In order to keep the seas clear of pirates between Surat and the gulf of
Arabia and Persia, the mogul had been at the annual expense of a large
ship, fitted out on purpose to carry the pilgrims to Judda, which is
within a small distance of Mecca. For the security of this ship, as
well as to protect the trade of Surat, he granted to his admiral, _the
fiddee_, chief of a colony of caffrees, or blacks, a revenue called
the tanka, to the value of three lacks of rupees, amounting to above
thirty-seven thousand pounds, arising partly from the adjacent lands,
and partly from the revenues of Surat, which were paid him yearly by the
governor of the castle, who is appointed by the mogul to keep the
city under proper subjection, without, however, interfering with the

British forces are; and shall be subject to the same trial, penalties,
and punishment."]
