About 200 refugees were found to have assembled on the beach. The “Bryony” left the caiques, with the necessary escort, and proceeded to Fistikli. That village appeared to be perfectly quiet. Turkish and Greek merchants were selling their olives on the landing-place. An officer was sent ashore to make enquiries. The Turks, terrified at what was passing in other villages, were selling their goods before leaving for Armudli. (The price offered by the Greeks was certainly below the usual standard.) Armudli was reached at mid-day. The village appeared quiet. An officer was sent ashore to ask the officer commanding the Greek detachment to come on board and report if it was necessary for the commission to visit the village. It was decided that the commission should interrogate the chief Greek and Turkish inhabitants at the landing-place at 2 o’clock. The Greek officer stated that all was quiet and that he had orders to guard the village only. He spoke of several cases of brigandage in the adjoining farms. The representatives of the Greek and Turkish committees appeared to be living in absolute agreement, but, on being questioned separately, nevertheless complained of each other. The commission went back on board the “Bryony” and made for Kapakli, in order to tow the two caiques, which were brought back full of refugees to Kutchuk-Kumlar. On arriving at Kumlar, the representative of the Red Cross stated that he had spoken with the brigand chief, who had arrived at the landing-place during the absence of the “Bryony” in order to terrorise the refugees and boast of his doings. A message was sent to General Leonardopoulos, advising him of the arrival of the brigand chief. The “Bryony” remained anchored outside Kutchuk Kumlar during the night. _May 18._—At 8 o’clock the “Bryony” returned to Guemlek. At 9 o’clock the commission went ashore and visited the Turkish quarter and a mosque full of Moslem refugees. The commission conducted its enquiry at the seat of the Turkish Administration. All the people were filled with terror, received no food beyond what they could procure themselves and asked to be taken away and sent to some quiet place. On returning on board, the commission received a wireless message at 1 P.M., stating that the “Ineboli” had just left Constantinople to take on board refugees from Kutchuk Kumlar. The commission returned to Guemlek, visited the mayor, and informed him of its intention to take away the Turkish refugees. At 6·30 we returned to Kutchuk Kumlar. At 9 o’clock the boat arrived and took the refugees on board, the baby which we had on board being handed over to the care of a Turkish woman. Embarkation was completed at 2 A.M., and the “Ineboli” left for Constantinople. _May 19._—The “Bryony” remained anchored beyond Kutchuk Kumlar. Those refugees for whom there had been no room on board the “Ineboli,” and who had been left behind, gained confidence, and several returned to the village to obtain provisions.
