In this interval the poor Chinese came in who had lost the camel,but he had no weapon however, seeing the Tartar down, and hishorse fallen upon him, away he runs to him, and seizing upon anugly weapon he had by his side, something like a poleaxe, hewrenched it from him, and made shift to knock his Tartarian brainsout with it.But my old man had the third Tartar to deal withstill and seeing he did not fly, as he expected, nor come on tofight him, as he apprehended, but stood stock still, the old manstood still too, and fell to work with his tackle to charge hispistol again:but as soon as the Tartar saw the pistol away hescoured, and left my pilot, my champion I called him afterwards, acomplete victory. We made no great gain, however, by this victory, for we lost acamel and gained a horse.I paid for the lost camel, and sent foranother but I did not go to fetch it myself:I had had enough ofthat.

This was very bad news to travellers:however, it was carefullydone of the governor, and we were very glad to hear we should havea guard.Accordingly, two days after, we had two hundred soldierssent us from a garrison of the Chinese on our left, and threehundred more from the city of Naum, and with these we advancedboldly.The three hundred soldiers from Naum marched in our front,the two hundred in our rear, and our men on each side of ourcamels, with our baggage and the whole caravan in the centre inthis order, and well prepared for battle, we thought ourselves amatch for the whole ten thousand Mogul Tartars, if they hadappeared but the next day, when they did appear, it was quiteanother thing.īy this time I was a little recovered.I thought, when I firstbegan to wake, that I had been in a sweet sleep but, as I saidabove, I wondered where I was, how I came upon the ground, and whatwas the matter.A few moments after, as sense returned, I feltpain, though I did not know where so I clapped my hand to my head,and took it away bloody then I felt my head ache:and in a momentmemory returned, and everything was present to me again.I jumpedupon my feet instantly, and got hold of my sword, but no enemieswere in view:I found a Tartar lying dead, and his horse standingvery quietly by him and, looking further, I saw my deliverer, whohad been to see what the Chinese had done, coming back with hishanger in his hand.The old man, seeing me on my feet, camerunning to me, and joyfully embraced me, being afraid before that Ihad been killed.Seeing me bloody, he would see how I was hurt but it was not much, only what we call a broken head neither did Iafterwards find any great inconvenience from the blow, for it waswell again in two or three days.

The city of Naum, which we were approaching, is a frontier of theChinese empire, and is fortified in their fashion.We wanted, as Ihave said, above two days' journey of this city when messengerswere sent express to every part of the road to tell all travellersand caravans to halt till they had a guard sent for them for thatan unusual body of Tartars, making ten thousand in all, hadappeared in the way, about thirty miles beyond the city.
