Excerpt from Count Falcon of the Eyrie: A Narrative Wherein Are Set Forth the Adventures Ventures Guido Orrabelli Dei Falchi During a Certain Autumn of His Career We were a body of broken men, - the remnant of a splendid armament which one of the great admirals of Venice had hurled against the Turks to be shattered by sea and decimated by land. We had left our com rades on the beaches of Candia, by the shores of Cyprus, under the frowning promontories of Epirus, and in the rocky wastes of the Morea. We were sore and maimed and bitter at heart, and the sharp sword of defeat had pierced each of us to the soul.
