text_original: Still the Sultan, Solyman, pretended to be friendly, and humbly desired that an ambassador might be sent to him to represent the island, but L'Isle Adam refused, knowing too well what would be done to the ambassador. His good sense was proved shortly afterward when he learned that the Turks had captured a Rhodian sailor, and by torturing him had extracted all the information that he could give about the defences of the island.
