On the following day, which was the twenty-second day of the month of September, in the evening, the great Afonso Dalboquerque set out for Cochim, and took with him Gonçalo de Sequeira with all his ships, and those which remained of the Marshal's fleet to take in their lading and to set forth for Portugal, and the two galleys, and the ship lately taken from the Eumes, and disposed all the other fleet in a line along the coast to prevent any ship from entering into Goa, whether it should come from the Straits or from any other part, with supplies.

And he reached Cochim on the twenty-sixth of the said month, and immediately went on shore to visit the King, who was already in expectation of his arrival, with all the Caimais of his court, and with many other persons, and so they all went to the fortress, and there the captain had prepared for him a house well furnished, where they sat down. And after the King had given him great thanks for that kindness and honour which he had shown him in coming at his request, he proceeded to relate all his troubles, and that the Brahinans told him, now that his uncle was dead, he would be obliged to place himself in the grave, for this was their ancient custom.
