from Portugal.
Affonso d’Albuquerque said at the end what he determined to do.
(N.B. Albuquerque said at the end of these opinions that he was
determined to sail on the following day, the eleventh of October, with
the captains who wished to accompany him. Therefore, _we are at the
twelfth of October_, means that that day was close at hand, and not
that the council was held on that day.)
Gaspar Correa says, tome II, p. 138:
“When this was thus ended, the governor told all the captains that
he was going immediately, and that he would sail from Cananor with
all the ships and men that he could take, and go and take Goa, as
he trusted in the Lord’s Passion that He would assist him; and he
gave them notice that so he would act, and not occupy himself with
anything else: and he gave them all this notice, because he trusted
in the Lord, that he should be able to send news to the king in
these ships, that he was taking his rest inside the city of Goa:
and, as it was already October, whoever had the will to serve the
king, and win such great honour, as it would be to find oneself
in such a noble action, would still have time enough to witness
the action and return to embark in his ship, carrying away so much
honour from having been present in the action: and each one was to
act according to his own will, for he would give an account of all
to the king in his letters. But the captains, occupied with their
profits of selling and taking in cargo, set little store by this,
and the governor departed, saying that he was not going to take
anyone away with him against his will.”
Albuquerque then went to Cananor, which G. Correa says he again left
on the 3rd October for Goa (tom. II, p. 140); _tres_ is probably an
error for _treze_, the 13th, which would be in accordance with the
statement of the document that Albuquerque sailed from Cochim on the
11th of October. Gaspar Correa gives the following names of captains
who accompanied Albuquerque against Goa.
