Turkey cannot dispense with the coffee, which she receives from Yemen, or Arabia Felix; and the productions of the Indies are equally necessary to Turkey, Yemen, and Persia. Thus it happens that these countries are under the necessity of sending a portion of their gold and silver to Moka, on the Red Sea, near Babel-mandel; to Bassora, at the top of the Persian Gulf; and to Bander Abassi or Gomeron, near Ormus ; which gold and silver is exported to Hindoustan by the vessels that arrive every year, in the matisem, or the season of the winds, at those three celebrated ports, laden with goods from that country. - [Previous: 4.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.1.3) - [Next: 4.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.1.5) - [Up: 4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.1.4) · Pramāṇa
