Diogo de Atayde ; 
Duarte de Lemos da Frofa in the Sta. Cruz ; 
Vasco da Silveira ; 
Pero Correa ; 
Diogo Correa, his brother ; 
Of these seventeen ships, the four first, under the com- 
mand of Diogo Lopez de Siqueira, were to discover the Island 
of Sao Lourengo, and not finding there the silver, cloves and 
ginger, of which the reports: spoke, they were to proceed to 
discover the town of Malacca. 
Of the thirteen under command of Jorge de Aguiar, eight 
were for cargo, and the other five were to be employed under 
his command in guarding the coast of Ethiopia and Arabia. 
Events—On the journey from Malacca to India the Sth. 
Clara struck on a reef and foundered. Diogo Lopez gave her 
captain Jeronimo Teixeira, Joao Nunez’s ship (as he was 
vice-captain.) 
Gong¢alo de Souza’s ship was fired, there being no men to 
man her. 
Jorge de Aguiar was lost by night off the Tristao da 
Cunha Islands. 
Francisco Pereira Pastana wintered at Quiloa where he 
went as captain. 
It was to effect Ruy de Aranjo’s release and “ to chastise 
the Malays for the treason which they had practised upon 
Diogo Lopez de Siqueira”’ that Alboquerque attacked Malacca. 
He captured it on the 15th August 1511. 
Miscellaneous Notes. 
Malays have a number of “ words of command’ 
with which they guide their cattle in ploughing. 
The words, I believe, alter in the various states or the 
peninsula. The following short list gives the words used 
by the Malays of Kedah and Perlis.
