had been burned ; but in lieu of it, a kind of 
booth had been erected, by putting together a 
few planks, where coffee was sold to the rebels : 
and, as we were forced to consign ourselves 
into their hands, we considered that we should 
be safer in a place of public resort, than where 
we were liable to the attacks of more private 
marauders. Hitherto we had seen only a few 
armed individuals collected about this booth, 
who offered us no molestation. We agreed 
therefore with the owner of it, to remain witlv 
him until the morning. All the former inhabi- 
tants of Fairy had deserted the place ; and fled 
to another town, called Mary\ the Ismarus 
(1) This town occurs in the ordinary route from Salonica to Con- 
stantinople, between Gytnmergme and Fairy. We were conductetl 
from Gymmerg'me to Fairy without passing through Mary, by which 
we saved three hours of the journey. The two routes are thus laid 
down in Mr. Cripps's MS. Jotirnal. ;.;
