When the Prince is with the Nabob upon 

 the party, the etiquette obferved in regard to 

 him, is this : as foon as the Nabob is mount- 

 ed, he goes in front of the Prince's tent, and 

 there waits till he is ready -, as foon as his 

 Royal Highnefs comes out of his tent, the 

 Vifier pays his obeifance by making his 

 elephant kneel down, and then makes three 

 Jalatm to him. The Prince is then mount- 

 ed upon his elephant, which is made to ad- 

 vance about eight or ten paces in front of 

 the Nabob and the refl: of the party, and in 

 that ftation he marches on. When they 

 arrive at the new camp, the Nabob attends 

 him to the door of his tent, and then takes 

 his leave ; and this form he repeats regu- 

 larly twice every day. 



As you may be curious to know how I 

 difpofe of myfelf in the party, I fliall briefly 

 mention it. I generally have two or three 

 elephants of my own well caparifoned, and 

 a double fet of tents, one of which is al- 

 ,,M^ays fent on with the Nabob's, fo that I 

 am entirely independent in refped: to my 

 equipage ; and as both the Perfian and In-
