In 1530 the Portuguese, having already assembled at Bombay a great fleet, sailed for Damān and captured that town, and in February, 1531, arrived before Diū, which they attacked, but Bahādur had already visited the place in 1530, and had made all provision for its defence, and the Portuguese, having failed to take the town, sailed back to Goa, leaving a fleet in the Gulf of Cambay to harass the trade and shipping of Gujarāt.
