Of the ISLAND of CANDY. 



OU T of the Ifland of Candy Strangers export great ftore of Wheat and 

 Sallet-Oyl , all forts of Pulle , Cheefe , yellow Wax, Cottons , Silks, 

 but more efpecially Malmfey, wherein confifts its chiefeft Trade. When 

 Vintage draws near, the Country-people that are to gather the Grapes 

 wrap their Feet in a piece of a Boar's Skin , which they tye together upon the 

 upper part of the Foot with a piece of Pack-thred, to preferve their Feet from the 

 violent heat of the Rocks upon which they are to tread. Thofe Skins are brought 

 out of Raffia by the Ruffes , that bring Botargo and Caviare to Confiantinopie , where 

 they have a vaft vent for it all over Turkie , Perfia , and Ethiopia ; where they that 

 follow the Cjreekjxsà Armenian Church , eat little or nothing elfe all the Lent. By 

 the way take notice, that the Turks make a certain Glew out of Sturgeon, which is the 

 beft in the World,fo that whatever is faften'd with it,will rather break in another place 

 than where it is glew'd. They make it thus : When they have caught a Sturgeon, they 

 pull out his Guts, and then there remains a Skin that covers the Fleflv, this Skin 

 they take off from the head to the belly. It is very clammy, and about the thick- 

 nefs of two Sheets of Paper, which they roll as thick as a Man's Arm, and let it 

 dry in the Sun. When they ufe it , they beat it with a Mallet , and when it is 

 well beat'n they break it into pieces , and fteep it in Water for half an hour in a 

 little Pot. 



When the Venetians were Matters of Candy , they that had committed any Crime 

 which deferv'd Death , if they Could get out of the Ifland before they were appre- 

 hended ?
