Travels in the Mogul Empire (Constable) 9.3.2

### [9.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3.2)

To prevent robberies every Omrah provides watchmen, who continually perambulate his particular quarters during the night, crying out Kaber-dar! or, Have a care! and there are guards posted round the whole army at every five hundred paces, who kindle fires, and also cry out Kaber-dar! Besides these precautions, the Cotoual, or Grand Provost, sends soldiers in every direction, who especially pervade the bazars, crying out and sounding a trumpet. Notwithstanding all these measures, robberies are often committed, and it is prudent to be always on the alert; not to rely too much on the vigilance of servants; and to repose at an early hour, so as to watch during the remainder of the night. I will now proceed to describe the different modes of travelling adopted by the Great Mogol on these occasions.
