When the King of Djohor found that all his attempts mis-

with the Portuguese (1514), which was preserved for some

The Viceroy Atronsus ALBUKIRK sent his cousin GEorGE 
ALBUKIRK the same year (1514), to Malakka to succeed the 
valiant Roprico PataLyn as second Governor of that place 
(Malakka). 
NinacHieTu was dismissed at the same time, and the King 
of Campar appointed Shahbandar (7) in his place (no one knew

drove the traitor and his companions trom the fort at the very 
moment when a party of armed Malays came up to second their 
‘efforts. The commander of this party, named Juan Canascan,

Manomep, the King of Johor, caused it to be noised abroad that
