XI.] PIPES, COFFEE AND SHERBET. 201
ancient cities of which my friends had heard a report;
of my artist and his sketches; of my object in carefully
exploring all the antiquities of the island; of the laws
by which the Greeks were governed before the Turkish
capture of Constantinople; of Egypt and the inunda-
tion of the Nile; of the principles of hydrostatics, with
the use of the Turkish su-terassi, which is seen in many
aqueducts; and of various other matters. Interesting
as the conversation was to the parties who were present,
it is hardly worth while to drag my reader through all
its details. Our costly pipes were several times re-
plenished, coffee was twice handed round, and sherbet
once, before I rose and took my leave.
