Russian Prisoners on board "The Fury", at Constantinople, 1854. Crimean War: prisoners of war on Royal Navy steam frigate Fury, bound for Odessa, where '...they are to be exchanged for the crew of the Tiger...They were 150 in number, and appeared, on the whole, to be a fine set of men. They seemed highly delighted at their deliverance, and testified great admiration of the fine vessel in which they were quartered...[Of] the officers, who were five in number...not one of these five could speak a syllable of any language but his own...They mess with the officers of the frigate; and the Colonel, a stout, vulgar man, dines with the Commodore...The prisoners have all been well treated; though the close quarters to which they are naturally confined, and the great heat, are complained of'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
