His patron is dead, his commander has defied the King, and the fleet is sailing for revenge.
A Mamluk battle fleet traps a Portuguese squadron in the river at Chaul, and Magalhães, a gunner aboard the caravel São Miguel, watches the Viceroy's son fall on a ship he cannot reach. He joins Dom Francisco de Almeida's punitive armada north, an armada now sailing under an authority the King has already revoked.
Dabul burns. A command is given and lost. Off Diu the fleet holds the whole sea and can do nothing with it, while the governor sends fruit, courteous letters and no prisoners. To bring the fleet in, someone must sound a bar no Portuguese has ever charted, and Magalhães puts his own name and his friend Tomé Serrano's on the boat list.
