Travelers from history and their famous sea voyages

NOTE 6.–A letter of Warren Hastings, written shortly before his death,
and after reading Marsden”s Marco Polo, tells how a fish-breeder of
Banbury warned him against putting pike into his fish-pond, saying, ‘If
you should leave them where they are _till Shrove Tuesday_ they will be
sure to spawn, and then you will never get any other fish to breed in it.’
(_Romance of Travel_, I. 255.) Edward Webbe in his Travels (1590,
reprinted 1868) tells us that in the ‘Land of Siria there is a River
having great store of fish like unto Salmon-trouts, but no Jew can catch
them, though either Christian and Turk shall catch them in abundance with
great ease.’ The circumstance of fish being got only for a limited time in
spring is noticed with reference to Lake Van both by Tavernier and Mr.
Brant.
