The day after my visit to the shaikh I set out on my return to the city of Zaitun, and some days after my arrival there an order was received from the Kan that I was to proceed to the capital, with arrangements for my honourable treatment and for defraying my expenses. He left me free to go by land or by water as I chose ; so I preferred going by the river.
They fitted up a very nice boat for me, such as is used for the transport of generals ; the Amir sent some of his suite to accompany me, and furnished provisions in abundance ; quantities also were sent by the kazi and the Mahomedan merchants. We travelled as the guests of the sultan, dining at one village, and supping at another ; and after a passage of ten days we arrived at KANJANFV.
