From which many die.

of the Viceroy, because he had been to Rhodes with him and had acquired knowledge of a galley, intending to be captain of a galley in India for which he had the timber on the ship, the people refused to obey him as soon as they saw the ship was lost. They divided themselves into two groups, one under Sanchez in the bark, and the other by land to reach elsewhere. Of the 60 who traveled along the shore, most died from hunger, hardship, and the dangers they encountered everywhere. The remaining 20 were delivered to da Nhaya by the King of Sofala, more out of fear than goodwill, for he thought he had accomplished something of great use to himself. He had already heard of the destruction of Quiloa and Mombasa, and therefore he dared not harm these people, knowing furthermore of the arrival of a fleet at that place. As the Portuguese could tell from the others who had gone with Sanchez in the bark, it was not known whether he had crossed over, but they believed he had long been swallowed by the sea due to his vessel's small size.

da Nhaya sails with some boats to the dwellings of the Negroes

When Pedro da Nhaya had received these 5 Portuguese and ordered the transport of his brother's ship, he left his own, this one, and that of d'Almada at anchor there. He sailed with the boats—the small ships of his son and of Queiros, now given to Pedro Teixeira—to the front of the dwelling-place of the Moors, as he could not go further due to the narrowness of the river, which was still overgrown with trees on both sides. The principal inhabitants immediately rushed to inspect them and to ask on behalf of the King what they desired, although they had already heard the reason for their arrival from the prisoners, from whom they had concealed the coming of the fleet.
