A TOUR TO SHEERAZ.
CHAPTER I.
Voyage to JBushire—Gulf of ^Persia—Views—Shimals—Shurqees-—
Town of Buskire—Hindoo Images—Manuscripts, $c.
On Saturday the 10th of April, 1802, 1 embarked on board the
Shrewsbury, a vessel of three hundred tons burden, bound for the
Gulf of Persia. The best season for performing this voyage, is
from the commencement of October to the middle of March; we
were therefore too late, and were in consequence driven some
degrees to the southward before we met with a fair wind.
On the 25th, however, we came within sight of land, and on
the 26th entered the Gulf of Persia. Our scene was now entirely
changed; the eye, which had been accustomed to behold avast
expanse of water, was now gratified with a prospect of lofty hills and
numerous islands.
Soon after our entrance into the gulf, we suffered greatly from a
severe gale of wind, called a Shimal, from the wind blowing from
the north-west. These Shimals come on very suddenly; they
* usually last from two to five days, during which time hardly a cloud
is to be seen, although the wind rages with uncommon violence.
