Sesostris avait resolu, pour abattre leur orgueil, de troubler leur commerce dans toutes les mers. Ses vaisseaux allaient de tous cotes cherchant lesPheniciens.

Ils nous abordent, nousprennent, et nous amenent prisonniers en Egypte. 2. Translate into French— Sir William Douglas, owner of the castle where Mary was imprisoned, was a halfbrother by the mother's side of the Begent Murray.

A plot laid by him for the Queen's deliverance was discovered, and he was expelled from the island in consequence.
