On going to Malacca after this great victory, he entreated to be allowed to walk barefooted and unaccompanied to church, that he might humbly prostrate himself before the Lord of Hosts, in acknowledgement that the victory was entirely due to God, and not to the Portuguese valour; but he was constrained to enter the city in triumph. The streets were crowded with men, and the windows and house tops thronged with women, who sprinkled the hero with sweet waters and strewed flowers in his path. The music could not be heard for the noise of cannon, and all the city was filled with extreme joy. At this time an embassy came from the king of _Pera_, who was tributary to the king of _Acheen_, offering to pay tribute to the king of Portugal, and to deliver up a large treasure left in his custody belonging to the king of Acheen and his general _Lacsamana_. Don Jerome de Silveyra was sent with eleven ships to receive the treasure, and establish a treaty with the king of _Pera_, who performed his promise, and the treasure was applied to pay the men and refit the fleet. About the middle of January 1630, Botello being off the straits of Cincapura to secure the ships expected from China against the Hollanders, _Lacsamana_ and two other officers who had fled to the woods were brought prisoners to him, having been taken by the king of Pam. Owing to contrary winds, he was unable to get up with five Dutch ships that were about _Pulo Laer_, and which took a Portuguese galliot coming from China. He returned therefore to Malacca to refit his ships, and resolved to attempt the Dutch fort of _Jacatara_[20], the best which was possessed by _these rebels_ in all Asia. In the first place, he sent Antonio de Sousa Coutinno in the admiral galley lately belonging to _Lacsamana_ called the _Terror of the World_, in which Lacsamana was now prisoner, to Goa; directing that Lacsamana should be sent to Portugal, and that this large and magnificent galley should be given as a present to the city of Goa. In this galley there was one cannon made of _tombac_, a precious sort of metal, which was valued at above 7000 ducats, and another cannon reckoned still more valuable on account of its curious workmanship. Lacsamana died before he could be carried to Portugal.
