The viceroy pursuing his voyage with all this fleet had got 

 as far as the islets of Onor 5 , when he encountered a storm 

 from the south-west 6 so severe, that the whole fleet was forced 

 to turn stern on to it ; and with great trouble they managed to 

 cast anchor at the islets of Angediva, where they were detained 

 four or five days until the wind had ceased, when they resumed 

 their voyage, and in a few days arrived at Cochim, where the 

 viceroy landed to give orders about various matters, and the 

 city gave him a very grand reception, but he would not take 

 up his lodging there , but remained in his galley attending to 



1 The late captain of Ceylon, whence he must have returned at the 

 end of 1559 (c/. supra, VII. vi. vii., p. 179, and infra, VII. ix. vi., p. 205). 



2 The allusion is, of course, to the shape of this curious coin, the larin 

 being a thin silver bar or rod, sometimes bent over in the form of a hook 

 (see Hob. -Job. s.v. " Larin," and the pictures of the coin in Pyr. i. 232, 

 234). 



3 Chronica que tracta da vida do . Dom Joao ho Segundo, 



&c, Lisbon, 1596. 



4 In Garcia da Orta's fifty-eighth Goloquio, his friend the physician 

 Dimas Bosque mentions the presence in this expedition of Agostinho 

 Nunez, also of himself (see infra, p. 196, note x ). 



5 Onor is Honavar, a town and port of Kanara (see Hob. -Job. s.v. 

 " Honore "). The " islets " here mentioned are doubtless Hog and 

 Pigeon Islands south of Honavar. 



6 A storm off the west coast of India in September is rare, but not 

 unknown.
