Of how the Armada arrived at Cape Iasques, where it received news of the English ships, and of what happened until it encountered them.

Wafted by favouring winds, the Armada reached Cape Iasques [Jask] within a few days, and cast anchor in 20 fathoms off the point of the Cape, opposite a Pagoda. The Captain-Major immediately dispatched a terranquim (light craft with 10 oars on each side) to Cinde [Sindh] with letters to the Captain thereof, in which he gave him an Account of how he was there awaiting the English, and instructing him to warn all merchant ships that might be in that port on their way to Ormuz to sail straight to Mazcate instead, because there was a risk of the English coming to espy the roadstead of Cinde on their way along the coast to Cape Iasques, and that in Mazcate they would find orders what further to do.
