Summary

How Pero Dalboquerque, seeing that the King of Ormuz would not give him the fortress, nor a site for building another, sent to beg for a house wherein he could discharge his cargo; and then sailed away to explore the straits of the Persian Sea.

Pero Dalboquerque being now well aware of the delays which the king was practising, and finding that he had already been there for some days without achieving any result, sent word to him by Tristão Déga, that as it was his intention, in concert with his Governors, not to surrender the fortress which the great Afonso Dalboquerque had begun, nor grant any other of those sites which he had pointed out for the building of another, he must then, at least, order that some house should be given, in which he could discharge the cargo of his ships, so that the sale of the merchandize could be commenced. The king, demonstrating great pleasure at this new point of the business, ordered that the same house should be given to the Portuguese in which the factory of the King of Portugal had formerly been established, on the occasion of Afonso Dalboquerque's first visit to Ormuz, and in it were found still remaining certain things which there had not then been an opportunity of removing, and these were, at the orders of Rexnordim, delivered to Tristão Déga and João Teixeira.

When the houses had been handed over to the Portuguese, the disembarking of the cargo was immediately proceeded with.
