and Sill^ four Handkerchiefs, of painted Linnen, and two Bottles, the one full of 

 Aquavit a 3 z&à the other full of Spanijh-Wmc. At my departure he fent a Con- 

 voy of twenty Horfe four or five leagues along with me. 



One evening, being about to lodg upon the Frontiers of the Territories of the 

 Raja of Bargant, my people came to me and told me, that if we took the Road 

 through Bargant, we mould go neer to have all our throats cut, for that the Raja 

 of that place liv'd altogether upon Robbery. So that unlefs I hird an hunder'd 

 more of the Countrey-people, there was no likelihood of efcaping thofe Free- 

 booters. At firft I argu'd with them, and tax'd their Cowardice, but fearing to 

 pay for my rafhnefs afterwards, I fent them to hire fifty more, for three days 

 only,that we crofs'd the Raja's Countrey ,: for which they ask'd me every one four 

 Roupies,which is as much as you give them fora whole Month. The next day as I 

 was about to fet forward, my Guard came and told me they would leave me,, 

 and that they would not venture their lives, defiring me not to write to Agra to 

 their Captain, who was-refponfible for them, that they had left me againft my 

 will. Three of my fervants alfo did as they did, fo that I hâd no body left with 

 me, but a man that lead an Horfe in his hand, my Coachman, and three other fer- 

 vants, and fo I fet forward under the protection of God. About a league from 

 the place which I had left, I perceived fome part of my Convoy following me. 

 Thereupon i ftopt my Coach to fray for them, and when they came neer, I bid 

 them advance if they intended to go along with me. But feeing them fearful, 

 and unrefolv'd, I bid rhem go about their bufinefs, telling them I had no need of 

 fuch Coward? as they were. About a league from thence I difcover'd upon the 

 brow of an Hill about fifty Horfe, four of which came riding up to me ; when I 

 perceived them, I alighted out of my Coach, and having with me fome thirteen 

 Spit-fires, I gave to every one of my men an Harquebufs. The Horfe-men ap- 

 proaching, I kept my Coach between them and me, and had my Gun ready cockt, 

 in cafe they fhould aflail me. But they made me a fign, that I mould fear nothings 

 only that the Prince was a Hunting, and had fent to- know what Strangers paft 

 through his Territories : I made anfwer, that I was the fame Frangxy that had 

 paft by five or fix weeks before. By good luck, the very fàme Lieutenant to 

 whom I had made the Prefent of Aquavit* and Spanifh-W'mc, follow'd thofe 

 four Horfemen. And after he had teftify'd how glad he was to fee me, he ask'd 

 me if I had any Wine 5 I told him I never travell'd without that : For indeed the 

 Englijlo and Hollanders had prçfènted me with feveral Bottels at Agra. So foon 

 as the Lieutenant was return'd to the Raja, the Raja himfelf came to me, and 

 told me I was welcome ; and bid me reft my felf in a fhady- place which he 

 pointed to, about a league and an half from the place where we were. In the 

 evening he came, and we ftaid together two days to make merry ; the Raja bring- 

 ing along with him certain Morrice-dancers, without which the Perfians and Irn 

 Sans can never think themfelves heartily merry. At my departure the Raja lent 

 me 200 Horfe,to convoy me to the Frontiers of his Territories, for three days to- 

 gether j for which I only gave them three or four pound of Tobacco. When I 

 came to Amadabat, the people would hardly believe that I had hadfo kind a re- 

 ception from a Prince, that was noted for abufing ftrangers that paft through his 

 Countrey.
