Cochrane, meanwhile, with a squadron of twenty-three ships, was to sail round the Peloponnese, and, forming a junction with Church, to carry him over to "Western Hellas. On the 10th of September Cochrane anchored before Missolonghi. Codrington, however, who, as stated above, had sailed up from Navarino to watch his movements, forbade him to disembark in Albania ; and the original plan of campaign had therefore to be abandoned. Cochrane had to content himself with bombarding the fort of Yasilidi, without, however, producing any impression. He then returned to Syra in the Cyclades, leaving Captain Hastings, with a small. squadron, to join Church in the Gulf of Corinth. Besides his own vessel, the steamship Karteria, Hastings had under his command the Soter, commanded by Captain Thomas, a couple of schooners and two gunboats.

Hastings anchored the Kartcria about five hundred yards from the shore, under a furious fire from the Turkish ships and batteries; while the rest of his little flotilla remained about two hundred yards further out. He proceeded with the greatest coolness and deliberation. Some rounds of cold shot were first fired from the small cannon, in order to discover the exact range. This having been done, Hastings loaded the long guns and carronades with bombs and red-hot balls, and poured in a murderous fire on the Turks. The effect was instantaneous. A shot entered the magazine of the Turkish commodore, and blew him into the air; a brig was sunk, one schooner burnt, and another driven ashore; and within half an hour the Ottoman fleet was completely destroyed. silenced the Turkish batteries; The gunboats now ran in shore and made to haul off the stranded schooner. and an attempt was This, how-
