 which we stood we could see the waves break-

 from which to bid farewell to a beautiful land,

Rejoining our people, we proceeded to Le-

 one of the best cultivated spots in Lycia, the fields 

 being well fenced, and the vine and fir-trees in 

 great perfection. The night was far advanced 

 before we reached our destination ; but as both 

 guides and horses knew the pathway well, we 

 had no difficulty in travelling in the dark. 

 Nor were we without lights to show the way ; 

 for the fire-flies, few of which had hitherto 

 appeared, were here abundant, and flitted like 

 sparks in every direction as we advanced.
