In the course of these contests, as there were not many troops in the island, there was reason to fear that Sambha Ji might land his soldiers there. The viceroy therefore sought someone who would go to the Mogul fleet, then off Vingorla, to request the admiral to sail with his ships till he was within sight of Goa. Thus some fear would be instilled into Sambha Ji's men then in Salsette and Bardes. But the principal thing was to get some one who would consent to go. For all they could do, they could not find any person willing to take upon himself to risk his life for the public benefit. Then, knowing the heartiness with which I had laboured to the utmost of my power, he asked me if I would perform this benefit on behalf of a city which found itself in such a sorry plight. - [Previous: 181.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.181.6) - [Next: 181.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.181.8) - [Up: 181](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.181) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.181.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.181.7) · Pramāṇa
