The three Pachas, Kalil, Sarudje, and Saganos, superintended each a side of the work, and over them all, active and fiercely zealous, moved Mahommed, the sword of Solomon in his hand. And there was no lack of material for the structure extensive as it was.
In one of the latter, the Count recognized Constantinople and its environs cast together from his own surveys. Retired a few steps were the two Viziers, Kalil Pacha and his rival, Saganos Pacha, the Mollah Kourani, and the Sheik Akschem-sed-din. The preaching of the Mollah had powerfully contributed to arousing the fanatical spirit of the Sultan's Mohammedan subjects.
Mahommed caught up the sword, and played with its ruby handle, turning it at angles to catch its radiations; at length he said: "Prince of India, thou hast spoken like a Prophet. Go call Kalil and Saganos." We have given the opening of the siege of Byzantium by Mahommed with dangerous minuteness, the danger of course being from the critic.
Throughout those four days but one man had place always at Mahommed's back, his confidant and adviser not Kalil, it is to be remarked, or Saganos, or the Mollah Kourani, or Akschem-sed-din the Dervish.
