'Chrisaphopulo presses me to receive petitions of the inhabitants. He when alone with me said the Candiotes would fain be in the service of the English. I think this will follow, that he will offer to give Karabusa to the English and assist them to defend it if I will protect their families.
It was in celebration of the reduction of the Greeks of Candia, an island which in 1361 had recently been ceded to the Republic. The Candiotes rose in general rebellion, but were so promptly subdued that the news of the outbreak scarcely anticipated the announcement of its suppression in Venice.

Readers should therefore refer to the note already published on this point. This refers to the insurrection of the Candiotes, who were, in fact largely assisted by Captain Nemo. Day had returned.

The Cargo of the Speronare was mostly Crockery-ware and Household Stuff, for the use of the Candiotes; and the Moors would not be at the trouble of Removing, so they Scuttled her, and bore away to the Norrard. Item. I swallowed my Despatches; but the Moors got hold of my Letters of Credit and my Cipher. SO we were all taken into Algiers.
