 arrived at Genoa; having seen in the way, Toulon, Nice, Antibo, Monaco, Savona, and so to Genua.

Thus I passed, though tediously, yet securely from France into Italy by Sea: and I could almost wish my Traveller to take the same Course, if he were sure to finde two Gallies well manned, as I did, to carry him thither. Otherwise to venture himself (as men ordinarily with extraordinary danger do) in a little Feluca, a boat little bigger then a pair of Oares, is a thing I would wish none to do, but Pyrronians, and Indifferents who think danger and security to be the same thing. For my part, though I dare not say with that cowardly Italian, who being laughed at for his running away in a battle, answered; I was not affraid, but onely had a minde to try how long a mans skin well kept would last: yet I dare say with generous Cato, that I repent me soundly, if ever I went by water, when I could have gone by Land.
