all day and the Enemy drew off with shame for the weight of this Action lay upon two resolute Gentlemen Next day Pacheco in despair surrendred The Enemy enters the Bulwark casts down the Christian Colours and set up the Turkish Iohn Perez enraged hereat throws down the Turkish and again rears the Christian Ensigns the Turks come on and five Portugueses more join Perez who all were killed upon the spot and their Bodies cast into the Sea which laid them at the Gate of the Fort where they were honourably buried Pacheco and those with him had articled for Life and Liberty The latter was not performed by Solyman the first he granted cloathing their Bodies with Turkish Garments as they had cloathed their Souls with Infamy in accepting them Then he sent one of them to Silveyra to summon him to surrender He made a jest of the Proposal 10. Solyman enraged at this Contempt prepared to batter the Fort. He planted his Artillery in several places under the direction of Coje Among the Cannon were nine Pieces of wonderful bigness carrying Ball of above ninety pounds weight Thus several other Sizes of Cannon which in all were above one hundred and thirty guardby two thousand Turks Upon Monday the fourth of October the Battery began and continued violently twenty days doing great harm to the Fort from whence scarce any could be done nor they could hardly repair the most dangerous Breaches tho all Art and Diligence was used 11. The sixth day after they began to batter the Turks perceiving Gaspar de Sousa's Bulwark much damaged thought to carry it but many of them were killed in the Attempt with the loss of two of ours Every day there was Action Goncalo Falcam had his Head shot off Iohn Fonseca being wounded in the Right Arm held his Lance with the Left as if he had received no hurt The Gallego Iohn a Youth of nineteen years of age of a little Body but great Heart pursued a Moor till he run into the Sea thither he followed till losing ground he was like to drown The Moor perceiving it laid hold on him to kill him but he recovering himself without losing Gun or Sword slew him and came out all bloody walking leisurely towards the Fort while Showers of Bullets flew about him Many other singular Acts of Valour were performed this Siege 12. But by this time many brave Gentlemen had been killed in the Fort Powder grew short the Provisions shorter the Relief of the Viceroy D. Garcia de Noronha now arrived in India moved slow the Neighbouring Forts sent no Aid and all began to be in confusion Which was increased by a sickness that hindered most from swallowing the little Provision they had swelling the Gums and loosening the Teeth so that they fell out this was caused by the bad Water In fine the Portugueses fought and suffered as if so much Misery could not overcome them Let the Valour of the Women now take place here Donna Isabel de Vega a Woman of great Virtue and some Beauty was Wife to Manuel de Vasconcelos he fearing the Fort might be lost and she taken by the Turks earnestly entreated her to go to her Father Francis Ferram at Goa but she begged not to be parted from him which with much regret at last he granted Then this Virago considering there were many Men employed in the Work who might fight and their places be supplied by as many Women calling together all of that Sex that were in the Fort she exhorted them to undertake that Labour to the end so many Men might be added to the number of their Defendants They all followed she led and gave the Example and with her Anne Fenandez with whom she had before communicated her Design This Anne was Wife to a Physician and so couragious that by night she viewed all the Posts and appeared at Assaults encouraging the Soldiers Her Son being killed in her sight she drew him away returned where the Service was and that ended went to bury him 13. Perceiving the Turks undermined his Bulwark Gaspar de Sousa sallied with seventy Men to view their Work which he did with great slaughter of the Enemy At his Retreat missing two Men he turned back upon the Enemy fought bravely and being surrounded was hamstringed yet so defended himself on his Knees till oppressed by the multitude The Mine was countermined the continual Labour was insupportable and impossible to repair so many Ruins 14. At this Juncture arrived four Vessels sent by the Viceroy D. Garcia which carried only twenty Men of Relief Solyman was concerned at this Succour tho small and much more that the Fort stood so many Assaults Coje Zofar having assured he would carry it at two At the beginning of the Siege there were six hundred Men in the Fort many were killed and some Cannon burst But the Turk placed no confidence herein and looked toward the Sea fearful of the Portugues Fleet he heared was coming upon him 15. This moved him to press the Siege with more vigour The Bulwark of the Sea where Antony de Sousa commanded was furiously attacked with fifty Barques two whereof were sunk by our Cannon Then they attempted to scale it and were repulsed with great slaughter The Assault was repeated and still the Enemy came off with loss Sousa sent the wounded Men to be dressed among them Fernan Penteado who waiting heared the noise of a fresh Attack and forgetting the Dressing run thither and received another Wound the very same happened to him the third time and then was dressed of all three By this time there were left in the Fort but two hundred and fifity of the six hundred Men fit to take Arms. 16. Solyman now in despair resolved to venture all First he counterfeited he would raise the Siege and twelve Gallies put to Sea that Silveyra might be the easier surprized but he provided still to repulse the greatest danger One night some Noise was heared at the Foot of the Wall by water it appeared they were applying great numbers of scaling Ladders they were opposed till morning appearing shewed the place beset round and assaulted by fourteen thousand Men. First the Cannon was played and then they mounted on all sides chieflly next the Commandant's House where it was weakest but he had placed such Men there as made a great slaughter Failing there they attempted a Bulwark powring in showers of Arrows and Bullets Great was the Confusion and Havock on both sides Now come up fourteen Gallies powring in their great shot but do no Execution Francis Gouvea made them draw off having battered two and killed some Men with his Cannon By this time two hundred Turks had entered the Bulwark and planted their Colours Scarce thirty Portugueses were there to oppose them but they rushing on desperately regain the Work The Enemy being very thick none of our shot is lost they sustain great damage and such as were in this Action draw off Fresh Men succeed and
