Their arrival at once put an end to the
armistice at Pylos, and the Lacedaemonians asked back their ships according
to the convention.
The Athenians, however, alleged an attack on the fort in contravention of
the truce, and other grievances seemingly not worth mentioning, and refused
to give them back, insisting upon the clause by which the slightest
infringement made the armistice void.
The Lacedaemonians, after denying the contravention and protesting against
their bad faith in the matter of the ships, went away and earnestly
addressed themselves to the war.

Hostilities were now carried on at Pylos upon both sides with vigor.
The Athenians cruised round the island all day with two ships going
different ways; and by night, except on the seaward side in windy weather, anchored round
it with their whole fleet, which having been reinforced by twenty ships from
Athens come to aid in the blockade, now numbered seventy sail; while the Peloponnesians remained encamped on the continent, making attacks
on the fort, and on the look-out for any opportunity which might offer
itself for the deliverance of their men.
