ABSTRACT
[317/1] We went on, from the spot where the heathen attacked us with arrows, to the City of Narangor. We reached it at nightfall, and our Guide took us to the Caramossora, where he provided us with good clean rooms. After seeing us settled in he came up to take leave of me, concealing his ill will towards us with a smiling face and pleased expression, to receive the pay owing for his duties, and moreover, besides giving him something over and above this amount, I ordered him to be presented with some pepper, an article which these Heathen esteem highly as a flavouring for their food, as I believed it might cause him to forget the dead peacocks.
