g 4 DEPARTURE FROM BOMBAY.
possible to decide ; but it is most certain, that the entablature with its
frieze, cornice, and architrave, the column with its shaft and capital,
and the base with its plinth and tores, are as strongly delineated here,
although in the rudest and most inelegant style, as in the monuments
of Greece and Italy.
On the 30th of January, 1811, after a repetition of the same honours
that took place on our landing, the Ambassadors again embarked in the
Lion, and proceeded to the Persian Gulf. In addition to oui original
party from England, we were accompanied by Lieut. Geoige W illock
and thirty privates of Indian cavalry, forming a body guard for oui
Ambassador, and by Mr. Sharpe, Assistant Surgeon; by twenty-foui
palanquin bearers, and a detachment of English serjeants, &c. from
the 47th regiment, to discipline the Persian infantry; and a ship be
longing to a Persian merchant resident at Bombay, was chartered to
take military stores.
On the 8th of February we saw Cape Monze.* At the sight of this
land we congratulated the Persian Ambassador upon seeing his native
soil once again; for although Fatteh Ali Shah has no more control over
the territories of Sind and Mekran than he has over China, yet the
Persians do not cease to call them a part of their country. In 1739
indeed, the Indus was the limit of Persia, and consequently Cape
Monze was included in its territory, but such limits only lasted as long
as the power of Nadir Shah lasted, and since then they have retired to
the boundaries of the province of Kirman, which on the sea coast ter
minate at Cape Jasques. According to Arrian the river Arabis, which
flows behind Cape Monze, formed the limits of India in the time of
Alexander; but in the present wild state of this part of Asia, it
would be difficult to establish any specific boundary. Even on the
* Allowing Diu Head in the Guzerat to be on the meridian of 71° 6' E. according to
Horsburg and Mac Cluer, it will make Cape Monze to be in 67° !'• But by our observa
tions, when the Cape bore N. i E. taken from the mean of three time-keepers regulated by
the meridian of Bombay,and differing only 4" or one mile from each other, we found the
longitude of Cape Monze to be 66° 45' 65" E., whilst in the approved Admiralty Chart,
by which the ship was worked, it is 66° 15' E.
