Es wäre unklug gewesen, bei der Wahrheit zu bleiben: Versicherungsschutz zu erlangen wäre schwieriger und Piraterie und Plünderung wahrscheinlicher geworden, denn es war nicht nur die teuerste Fracht, die Bahram je verschifft hatte, sondern möglicherweise sogar die wertvollste Ladung, die jemals per Schiff den indischen Subkontinent verlassen hatte.
To let the facts be widely known would have been imprudent on many counts, making insurance more difficult to obtain and increasing the risks of piracy and pilferage – for this shipment was not merely the most expensive cargo that Bahram had ever shipped; it was possibly the single most valuable cargo that had ever been carried out of the Indian subcontinent.
