In one of the Greek cities there

the case with most of those old mas
rpieces of genius; but there is

gives us an excellent description of

"That men may seize me when

"Why, then, is thy head so bald

"To show that when | have once

would come to look at the ship. We
did not want to go into the place they
showed us. which was below trap

l,et Us out soon, and if we did not go
NC could not leave Russia. We all got
down through the door, where there
was a lot of water. 1t was as high as
our waists, and it smelled very bad.
They shut the door and made it dark.
We were crowded close together, and
after awhile we could not breathe, so
we called for them to let us out, and
we pounded on the door. After long
time some of the boys began to fall
down, and then I did not know any
thing until l was on deck"
