Summary
How Pero Dalboquerque again endeavoured to compel the king to pay the tribute, and what passed upon this matter with him; and how he set sail for India and arrived at Goa.
Pero Dalboquerque became so angry at this reply of the king, that he immediately sent Tristão Déga back again to tell him that as he had requited him so badly for the service which he had rendered him in procuring the restitution of his terradas, he might rest assured that he did not intend to go out of the harbour without first of all being paid all the debts which were due to him. Tristão Déga delivered this message to the king, and then, without waiting for any further reply, returned to the ships. The king and his Governors, seeing the determination of Pero Dalboquerque, and fearing that if he remained in this humour he might perhaps set fire to some seventy merchant vessels in the port, which were on the point of setting out for the straits (but having received intelligence that he was cruising about with his fleet at ne Cape of Guardafum, they had put in at Ormuz), unanimously agreed, that in order to remedy this state of affairs, they ought to use their best endeavours to pay all they could of the tribute that was due. So the king sent word immediately by Hacem Ale, that as he would not take cognisance of his necessity, nor wait for the return of the ambassador sent to Portugal for a reply, he would there fore seek for a loan of some money so as to pay him, but this would be all he could do.
