p. 187: “The irresistible Greek Steam Boat.—This remnant of the Greek flotilla burned in the Thames, which had been constructed at the expense of thousands of pounds, was lately put up for sale, and knocked down at 400£.

Time will perhaps develope all; but the entire business puts on such an aspect, not only towards the Greeks, but towards the shareholders in the loan, that the truth must be sifted out. A true Eldon Chancery suit could not have better cleared the pockets of a suitor than this shameless affair has pillaged both Greeks and those who advanced them their money.”
