All these fatigues ended at last, and I came safe to Bagdad. I went
immediately to wait upon the caliph, and gave him an account of my
embassy. That prince told me he had been uneasy, by reason that I
was so long in returning, but that he always hoped God would
preserve me. When I told him the adventure of the elephants, he
seemed to be much surprised at it, and would never have given any
credit to it had he not known my sincerity. He reckoned this story,
and the other narratives I had given him, to be so curious that he
ordered one of his secretaries to write them in characters of gold,
and lay them up in his treasury. I retired very well satisfied with
the honours I received and the presents which he gave me; and after
that I gave myself up wholly to my, family, kindred and friends.
