As the fleet was on its way to Cananor, before reaching Mount Dely, a gust of wind struck it, which sprung the mainmast of the ship Leitoa Esmeralda, in which Pero Afonzo d'Aguiar sailed; and the lances which were in the top fell upon the deck, and killed four men, and wounded several, and there was one who was transfixed with eight lances. On account of this, the captain-major anchored in the bay of Marabia, because he saw there several Moorish ships, in order to get a mast from them. He sent on shore to search for one, and at once the Moors gave him one such as was fitting, and the captain-major ordered its owner to be well paid for it, so that the ship was well remasted with the labour of many workmen in a few days. Whilst they were at this work, one day at dawn there came a large ship of Calecut which came from Mekkah with much wealth, and it fell in with the caravels, which were on the watch out at sea. In this ship came the owner, who was the chief merchant and the richest in Calecut, and the ship was coming from the offing to make Mount Dely. The caravels went to it, and made it come and anchor close to the captain-major, who, on learning that it was from Calecut, ordered the men to go and pillage it.
