D. João had now set sail with the small vessels, and Timoja with his watch-boats, as I have already stated, and as the great Afonso Dalboquerque found himself every day insulted by the captains and the men with requisitions that he would get away from Goa, although it was not a proper season of the year to go to Cananor, nor to Cochim, nor was the bar sufficiently deep in water to enable them to force a way through, he decided, in order to arrive at a definite understanding with them all, and also in order to demonstrate to them that what they desired could not possibly be carried out, to give them an opportunity to have their own way. And consequently in five or six days’ time—this would be about the twenty-first of July—he ordered the whole fleet to set sail, and proceeded to the bar, where they found D. João de Lima and Timoja still at anchor, because the weather was as yet not of that kind that they could get over the bar.
