jul 26, 1497 - Becalmed by the captain-major.

Description:

Having joined company we pursued our route, but the wind fell, and we were becalmed until Wednesday July 26. At ten o’clock on that day we sighted the captain-major, about five leagues ahead of us, and having got speech with him in the evening we gave expression to our joy by many times firing off our bombards and sounding the trumpets.
