120 VALENTYN’S DESCRIPTION OF MALACGA. 
The marriage having been concluded quite secretly, the 
TN engaged 6,000 troops, and with their aid attempted to 
arry his plots into execution, but ALBUQUERQUE put him to

eye upon the plots of ABADILCHAIN against Goa. 
He, however, not only failed to carry out his expedition, 
but narrowly escaped with his life, his vessel having struck 
and sunk in a storm off Pasi on the Island of Sumatra. Though 
this happened at night, he and his crew were saved; but he 
lost Nakhoda Breva’s bracelet with the precious blood-stanch-

PuTREJUS ANDRADO that he did not venture a further attempt.

(*) Faria y Souza says ninety sail, which sounds more probable, 
with 1,200 men (an average of 133 to each vessel ) and a good 
supply of artillery.
