[10] It should be remembered that with most of our early writers and navigators “Moor” was a generic name for Muhammedan. The governor of Calicut is called by the Portuguese “Zamorin,” a corruption, probably, of “Samudri-Rajah.” [11] Correa, p. 156. [12] Correa, p. 176. [13] Correa, p. 222. [14] Correa, p. 225, _et seq._ [15] Ibid., p. 232. [16] Correa, p. 239. The termination of the name (like Laccadive, Maldive, &c.) shows it to have been an island, but its exact situation has not been determined. [17] Correa, p. 259. [18] Sargarço (or as it is more usually written Sargaço) is the Portuguese name for what is known (botanically) as the “Nasturtium aquaticum.”—Linschoten, Hist. Orient., pt. iii. p. 34. [19] Correa, pp. 264-5. [20] Correa, p. 269. [21] A cruzado is worth about 2s.; a quintal equivalent to 128 lbs. [22] Cabral was originally selected to command this expedition; but the king, having some doubts of his ability, though on his previous voyage to India in 1500-1 he had discovered the Brazils, gladly availed himself of De Gama’s expressed desire to take charge of it; another fleet was to be despatched in the following year (Correa, p. 279). There were two grievances against the king of Calicut, the original one of De Gama, and his subsequently similar treatment of Cabral. [23] Correa, p. 282. [24] Ibid. p. 283. [25] Correa, p. 292. [26] Correa, p. 294. [27] Correa, pp. 295-6. [28] Correa, p. 303. [29] Ibid., p. 306. [30] The names “Baticala” and “Cochym” have been retained as those used by Correa; the more modern names are “Batticola” and “Cochin.” [31] Correa, p. 311. [32] “Degenerate trade, whose minions could despise The heart-born anguish of a thousand cries; Could lock with impious hands its teaming stores, Whilst famished nations died along its shores; Could mock the groans of fellow men, and bear The curse of kingdoms peopled with despair; Could stamp disgrace on man’s polluted name, And barter with their gold eternal shame.”—CAMPBELL.
