315 after closed liis checkered career among the pine forests aud marshes of the north. His unfortunate Mongul followers, on being deserted by their prince, had accompanied the rest of the army in its retreat to Lithuania ; and, too few to attempt to penetrate through the intermediate hostile states to their own native steppes, they wandered about as vagrants and outlaws, supporting themselves by hunting in the forests, till Vitold granted them permission to settle on the waste lands in Lithuan...ia, where they founded a colony ; and their officers and mirzas were enrolled among the Polish nobility, adopt- ing Polish coats-of-arms and crests. There, the descendants of these fugitives still adhere to the creed of the Koran, and in Grodno, Minsk, Vilna, and several other towns, erected mosques, where they still worship the prophet ; and, repaying their adopted country for the protection she affijrded them by an unshaken fidelity to her interests, have ably supported her in all her troubles and wars, even those against their co- religionists the Turks ; and aU classes of this community are proverbial among the natives of Poland for their peaceful industry, integrity, and honesty, in every branch or trans- action of life.* Immediately after the defeat of Toktaraish, and while Timur was engaged in a distant Indian campaign, the khan of Kipzak renounced his allegiance to the throne of Samar- cand, and attempted to drive from the country the Zagatai generals who had so successfully assisted him in the war.
