Description

About the Book:-The author has made an elaborate attempt to unravel the truth behind the life of John Jourdain voyage prior to his taking service with the East India Company. He sailed for the East in the good ship Ascension, and it was not until the summer of 1617 that he once more set foot on English soil. During the nine intervening years he had travelled many thousands of miles, had visited several places previously unknown to his fellow countrymen, and had had many exciting adventures, both by sea and by land, with more than one narrow escape from a violent death. Of these experiences he kept a careful diary, commenced, no doubt, in obedience to the instructions given by the East India Company to all their servants, and as a repository of information that he might find useful on some future occasion. The book is the product of extensive study of Jourdain voyage. The subject of the book is good and interesting to generate a good amount of interest among the readers.
