These men were slaves of the Arab general, who for some injury done them wanted to take vengeance upon him. The three entered a boat and landed at Masqat, where the escaped captive set to work to fit out the rest of his fleet. Next morning he fell on the enemy's ships unawares, cannonading them, setting them on fire and destroying all that was in them ; then, disembarking on the mainland, he seized the general and the rest of the officers who had got drunk, not being accustomed to wine. Thus did Ruy Freire obtain a signal victory by his own skill and genius. He took his prisoners to Masqat, and instead of making that place over to the general, as had been demanded, he forced the Arab to deliver to him much booty. Thus the Arabs lived during his government in great fear and trembling. - [Previous: 266.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.2.7) - [Next: 266.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.3.2) - [Up: 266.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.3.1) · Pramāṇa
