embraced me, and said, ‘God be praised that fortune has supplied
my defect.. There are your goods, which I always took care to
preserve and to make the best of at every port where I touched.

From the Isle of Salabat we went to another, where I furnished
myself with cloves, cinnamon, and other spices. As we sailed
from that island we saw a tortoise that was twenty cubits in length
and breadth. We observed also a fish which looked like a cow, and
gave milk, and its:skin is.so hard that they usually make bucklers of
it. Isaw another which had the shape and colour of a camel. In
‘short, after a long voyage, I arrived at Balsora, and from thence
‘returned to this city of Bagdad, with so much riches that I knew not
‘what I-had. I gave a-great deal to ‘the poor, and bought another

. -great/ estate in addition: to what I-had already.
