, where the Greek fleet was moorcd.
Near Is the grave of his friend, Patroclus
All their glorics are now reduced to few

very muddy, having the appearance of be

Farther up the plain its course becomes

After passing IA smaller river, you arrive
at an ancient tumulus, not far from the
shore. What is most striking in this
monument Is the existence of an arch,
