being sent in to him, also " fresh Victualls soe that wee
wanted nothing but libertie1." As soon as he was esta-
blished in the Lazaretto, Pindar received a visit from the
Venetian governor of Spalato, " th' one sittinge without
the gate, and thother within, a good way a sunder1."
Two days later the Governor paid another visit, when
Pindar obtained the release of John Clarke, one of his
servants. After being disinfected, Clarke "was licensed1"
and proceeded to Venice to prepare for the reception of his
master. Instead of the usual " forty, thirty, twenty, fifteen"
days' detention in quarantine, Pindar and his followers had
"Prattick" on the tenth day, "but herein his Lordshipp
was greatly favoured2."
While Mr Lane was making arrangements for trans-
porting the party to Venice, Pindar, " with the Gentlemen3,"
dined at the Governor's house. Meanwhile, Mundy had a
cursory glance at the town of Spalato, which he found
" strongly built, furnished with many soldiers and many
brave, stout edifices, although auntient:!."
On the night of the 29th June, being furnished with
their certificate of health, the party set out in a " barke of
Tenn Tonnes," together with the " Frenchmen," who had
" hired another for themselves3." Skirting the Dalmatian
coast, the boats passed the garrison town of Zara, where
Sir Henry Peyton's detachment of soldiers, sent for the
assistance of the Venetian Republic, was then stationed.
The wind was favourable, and the ships made good pro-
gress, " alwaies among small Islands, verie stoney and barren
as the Mayne seemed to bee3." On the 1st July they passed
through the narrow Canal d'Ossero, between Cherso and
Lussin. Sailing across the Gulf of Quarnero to the Punta
di Promontore on the 2nd July, the vessels steered through
the Canale di Fasana between the island of Brioni and "the
Mayne," where Mundy noted the " prettie harbour4" of
Pola, then an insignificant town. Owing to the presence of
