The Eastern Crisis: The storming of the blockhouse of Malaxa by the Christian insurgents
Woodville R. Caton
Prior Melton
Early on the morning of March 25 a large force of Christian insurgents took up its position, with three guns, for an attack upon thw Turkish blockhouse at Malaxa, a village near Canea. After prolonged artillery firing, the insurgents advanced on the blockhouse. The Turkish garrison eventually raised a white flag, and the Christians entered the blockhouse with a rush. The first of the insurgents to enter the fort was the young Cretan, Manos, who was recently an undergratuate at Oxford and is now the leader of a band of young patriots. Thanks to his invention, the lives of most of the garrison were spared, forty-three prisoners being taken to Kontopulo by the irsugents when their bombardment by the war-ships of the Powers obliged them to evacuate the blockhouse.
