In his place they sent another man from Portugal, named Antonio Galvao. He was wiser, and marrying with a good dower, lived in peace with his wife. After some years he left Macao with his family, and came to live in the city of Goa. The viceroy, Antonio de Mello de Castro, made him governor of the fortress at Chaul. On my passing through that place, I received from him good help on my way and great urbanity ; he was very fond of foreigners. In the year one thousand six hundred and eighty-two (1682), when I came back to Goa, he was then dead ; but I came across his son called Francisco Galvao, when we were neighbours. During the fighting with Shiva Ji [i.e., Sambha Ji, son of Shiva Ji] on the island of Santo Estave (Estevao), he was hit by a ball from the enemy's cannon which took off his head.
