The Hawke's Bay Herald. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1878.
After all it appears that the British fleet has not yet entered the Dardanelles. It is still only about to enter. The step has already been put off' till its utility is questionable, and looks as if it would be put off til l , it becomes impossible. If the Checkmedges had been occupied by Great Britain, and Constantinople had been victualled by sea, it might have held out as long as Torres Vedras, but with Russia in occupation of the shore defences, it is hard to see what the six English vessels can do in the Sea of Marmora. When Russia is tired of seeing them there she can give them notice to quit, and the notice will have to be obeyed. It will be satisfactory if a pacific solution results, but why precede the solution with so much empty braggadocio.
