ABSTRACT
A n d when the Lord King of Aragon had departed from Trapani with the four galleys and an armed leny he ordered En Roger1 Marquet and En Berenguer Mallol to steer for Goletta, for he wished to go along the coast to Barbary, and to go to the town of Collo, to see if it was inhabited and what was being done and said there. And as he commanded, so they did. And when they were at Goletta, the Lord King with a good company went to hunt goats which are wild there, for he was one of the best hunters of wild game in the world and always liked to go hunting in the mountains. And they took so many goats that all the galleys were provisioned with them, for it is amongst the best and richest meat in the world. And they killed so many that they became scarce.
