Whan I was retoʳned vnto oʳ capitaigne, he commanded Mʳ. Vettor
Soranzo, wᵗʰ certein sopracomiti, to see the persons and goods taken
contrarie to thappoinctmᵗ recovered. Whearevpon, early in the moʳneng,
cries were made vpon great penaltie that everie man shulde bringe on
lande as well the persons as the goods so taken, and besides this the
galeys were dilygently searched. The persons were all founde, and a
great ꝑte of the goodes, whereof those of smallest valewe were cast on
a great heape, and such parte of it taken out as apꝑertaigned to the
Lorde, and likewise out of the sackes or elswheare all that was his was
had out, and all togither brought into the galley of Mʳ Vettor Soranzo,
the proveditoʳ, because the Lorde wᵗʰ his wief were entered into that
galey, vnto whom all the things that coulde be founde were presented.
And for the rest of the peoples goodes they were all assigned to their
own captaigne, who made a crye that every one shulde come fooʳthe and
take his owne, and so they did. It was thought this lorde shulde have
no small treasure lefte him by his father, and, as it appeared, what of
preciouse stones, perles, golde, sylver, and clothe, there were doseins
of thousande ducates. For proof whereof one SOPRACOMITO, a Candiot, which
had twoo sackes of the said goodes thone whereof be restored, and caried
thother wᵗʰ him vnto Rodes: wheare he died; bequethed vnto the said lorde
in recompense of that which he had of his viijᶜ ducates. This doon, twoo
of the same lordes bretherne came to hym into the galey, and wᵗʰ divers
reasons so ꝑsuaded him, that he consented to retoʳne to lande againe wᵗʰ
all his; wheare, shortly after, the galeys being departed, they caused
him to die; and, as though that had been but a small matter, thone of
them also maried his brothers wief.
