ABSTRACT
The Captain-Major Ruy Freyre leaving the port of Iasques secure (albeit at so great a cost), sailed along the coast of Persia to the Fortress of Ormuz where he arrived within a few days. The galleon São Martinho came dressed and decked out with black flags, and the whole Armada cast anchor without firing a salute, thereby showing the grief which was felt at the death of the Almirante Ioão Borralho, who was subsequently buried in the Carmel Church with the funereal honours and military pomp due to so honoured and valiant a Captain.
