They were as fine looking a body of soldiers as I ever saw well armed and well clothed, the men all large and of sturdy appearance.
From the Pigeon Mosque we ascend the Saraka Tower, the great watch-tower of Stamboul, from the summit of which the news of a fire in any part of the city is signalled, by suspending huge frame-work balls covered with canvas from the ends of projecting poles in the day, and lights at night.
