-paring to set him the example. These companions
of ours proved to be a Turkish vessel, a Venetian
and one under Swiss colours manned with Greeks Silarmians
with only one Russian on board a common sailor This latter we visited
yesterday afternoon, the Captain, Mr Griffiths and Mr Schnieder and I, at the desire of Mr Schneider to
whom in his quality of a Russian subject such a
vessel was more particularly interesting. It proved to be
a three mast Polacea (two months from Tagarrog
(at the
farther end of the Sea of Azoss) loaden with corn for
Sinyrna. The Captain who was a Greek was not on
board: we therefore did not go on board ourselves. What
was still more agreeable to me we landed & made a little excursion
into the country, first on one side of the harbour
and then on the opposite. I picked up some plants
one of which a pretty shrub with quinque foliated leaves
was new to me. It had no flowers, so that I we could not
determine its genus but what was better it had seeds
of which I took care to bag in a good stock. P.S. It turns out to be the Vitex Aguges-castus. In one group
wh in rocky ground close to the water's edgeI found the Oleanders
Mirtles, one of the sorts of Mastick-Tree which grows
every where, wild vines and a pretty kind of reed about
so as 7 foot high, and the five-finger-leaves <add> anonymous shrub above-mentioned
Further up we swathe arbutus in fruit
a few of them were ripe and were not unpleasant to the
