Excerpt from Journal of a Residence in Circassia, Vol. 2 of 2: During the Years 1837, 1838 and 1839
My dear -. To-day, about mid-day, cannon having been heard close at hand, I went to the top of a hill at a little distance, which commands a view of the sea, to ascertain what was going forward; but this the lofty beech-wood prevented, and the interest increasing with the continuance of the firing there was nothing for it but to make the best of my way - slipshod as I was - through that rugged forest down to the shore at the entrance of the glen of the Psekha, where I arrived, bathed in perspiration, in about fifteen minutes, and found the object of attack was a small Turkish craft from Trebizond - the enemy a steamer.
