Vol. III. Mifce/Ia^ea Curiofa. 25 



This Day the Smyrna Fleet from England 

 comes up to us very luckily, to our great Sa- 

 tisfadion and Joy. 



18. We are now got into the of Smyr^ 

 na^ and come to an Anchor without the 

 Caftle, not far from St. Jacomo's Pointy as 

 the Seamen call it, or rather Sangiac Point. 

 In the Afternoon the Conful, with feveral 

 Gentlement of the Faftory, came to wait 

 upon my Lord Ambaflador, and defired his 

 Lordftiip to defer his Entrance into Smyrna 

 till the Twentieth, that he might be receiv- 

 ed with greater Honour. That Evening 

 we heard a great howling of Jack^lls upon 

 the Hills. 



20. The Conful with the Nation, accom* 

 panied with his Druggermen and Janiz^aries in 

 their Habit^ together with feveral French^ 

 Duth and Geneofe Merchants, refiding in that 

 famous Emporium , came to the Village 

 near the Caftle, who there expefted us 

 with Horfes. Upon our going alhore y 

 the Leopard fired fifty one Guns. We made 

 about i4oHorrei and immediately upon our 

 fetting forth, we rode for about three Miles 

 together under the Hill to the S. W. of Smyr^ 

 na the places adjoyning fet thick with 

 Olive, Fig, and Almond-trees. Afterwards 

 we clambered over fome rocky Afcents ; but 

 the Horfes of the Country being furc-footed, 

 we were in no danger of falling.Some little way 

 we were forced to ride on the Sea-ftiore, and 

 foon after came to the Jews burying place, 

 whofe Monuments lie flat upon the ground. 

 As foon as we entred into the City, we found 

 the Streets full of Cresh^ Arrneniam^ Tiirks^
