teenth century was bccalmed 1T the
entrance Of the Hellespont. At that
time there was at the court Of Athens
an amba ssador OF the King Of France.
who set out in n galley to visit the
chiefs OF the feet. The admiral con
tidcd to him that he had. been ordered
TO take Constautinoplc by surprise.
The ambassador spoke OF tho difficult
ties and dangers of this passage. as 1t
was between two banks from which
ballistae could hurl upon the vessels
enormous stones. boiling oil and. above
ALL Greek fire. The admiral revealed
to him that the governors Of the forts
would make little resistance. as they
had been bribed. The envoy was so
pleased that as soon as he had re-
turned to land he had great trouble
to hold his tongue. He was heard to
prophesy in mysterious words that the
famous passage would soon be forced.
Az there were spies on all sides. the
words Of the ambassador were soon
carried to Constantinople. When the
flee, presented itself III the Hcllcspont
the catapults of the Turks manifested
great activity. The brihed captains of
tho forts had been removed and others
were in their places The indiscrcct
ambassa dor. was recalled to Paris and
