the Road from Surat to Goa, md from Goa to Golconda through
Vifapour.
Y OU may go bom Surat to Goa, partly by Land, and partly by Sea. But the
Road being very bad by Land, generally Travellers go by Sea, and hiring an
sUmadter, which is a Barque with Oars, they go by the Shoar to Goa though
fometimes the Malavares or Indian pirats are very much to be fear'd all along
thofe Coafts, ss I lhall tell you in due place. &
The way from Surat to G 0 a,h not reckon’d by Cotftv,but by Gw, one of which

The great danger which you run along the Coaft, is the hazard of failing into
the hands of the Adalavares, who are violent Bdabumetans, and very cruel to the
Chriftians. I faw a bare-foot Carmlite-Ynzr who had been taken by thofe Pirats.
This Friar, to get his ranfom the fooner, they put to that kind of torture,that his
right-arm was ihorter by one half then his left, andfo it was with one leg. The
Captains do not gite above fix Crowns to every Souldier for the whole fix months
that they are ufually out at Sea : Then the Souldiers may return home, and if
their Captams will have them ftay longer, they mult allow ’em more pay. They
leidom venture out above 20 or 25 leagues at Sea, which is no great hazard of
the Vefiel. But fometimes the Ponuguefes fnap them, and then they either hang
cm up prefently, or throw 7 em over-board. Thefe Afalavares caxvy fometimes
200, fometimes 250 men, and they fail together in Squadrons often or fifteen
Barques to attack a great VefTel, not caring a rulh for the great Guns. They come
board and board fo fuddenly, and caft fuch a quantify of Pots of Artificial Fire
upon the deck, that if thefe be not fpeedy remedy appli’d, they will prefently do
a world of mifchief. Generally our Seamen, knowing the cuifom of thefe Pirats,
when they come within ken, prefently Ihut up the Scuttles, and fill the deck with
water, to hinder the Fire-Pots from doing execution.
An EM Captain, whofe name was Mr. Clark, coming from Bantam to Su-
not far from Cochin, met a Squadron of thefe Malavares, conlifting of 25 or 30
