252 THE WAR OF GKEEK INDEPENDENCE sail on an enterprise which could only have been justified by brilliant success. At the beginning of June he put to sea with a squadron of twenty-two war vessels and six fire-ships, without letting it be known what was his destination. Not till he had passed the island of Crete did he inform his captains that it was his intention to sail for Alexandria and attempt to destroy the fleet which Mehemet Ali was now fitting out in order to enable Ibraham to crush the last remnants of the Greek sea-power. On the 17th of June Cochrane appeared off Alexandria. The Egyptians were utterly taken by surprise, and the guard-ship at the mouth of the port was destroyed before it could make its escape. Had the Greeks at once sailed boldly into the harbour, it is possible that they might have succeeded in destroying the Egyptian fleet, which was but half equipped and quite unprepared for an engagement. Failure, however, would have meant utter destruction; and Cochrane did not venture to risk his ships through the narrow entrance to the port. He contented himself with hovering about outside; while Mehemet in person, furious at the insult to his capital, pressed on the armament of his ships, and, as soon as they were ready, stood out to sea to punish the presumption of the Greeks. These, however, did not care to risk an engagement with Mehemet's superior
INTERVENTION OF THE ADMIRALS 253 force, and made all sail for Greece, pursued for some distance by the Egyptians. This second fiasco destroyed what survived of Cochrane's prestige. The Greeks, weary of their continued ill-success at sea, took once more, with increased zest, to piracy pure and simple. It was reckoned that, at this time, more than a quarter of the population were engaged, in one way or another, in this lucrative pursuit. ' i Piracy,' said the Spectateur d'Orient,' ' is the only complete and systematised organisation which the Revolution of '21 has as yet produced.' At last, however, on the 1st of August, Cochrane did succeed in winning a victory at sea. Off Papas he fell in with an Egyptian Cape corvette and schooner, which he captured after a sharp engagement, and towed in triumph into the harbour of Nauplia. The effect of this success, the last achieved by the Greeks before the intervention of the Powers in the war, was heightened by the news which immediately followed. On the llth of August the terms of the Treaty of London were communicated to the French and English admirals at Smyrna. Admirals Codrington and de Rigny were now empowered to interpose in the ' war, and part the combatants, with trum- if possible, pets; if necessary, with cannon.' The island of Melos
