We passed by several islands, and, among others, that called the Isle of Bells, about ten days’ sail from Serendib with a regular wind, and six from that of Kela, where we landed. Lead mines are found in the island; also Indian canes and excellent camphire. I henceforth give you your liberty; I will also give you riches.”. Create a library and add your favorite stories. The king and all his court, with the most considerable persons in the city, sought to soften my sorrow by honoring the funeral ceremony with their presence; and, at the termination of the ceremony, I was lowered into the pit, with a vessel full of water and seven loaves. When the ship was ready I went on board with my goods; but not having enough to load her, I agreed to take with me several merchants of different nations, with their merchandise. When I gazed toward the sea I could see nothing but sky and water; but looking over the land I beheld something white; and coming down, I took what provision I had left, and went toward it, the distance being so great that I could not distinguish what it was. There is also a pearl-fishery in the mouth of its principal river; and in some of its valleys are found diamonds. After the juice is thus drawn out the tree withers and dies. He went to the end of the valley and saw something strange. I upbraided myself a hundred times for not being content with the produce of my first voyage, that might have sufficed me all my life. The negroes presented me to their king; I approached his throne, and saluted him as I used to do the kings of the Indies; that is to say, I prostrated myself at his feet.
