Summary
Whilst the captain-major was setting sail for Cochym, and Vicente Sodré was already under sail, there arrived with great haste an Indian boat with a letter from the King of Cananor, in which he complained to him that a great Moor had laden in his ports with other Moors eight ships, with which they had gone away without paying him much money which they owed of the duties, and to the owners of the goods, with many other offences which they had committed in the country, of robbery and violence, the Moor saying that he was afraid of nobody; and he had gone out of the port from which he had taken his three ships. The captainmajor, on seeing the letter, without delay sent the Indian boat after Vicente Sodré, who was still in sight, and in it he sent one of his men to tell Vicente Sodré not to delay, and to attend to this. The Indian boat, with sail and oars, overhauled Vicente Sodré, and gave him the message. He on the next day with the sea-breeze reached Cananor, the Moor being in the offing with his ships in order to depart at night with the land breeze. Vicente Sodré sent by the Indian boat to tell the King that he was there, and the Moor also with his ships, and that if he ordered it, he would there at once send them to the bottom or burn them, and that His Highness should order what he was to do.
