*_Nicolau Coelho_, Captain of the _Berrio_ or _S. Miguel_. He subsequently went out to India with Cabral (1500), and for a third time with Francisco d’Albuquerque, in 1503. On February 24, 1500, the King granted him a pension of 70,000 reis. He also received a coat-of-arms, viz.: a field _gules_, charged with a lion rampant between two pillars (_padrãos_), _silver_, standing upon hillocks by the sea _vert_; and two small escutcheons charged with five _bezants_ (Severim de Faria, _Noticias de Portugal_, Disc. 3, § 15). He seems to have been dead in 1522, for on December 19 of that year, his son, Francisco, begged the King to transfer the pension of his late father to himself.—(Cunha Rivara, _Arch. Port. Oriental_, fasc. v, p. 254; and Texeira de Aragão, _Boletim_, 1886, p. 573.) _Gonçalo Nunes_, Captain of the store-ship (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 279; Castanheda, I, p. 7). Castanheda, 1st edition, erroneously calls him Gonçalo Gomez. He was a retainer of Vasco da Gama. PILOTS AND MASTERS. *_Pero d’Alenquer_, pilot of the _S. Gabriel_ (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 279; Castanheda, I, p. 7; Goes, I, 69; Faria y Sousa, p. 29). He had been with Dias in the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, and with the Congo mission in 1490. *_João de Coimbra_, pilot of the _S. Raphael_ (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 279). A negro slave belonging to him deserted at Moçambique (see p. 30). _Pero Escolar_, pilot of the _Berrio_ (Barros, _ib._; Faria y Sousa, p. 29). On February 18, 1500, the King granted him a pension of 4,000 reis. He went as pilot with Cabral. _Gonçalo Alvares_, master of the _S. Gabriel_ (Barros, _ib._). He subsequently held the office of pilot-major of India (Correa, _Lendas_, I, p. 570). On January 26, 1504, the King granted him a pension of 6,000 reis (Texeira de Aragão, _Boletim_, 1886, p. 674). _André Gonçalves._ According to Correa (_Lendas_, I, p. 148), he had been with Vasco da Gama, whose interest had procured him an appointment in Cabral’s fleet. The same untrustworthy author states (p. 152) that Cabral sent him back from Brazil with the news of his discovery, and that the King, immediately after his arrival, fitted out a fleet to continue the explorations in the New World. Barros (I, pt. 1, p. 384) and Castanheda (I, p. 97) state that Cabral sent back Gaspar de Lemos. Neither they, nor, as far as I am aware, any other authority, mention an André Gonçalves in connection with Gama’s or Cabral’s expeditions. PURSERS OR CLERKS. *_Diogo Dias_, clerk of the _S. Gabriel_ (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 279; Castanheda, I, pp. 54, 80; Goes, I, p. 90; Faria y Sousa, I, p. 29). He was a brother of Bartholomeu Dias, the discoverer of the Cape of Good Hope. _João de Sá_, clerk of the _S. Raphael_ (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 370; Castanheda, Goes, Faria y Sousa). He again went to India with Cabral (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 403), and subsequently became treasurer of the India House (Castanheda, I, p. 54).
