APPENDIX H.

In the neighbouring Vilayet of Adrianople, near Cape Emineh, there are now two bands of brigands, amounting to thirty in number: they are said to be from the Greek village of Akdere, whose inhabitants have for many years borne an infamous reputation as robbers and wreckers: one of the Authors was fired at a few days since whilst returning from that part of the country, probably by one of these gentlemen; but as Hassan, who killed Kara Kostia, has set out on their track, and the Turks have the intention, if the robbers are not captured by the police, of making a grand battue of the woods they frequent, it is likely that they will soon be exterminated.
