warrior and adventurer of those times. He was a Muscovite admiral

and defeated the Turks in the bay [of the Dnieper, near Ochakov];

later he was himself utterly defeated by the Swedes. He spent

some time in Poland, where he was granted the rights of a

citizen. The combat of the Prince de Nassau with the tiger [in

Africa!] was noised abroad at the time through all the newspapers

of Europe.
