T h e Captain-Major Ruy Freyre leaving the port of lasques secure (albeit at so great a coft), sailed along the coaft of Persia to the Fortress of Ormuz where he arrived within a few days. The galleon Sao Martinho came dressed and decked out with black flags, and the whole Armada caft anchor without firing a salute, thereby showing the grief which was felt at the death of the Almirante Ioao Borralho, who was subse­ quently buried in the Carmel Church with the funereal honours and military pomp due to so honoured and valiant a Captain.
