A TROUBLESOME PACK.
("Times" and "Sydney Sun" Serviree.) ATHENS. June 6. Ono hundred and ninety Euzoues, with tlieir officers, decided to assist their co-religionists in Epirus. Leaving their riflos in tho barracks to allay suspicion, they ombarkod on a steamer as ordinary passengers. When at sea they over-awed tho crew, and ordered tho captain to proceed direct to Prevesa. Tho authorities, apprised of tho desertion of the Enzoues, sent two destroyers in chase. They came abreast of tho steamer, and ordered it to follow them. Tho Euzoues refused. A destroyer thereupon lay across; the bows of the steamer, but Exizoues took tho wheel and crashed into tho destroyer amidships. They then beached the vessel.
The deserters then disembarked, and started to march across country. They wore finally persuaded to surrender and were immured in an adjacent fortress.
