"This Country is so famous for hunting, that two Gentlemen of Distinction, viz: Mr. _Lembourg_ of the House of _Lembourg_ in _Germany_, and Mr. _Goring_, a Son of my Lord _Goring's_ in _England_, went _incognito_ in one of the _East India_ Company's Ships, for India. They left Letters directed for their Relations, in the Hands of a Friend of theirs, to be delivered two or three Months after their Departure, so that Letters of Credit followed them by the next Year's Shipping, with Orders from the _East India_ Company to the Chiefs of the Factories, wherever they should happen to come, to treat them according to their Quality. They spent three Years at _Carwar, viz:_ from Anno 1678 to 1681, then being tired with that Sort of Pleasure, they both took Passage on board a Company's Ship for _England_, but Mr. _Goring_ died four days after the Ship's Departure from _Carwar_, and lies buried on the Island of _St. Mary_, about four Leagues from the Shore, off _Batacola_, and Mr. _Lembourg_ returned safe to _England_." Four months after his return to Carwar, Harvey died, leaving his girl-wife a widow. She remained at Carwar, engaged in winding up the trading affairs of her late husband, and asserting her claim to his estate, which had been taken possession of by the Company's officials, according to custom. According to the practice of the day, every merchant and factor had private trading accounts which were mixed up with the Company's accounts, so that on retirement they were not allowed to leave the country till the Company's claims were settled. In case of death, their estates were taken possession of for the same reason. Two months later, Mr. Thomas Chown, the late supercargo of the _Godolphin_, was sent down to Carwar as a factor, and, a few weeks after his arrival, he married the young widow. Application was now made to the Council at Bombay for the effects of her late husband to be made over to her, and orders were sent to Carwar for the late Mr. Harvey's effects to be sold, and one-third of the estate to be paid to Mrs. Chown, provided Harvey had died intestate. The Carwar factory chief replied that the effects had realized 13,146 rupees 1 fanam and 12 budgerooks; that Harvey had left a will dated the 8th April, 1708, and that therefore nothing had been paid to Mrs. Chown. It was necessary for Chown and his wife to go to Bombay and prosecute their claims in person. The short voyage was destined to be an eventful one.
