Malta has excellent oysters. I saw here a special genus of them, whose shells are covered with needles: these oysters are called armed. There is a lot of fish of all kinds, and they are very tasty, just like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea in general. To catch it, they mostly use ner1Ota, which is cleanly and skillfully woven from reeds. A special kind of industry, in the cities of Malta, is the making of various Figures from soft natural stone, especially vases, in imitation of the ancient ones, found in Herculane5 and Pompeb. The carving on them is thin, the figures are always correct, and are in no way inferior to the originals. here you can get all this for a cheap price, because the work is done quickly and easily, due to the softness of the stone. Among the items, gold chains and other things similar to antiques are also interesting. They do not dare sell them except under the hallmark of the assayer, which is also very convenient for the buyer. I went to the old capital: it is the real city of Malta, which the Arabians called Medina. It is inside the island, not large, but very ancient. Its streets are so narrow that even a small cart can hardly pass through. Here is the magnificent and extensive Cathedral of St. Paul the Apostle, built in a new style. Behind the throne you can see one of the best paintings by Mates Preti, or Calabrese: it represents the Apostle, bitten by a snake, after his shipwreck on the shores of Malta. Near the cathedral you can still see the house in which the heroes, the Ushaditsa from Rhodes, found a refuge when Charles gave them Malta; the current capital, the city of Lavalette, did not yet exist. In which there is a cave, where, according to legend, the Apostle Paul, after being shipwrecked, took refuge, and the snake stung him, without any harm to him. This Cheshchera, which I entered, is divided into three by iron bars; in the very back part there is a throne and a sculpture of St. Paul from blogo marble; in the second part, which should be considered the real church, there is a thing, truly a genus. miracle: this is a living stone, constantly growing and producing the genus of the earth, so well known and glorified for curing fever; it is called the land of Malta. According to the way it is separated from the stone (which is three feet and a half in height and a fathom in circumference), for distribution to those who are dying and even to the curious, it is renewed by itself. This is a genus of magnesium, which, due to its properties (abzogfatie), should really help in many diseases that require the resolution of phlegm. - In the third compartment of the cave, people stand during worship.
Near the island of Malta there is another island that belongs to it: this is Godzo. I fucked him. There you can still see the dungeons in which the Kareagenans, or Finyuyts, their first settlers, lived. Inspecting the dungeons, I found that they were inconvenient for living, because they were narrow and very low. There are also DVB fortresses on the island; The commandant lives in one of them. There is a lot of land on Gozo, and the greenery everywhere is pleasing to the eye. Cotton paper is located in the stone rock of B, which makes up a special island. Here Ra will be born in abundance a glorious mushroom called Eipsis Meshep 5:5. No one is allowed to tear it down because it constitutes government income. The mushrooms are dried, then crushed into powder, and transported in this form not only throughout Italy, but throughout Europe, as the most important remedy for curing bloody DIARRHEA.
Ketati to say a word or two about the trade in goods, which was previously carried out by merchants in Malta Katanskla, for a thousand Dutch chervonets per year. The sharing of two islands served as a convenience for this; and who would have imagined that this industry would be taken away from the Katantsev Sfvero-Americans But this is the truth. I myself saw the American ships coming here, and the only cargo they carried was ice and saffron. The Americans have invented a means of preserving their goods through straw and salt, and are making a significant profit. In Malta, as in Naples, ice cream and ice water are the first delicacy and treasure in life.
The poorest people do not deny themselves this, and as soon as a ship with ice appears, its goods are immediately sold out.
