belonging to the Prince of Shiraz, and which he allowed Colonel
Macdonald to occupy, we passed the lofty pole to which, at the
No Rozy or new year's day, a popinjay is attached, at which the
prince and nobles fire.
The party now consisted of the Envoy and his lady. Major Wil-
lock, Captain Campbell, Captain Jarvis, agent for horses. Sir Keith
Jackson, Bart. H. M. 4th Dragoons, Military Secretary to the
Governor of Bombay, Dr. Reoch, Mr. George Malcolm, Lieutenant
McDonald commanding escort. Lieutenant Strong, and myself,*
The escort consisted of fifty men of Spiller's horse, under the con
trol of a jemadar. Their full dress was a long yellow coat with a
red sash, turban, breeches, and long boots; the greater part armed
with spears, the remainder with matchlocks ; the undress dark blue
and red. Their appearance was exceedingly shewy, and well cal
culated to please the eye of the splendour-loving Persians.
The Tukht-i-Kudjur is built on a small rock, under a hill to the
eastward of the city, overlooking a large garden filled with fruit-
trees of every description. The hall of audience commands a beau
tiful and extensive view of the city and valley. It is about twenty
feet in height, open on one side; the opposite side filled up by a
large window of stained glass.
The Envoy did not propose to start for Ispahan for four or five
days, so that we had abundance of leisure to see all the objects
worthy of notice in and around the city. The Envoy had already
visited the Prince, Houssein Allee Mirza, his prime minister^
Zachee Khan, &c. His lady had also visited the wives of the
Prince.
* The Envoy having politely requested me to attach myself to his suite.
