Whes he recovered, he recolleéted (for they &ill remain- ed in his houle ) that he had a watch concealed ; and in hopes to appeale them, gave them ‘that; but unhappily, : inffcsd of: appeafivg, this incenfed them.—Now chey called for his concealed ducats and rubles, which not hzving; they cried, fite l'and immediately firipped and began to torture him, by holding lighted handfuls of fitaw to his bady,—then laying him on the grouad on {ome ftraw, fet fire to it, but the movement of his arms and body extinguifhing i, two laid hotd of his feet, and two of hishezd, and held him over the fmoak and flame till the ftraw was burnt.— Not yet contentéd, they got more, fet it on fire, threw him oa his back in it, and, vahe lay, kept whipping his bare brealt and belly. He urderwent even more, till fome of the barbarians were mived to compifiton, and obliged the moft cruel one, who was in a green drefs, to leave him ; which he did, with s farious firoke upon his head with the broad part of his fabre. The Cofficks, &c. have, in general, acquired fuch a _ dexterity in plundering, that every place is cleared with the greateft rapidity ; and what is the more provoking, thefe barbarians oblige the very towns, where they have ‘behaved mote like devils than men, to give them, at their departure, written and fealed teflimonies of their having obferved the moft exa& difcipline.
