But when she heard him protest he knew no such matter, nor ever saw _Bogal,_ till he bought him at _Axopolis,_ and that he was an _English-man,_ only by his Adventures made a Captain in those Countries. To try the truth, she found means to find out many who could speak _English, French, Dutch,_ and _Italian,_ to whom relating most part of these former Passages she thought necessary, which they so honestly reported to her, she took (as it seemed) much compassion on him; but having no use for him, lest her Mother should sell him, she sent him to her Brother, the _Timor Bashaw_ of _Nalbrits,_ In the Country of _Cambia,_ a Province in _Tartaria._ {MN-1} Here now let us remember his passing, in this speculative course from _Constantinople_ by _Sander, Screw, Panassa, Musa, Lastilla,_ to _Varna,_ an ancient City upon the _Black Sea._ In all which Journey, having little more liberty, than his eyes judgment, since his Captivity, he might see the Towns with their short Towers, and a most plain, fertile, and delicate Country, especially that most admired place of _Greece,_ now called _Romania,_ but from _Varna,_ nothing but the _Black Sea_ Water, till he came to the two Capes of _Taur_ and _Pergilos,_ where he passed the Streight of _Niger,_ which (as he conjectured) is some ten Leagues long, and three broad, betwixt two Low-lands, the Channel is deep, {MN-2} but at the entrance of the Sea _Dissabacca,_ there are many great Osie-shaulds, and many great black Rocks, which the _Turks_ said were Trees, Weeds, and Mud, thrown from the In-land Countries, by the Inundations and violence of the Current, and cast there by the Eddy. They Sailed by many low Isles, and saw many more of those muddy Rocks, and nothing else, but salt Water, till they came betwixt _Sufax_ and _Curuske,_ only two white Towns at the entrance of the River _Bruapo_ appeared: In six or seven days Sail, he saw four or five seeming strong Castles of Stone, with flat tops and Battlements about them, but arriving at _Cambia,_ he was (according to their custom) well used. The River was there more than half a Mile broad. The Castle was of a large Circumference, fourteen or fifteen foot thick, in the Foundation some six foot from the Wall, is a _Pallizado,_ and then a Ditch of about forty foot broad full of Water. On the West side of it, is a Town, all of low flat Houses, which as he conceived, could be of no great strength, yet it keeps all them barbarous Countreys about it in admiration and subjection. After he had stayed there three days; it was two days more before his Guides brought him to _Nalbrits,_ where the _Tymor_ was then resident, in a great vast Stone Castle, with many great Courts about it, invironed with high Stone Walls, where was quartered their Arms, when they first subjected those Countries, which only live to labour for those Tyrannical _Turks._ * * * * * {MN-1} _How he was sent into_ Tartaria.
