Fifteen miles farther lies Gangiu, still in the realm of Concha, and Digitized by VjOOQlC 142 VOYAGES AND TBAVELS here the Khan keeps an army in readiness for a guard of the country. Through this city passes a river a mile broad, fairly built on both sides, and abounding with ships carrying sugar and other lading. This river disembogues from hence five days' journey south- east at Zaitum, a seaport, from which the rich ships of India come to this pleasant city, as is all the country betwixt, in... which are trees and shrubs of* camphire.
Zaitum is a famous port, where all the ships arrive with merchandise, thence dispersed through all India.
There is here such a quantity of pepper, that what comes by Alexandria to the west is little to it, and, as it were, one of a hundred. The concourse of merchants is incredible, it being one of the most commodious ports in the world, exceeding profitable to the £[han, who receives custom at the rate of ten in the hundred of all merchandise. They pay .so much for hire of ships also, that there is not above ode half of their merchandise remaining entire to themselves, and yet that moiety yields vast profit to them.
