guess the cause of it. He replied, that he believed
it proceeded from nothing more, than that the Mirza
expected, if the king was unfortunate in his present
expedition, the country between Shiraz and Bushire
might become so disturbed, that I might find it dif

afterwards remarked to the Mirza this request of the
king's, his answer was : " I pray God the king may

" as you can. Mirza Bazurg remains here for a few
" days; and if you want any assistance, apply to
" him without scruple."
The evening before the king marched, I happened
