employe*! in painting the church. The others, finding that the viceroy would
not tl.ftcluir.re their sureties, left secretly, or, as Fitch expresses it, "ran from
thence," April, 1585, and, passing to Golconda, travelled north to Agra,
tlien the capital of the Great Mogul. Here Leeds, the jeweller, entered
into the .Mogul's service, who gave him " a house, five slaves, and every d.-iy
six S S. [qu. sequins ?] in money." Newbury went from Agra to Lahore,
expecting to go thence to Persia, and, by way of Aleppo and Constantinople, to
reach England ; and lie sent Fitch meanwhile to Bengal and Pegu, promising
to me^t him in Bengal in two years in a ship from England. Fitch passed on
to Benares, and thence to Bengal, and, Nov. 28, 158(1, sailed for Pegu, whence
the next year he proceeded to Malacca. Returning again, in 1588, to 1'i'gu,
he went thence to Bengal in the following November ; whence, in February,
1580, he took shipping for Cochin, touching nt Ceylon on the way, a "brave
island," where he spent five days. At Cochin he stayed eight months before
he could get a passage to Goa. From Goa he proceeded to Orinus, whence,
by way of Basora, Mosul and Aleppo, he reached England April '2'.*, 15'Jl.
Linschoten, mentioned above, who had arrived at Goa in 1583, from Lis-
bon, ns one of the archbishop's suite, returned to Holland in 158.1, where he
published his travels in If Ho, the first Dutch account of the East. From
him we learn that Story, the painter, after the departure of his companions,
grew sick of the cloister of St. Paul, and, as he had not yet taken the vows,
left and set up as a painter in Goa, where he had abundant employment, ami,
" in the end, married a mestizo's daughter of the town, so tlmt he made his
account to stay there while he lived," the first permanent English resi-
dent in Hindostan.
There is in thcJliialic Journal, for Dec. 1838, a very striking description
of the present ruinous state of the once splendid and magnificent city of Goa.
It has been abandoned for Pongi, now known as New Goa, six miles nearer
the sea, and the present seat of the shrunken Portuguese viceroyalty. The
only inhabitants of Old Goa are a few hundred monks, nuns and their
attend tuts, attached to the splendid churches and monasteries still standing,
among which towers conspicuous the church of the Jesuits, in a beautiful
chapel attach H! to which is the monument of St. Francis Xavier. His
body, removed thither from the college of St. Paul, in which it was first
placed, reposes upon a sarcophagus or bier of Italian marble, faced with
bronzes, repressing his missionary labors, and enclosed in a shrine of
brass and silver. It is alleged still to be in as good preservation as ever,
ami is occasions! ly exhibited in public. The lost of these exhibitions was in
1783.
