of Europe, from Sebastopol in the Black Sea to Archangel in the northern part of 
Russia, also to some of the Portuguese and Spanish islands in the Atlantic 
ocean. During the Crimean war he was on a transport steamer, carrying troops, 
etc., to Sebastopol, at which place and Balaklava he remained some ten months.
