In the days of the 25th, 26th, and 27th of April nothing remarkable occurred. The intermittent can- nonade and the desultory shooting from bows and rifles were continued. The Turks succeeded in making smaller or larger breaches at various points; these the Greeks and Latins quickly and effectively repaired. But it was already apparent that the defenders were getting each day more and more exhausted. The Turkish archers and sharp-shooters placed in the first line were daily changed and replaced ...by fresh men from the camp, but the riflemen and archers on the walls could not be replaced. In addition to this discouraging fact, disquieting rumours of the scarcity of food began to circulate in the last days of April. The preparations for the naval expedition were continued and completed. But the Genoese seemed not to have conducted their work with necessary discretion. A certain Faiuzzo, finding out the object of the unusual activity on some of the Genoese ships, went over to the Turkish camp, and betrayed the plans of the Venetian captains.
