This armada having left, the viceroy 1 immediately dispatched 

 another to Ceilao, of which he elected as captain of that 

 fortress Dom Antonio de Noronha, who left on the 1st of May 2 

 with a galley, in which he went, and four foists, captain 

 Fernao Dias de Oliveyra, Jeronimo Monteiro, and Antonio 

 Machado, all of whom arrived in safety, and Dom Antonio 

 took possession of that captaincy 3 . Of these armadas above- 

 mentioned I do not describe the successes, because there was 

 nothing noteworthy that we can mention.
