The captain-major hurried on the preparation of what was necessary in Mozambique, and left there as factor Gonzalo Baixo, with ten men for his service, and goods for buying stuffs for Sofala, and [orders] to go there and barter them, or to send them thither by Joan Serrano in the new caravel, which had been built there; which he left there for that purpose with twenty men and four bombardiers,and mariners, in all thirty men, and two heavy pieces and some small artillery, with all the rest that was requisite. He left him a minute of all that he was to do if Pero Affonso had established the trade, and if not they were all to follow after him. For which reason, Pero Affonso, on his arrival, gave an account of the good trade which had been established, and of what he had brought for the captain-major, with the messenger of the King of Sofala, whom he left there, and then set sail to follow the captain-major. D. Vasco da Gama departed from Mozambique running along the coast, and being fully mindful of the treachery which the King of Quiloa had prepared against him, which the King of Melinde in his letters to the King of Portugal and to D. Vasco always recalled to mind, and desirous of increasing the King's service, he decided on going to Quiloa and on making its king a tributary.
