Joined with them was the doctor of the Honourable Company, called Doctor Botler (Bulkley). The four above-mentioned gentlemen were mounted on handsome Arabian and Persian horses, while the doctor and I were in palanquins. During the march there went in front one hundred halberdiers, men of the country ; behind them were carried two flags, and after these marched sixty-two European soldiers, commanded by a sergeant. We went on and found Dā,ūd Khān in a large tent erected on the sea-shore, and fitted with carpets. He was seated on a small bedstead and clothed in simple raiment. On our entering the tent he rose and embraced us all, then made us sit near him. He displayed much urbanity, and was most courteous. After exchanging compliments, we passed an hour and a half in conversation with him. He professed himself a warm friend of the governor, praising his good administration. - [Previous: 340.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3.5) - [Next: 340.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3.7) - [Up: 340.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3.6) · Pramāṇa
