Mr.S.had been allowed to draw without opposition at Constantinople, Brussa, Ephesus, and several other cities of the East, but here he was obliged to flee.

Such is the disposition of these people, whom many describe as being so friendly.
The following morning at sunrise Mr.S.betook himself to the terrace of the convent, to make a sketch of the town.

Here too he was discovered, but luckily not until he had been at work some hours, and had almost completed his task; so that as soon as the first stone came flying towards him, he was able quietly to evacuate the field.
