When the days had elapsed which Afonso Dalboquerque spent in the flagship, waiting while they emptied the houses of Gonҫalo Fernandez, wherein he was to lodge, he went on shore; and Gaspar Pereira went immediately to see him, and told him that the Viceroy, previous to his departure from Cananor to Diu, had sent him some drafts of charges made against him, which he would show him, and if he would give him permission to lay them before him, or serve them upon him, he would do so; but if not, they could remain where they were until the arrival of the Viceroy, for he himself had nothing to do in the matter except as a messenger.
