The _Turkish_ Bashaw also added some threatning Expressions of Revenge. It may be, he thought that the Sight of his Army would terrify me; but he was mistaken. I answered him roundly, that the _Hungarians_ might rather find Fault with the _Turks_, than on the contrary; for I my self, in my Travels, had seen some of his Soldiers plunder some _Hungarians_, Subjects of his Imperial Majesty, and carry away their Goods. He answered me, he had indeed put some contumacious _Christians_ under military Execution; but they were such as were under his Master, not the Emperor. Thus, after a mutual Altercation, I was dismissed, being in very bad plight, for my Ague-Fit was strong upon me all that Day. The Day after, I went to _Gran_, having a _Turkish_ Guard of Horse along with me. I had a mind to be wafted over the _Danube_, and for one Night to lodge in a Village over against the Castle of _Gran_, that the Day after I might come the sooner to _Commara_, and be better able to endure my Ague-Fit, which I expected that Day; and therefore I entreated that Favour of my Guide, that he would send some body over, to bring the Ferry-Boat, that was on the other Side, that so our Passage might be the easier. I found some Difficulty in having my Request granted; yet, partly to gratify me, and partly to acquaint the _Sanziacks_ with my Arrival there, he sent over two Persons. When they were gone an Hour before, they spied four Horsemen standing under a Tree, a little from the High-way-side. They judged them, by their Habits, to be _Turks_, and therefore turned aside to accost them; and, as they drew near, they ask’d them, What News? They answered not a Word; but made at them with their drawn Swords, and gave one of them such a Blow, athwart his Face, that he made the greatest Part of his Nose to hang down over his Chin; and then catching at his Horse, which he held by the Bridle, he left his own Beast, and mounting it, set Spurs, and away. The _Turks_ presently came back to us, especially he with the maim’d Face, and, with a woful Lamentation, bid us prepare for the Combat, for we were Way-laid. I, to encourage my Men, got presently on Horse-back; but we came too late, when the Scuffle was over; for they had more mind to preserve the Prey they had got, than to fight; and thereupon fled speedily to _Javarin_, a Garrison of ours, to which they did belong: The _Turks_ shewed them to us, as they were scouring over the neighbouring Hills that led to _Javarin_. Thus we came to _Gran_; the _Sanziack_ very friendly gave me a Visit, and, among other Discourse, he put me in mind of the Insolency of the _Hungarian_ Soldiers, who could not be kept from Thieving (said he) though you, the Emperor’s Ambassador, were in company of those they robbed; and therefore he desired of me, that the Horse they took away yesterday might be restored. In the mean Time, the _Turk_, that was wounded the Day before, stood without in the Entry, with his Nose sewed
