Finding that nothing could induce the natives to be friendly, and
Veloso, having been rescued, Vasco da Gama ordered the boats to return
to the ship, and then sent back a party of crossbow-men to chastise the
savages.

No information about the cape or the people had been gained, for
Fernando could only describe the dangers he had encountered.
Accordingly, the anchors were weighed and the squadron stood out to sea.
The wind, however, blew hard from the southward, while tremendous waves
rose up, threatening destruction to the vessels, and, as they could only
sail on a bowline, they continued for many days standing off land.  They
then tacked and stood back, when once more they put about close hauled,
so that they at length reached a far southern latitude.  The heavy sea
still running and the wind blowing harder than ever, the crews suffered
greatly; still the Captain-Major insisted on continuing his course.
Once more tacking and making the land, the masters and pilots became
much alarmed from seeing it extending away to the west, and they
declared that it went across the sea, and had no end to it.

Vasco da Gama, on hearing of their complaints, assured them that the
cape was near, and that by making another tack on their return they
would find that they had doubled it.  He accordingly ordered the ships
to be put about, doing his utmost to raise the sinking courage of his
companions.

On the ships sailed, day after day, in spite of the heavy winds and
seas.  He himself took no repose, sharing the hardships his men were
enduring, never failing to come on deck, as they did, at the sound of
the boatswain's pipe.  The terrified and disheartened crews of the
several ships clamoured loudly to return to Portugal, but their captains
told them that they had resolved to follow the fortunes of their leader.

At length the pilots and masters entreated Vasco da Gama to tack back
again, on the plea that the days were short, the nights long, and the
vessels leaky, while the wind blew strongly, and cold rain and sleet
came beating in their faces.  He accordingly ordered the ships to be put
about,

 Finding that nothing could induce the natives to be friendly, and 
 Veloso, having been rescue, Vasco da Gama arrange the boats to hark back 
 to the ship, and then send back a party of crossbow - men to chastise the 
 savages. 

 No data about the cape or the people had been gained, for 
 Fernando could only report the dangers he had encountered. 
 consequently, the anchors were weighed and the squadron stood out to sea. 
 The fart, however, blew hard from the southward, while tremendous waves 
 rebel up, threatening destruction to the vessel, and, as they could only 
 sail on a bowline, they continued for many day standing off land.   They 
 then tacked and stood back, when once more they put approximately close hauled, 
 so that they at length reached a far southern latitude.   The heavy ocean 
 however running and the wind blowing harder than ever, the crews suffered 
 greatly; still the Captain - Major insisted on cover his course. 
 Once more tacking and make the kingdom, the masters and pilots became 
 a lot alarmed from seeing it offer away to the west, and they 
 declared that it go across the sea, and had no end to it. 

 Vasco da Gama, on hearing of their complaints, assured them that the 
 cape was dear, and that by making another tack on their return they 
 would find that they had double it.   He consequently ordain the ships 
 to be put about, doing his utmost to promote the sinking courage of his 
 companions. 

 On the ships sail, day after day, in spite of the heavy wind and

 At duration the pilots and masters bid Vasco da Gama to tack back
