evidence; who could not be said to have made an attack upon any pair of

intention of coming to Jerusalem; and whose geographical position in no

Those of his new relatives, however, who did get to know him soon began
to see that Philippa had not made such a bad bargain after all. With the
confidence and added belief in himself that the recognition and
encouragement of those kind women brought him, Columbus”s mind and
imagination expanded; and I think it was probably now that he began to
wonder if all his knowledge and seamanship, his quite useful smattering
of cartography and cosmography, his real love of adventure, and all his
dreams and speculations concerning the unknown and uncharted seas, could
not be turned to some practical account. His wife”s step-sister Iseult
and her husband had, moreover, only lately returned to Lisbon from their
long residence in Porto Santo; young Bartolomeo Perestrello, her brother,
was reigning there in their stead, and no doubt sending home interesting
accounts of ships and navigators that put in at Madeira; and all the
circumstances would tend to fan the spark of Columbus”s desire to have
some adventure and glory of his own on the high seas. He would wish
to show all these grandees, with whom his marriage had brought
him acquainted, that you did not need to be born a Perestrello
–or Pallastrelli, as the name was in its original Italian form–to make
a name in the world. Donna Isabel, moreover, was never tired of talking
about Porto Santo and her dead husband, and of all the voyages and sea
adventures that had filled his life. She was obviously a good teller of
tales, and had all the old history and traditions of Madeira at her
fingers” ends; the story of Robert Machin and Anne Dorset; the story of
the isle of Seven Cities; and the black cloud on the horizon that turned
out in the end to be Madeira. She told Christopher how her husband, when
he had first gone to Porto Santo, had taken there a litter of rabbits,
and how the rabbits had so increased that in two seasons they had eaten
up everything on the island, and rendered it uninhabitable for some time.

NOTE 6

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 6:44 am

NOTE 6.–The description of Kishm as a ‘very great’ province is an example
of a bad habit of Marco”s, which recurs in the next chapter. What he says
of the cave-dwellings may be illustrated by Burnes”s account of the
excavations at Bamian, in a neighbouring district. These ’still form the
residence of the greater part of the population…. The hills at Bamian
are formed of indurated clay and pebbles, which renders this excavation a
matter of little difficulty.’ Similar occupied excavations are noticed by
Moorcroft at Heibak and other places towards Khulm.

Mr

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 2:44 am

Mr. Badger, in a postscript to his translation of the History of Omn
(_Hak. Soc._ 1871), maintains that Kish or Kais was at this time a city on
the mainland, and identical from Srf. He refers to Ibn Batuta (II. 244),
who certainly does speak of visiting ‘the city of Kais, called also
Srf.’ And Polo, neither here nor in Bk. III. ch. xl., speaks of Kisi as
an island. I am inclined, however, to think that this was from not having
visited it. Ibn Batuta says nothing of Srf as a seat of trade; but the
historian Wassf, who had been in the service of Jamluddn al-Thaibi, the
Lord of Kais, in speaking of the export of horses thence to India, calls
it ‘the _Island_ of Kais.’ (Elliot, III. 34.) Compare allusions to this
horse trade in ch. xv. and in Bk. III. ch. xvii. Wassf was precisely a
contemporary of Polo.

On the road by which we return from Hormos to Kerman you meet with some
very fine plains, and you also find many natural hot baths; you find
plenty of partridges on the road; and there are towns where victual is
cheap and abundant, with quantities of dates and other fruits. The wheaten
bread, however, is so bitter, owing to the bitterness of the water, that
no one can eat it who is not used to it. The baths that I mentioned have
excellent virtues; they cure the itch and several other diseases.[NOTE 7]

[Mr. Rockhill (_Rubruck_, 101, note) says that these post-stations were
established by Okkodai in 1234 throughout the Mongol empire. (_D”Ohsson_,
ii. 63.) Dr. G. Schlegel (_T”oung Pao_, II. 1891, 265, note) observes that
_iam_ is not, as Pauthier supposed, a contraction of _yi-m_, horse
post-house (_yi-m_ means post-horse, and Pauthier makes a mistake), but
represents the Chinese character [Chinese], pronounced at present _chn_,
which means in fact a road station, a post. In Annamite, this character
[Chinese] is pronounced _tram_, and it means, according to _Bonet”s Dict.
Annamite-Franais_: ‘Relais de poste, station de repos.’ (See
_Bretschneider, Med. Res._ I. p. 187 note.)–H. C.]
