They were unable to get a piece that could be used, although they tried in various ways.

They continued these efforts until certain Japanese built some ovens, in their own fashion, and made some bellows which forced in a great quantity of air.

Those produced better artillery, although some of these pieces also burst, for they did not hit upon the alloy of copper in accordance with its quality.
Don Juan de Silva persisted in his intentions; and, seeing after two years had passed that the master-of-camp Azqueta had not arrived, and that it must be believed that he had been drowned, he sent a father rector of the Society of Jesus, named Juan de Ribera, [41] and Captain Don Diego de Miranda, a Portuguese, to Goa, so that, in his name, they might ask the viceroy for the said galleons; and they did so.

Although with great objection and opposition from the city of Goa, the viceroy gave them four galleons and four galliots, with very few and badly disciplined crews.

What took place in India in regard to that matter is a pity.
