ABSTRACT

Owing to the capture of the Sheiks, the coasts of Arabia remained quiet, altho’ Iulufar was in rebellion,—however as this city had no King it was easy to take or reduce it; accordingly the Captain-Major ordered three galliots which had come from the River of Lafetá to be fitted out, and likewise ordered four 30 lb: guns from the galleons to be placed in each of them. Hieronymo Tavares was placed in command of them together with ten terranquis containing soldiers of the King of Ormuz.
