464 Translation of the Mohit, [Aug. 



S. W. by W. Your measure (height) be the pole and no other, till 

 the pole marks five inches, then you go W. S. W. till the pole is four 

 inches and a quarter or four inches and an eighth, then true west to 

 Kardafdn. The signs of Kardafun being near are the birds Karik 1 

 and Manj?, but few are seen of the last, those which are the most 

 frequent are the Daghdt 3 and Kasld* ; of sea animals you see the 

 Tdbbdka* (tortoise ?) and sometimes the sea-horse ; as soon as land 

 is again at a distance these signs vanish : it is also probable that the 

 birds here seen are those of Socotra, Samaha 6 and Dorzan 7 . God 

 knows the rest. If at this time of your course Socotra is on the 

 north, you direct yourselves to Hadiai Socotra 8 , and if you go to 

 Kardafun, your course is along the Persian* continent. If you go 

 from Hejrdf\ to Ddrzin™ you steer W. N. W. and if you wish to go 

 from Mit u \ to Aden you steer true west till Aden is in sight, then you 

 follow the current, mdjri 12 , till Bab Mdndam. 



Twenty-third Voyage, from Ddbiil§ to Aden 13 . 



If you leave Dab 61 at the end of the season, you direct yourselves 

 W. S. W. till the pole is four inches and an eighth, from thence true 

 west to Kardafun. 



Twenty-fourth Voyage, from Kuwwai Sindabur x *\\ to Aden. 



If you start from Kuwwai Sindabur at the end of the season, take 

 care not to fall on Cape Fdl 15 , because it is five inches and a quarter 

 on the pole ; steer therefore W. by S. till the pole is four inches and 

 an eighth, from thence true west. 

 Twenty-fifth Voyage, from Hennur 16 \\ and Bdudaklaw 17 ^ to Aden. 



If you leave those two ports at the end of the season, go from 

 Azdditi 18 ** or Anguli 19 side- wards, and then turn to the sea true west, 

 if the wind be favourable ; if not, direct yourselves W. by S. or W. by 

 N. your utmost being S. W. by W. If you cannot attain any of 

 these directions, turn and steer to the pole till the wind grows favour- 

 able, then turn again and steer W. by S. till the pole is made by four 

 inches and an eighth, so you come then going true west to Kardafun : 

 the vicinity of Cape Fawl is known by the quantity of birds and a
