1 The general then required to have an almadia to carry him and his people on board.
2 Towards night the master offered him a knife, which he scornfully refused, and immediately went ashore in an almadia .
3 It reached the shore, and they left the almadia , and some of my company landed after them, and they all fled like hens.
4 After this, a proclamation was made through the city, forbidding any boat or almadia to go on board our fleet on pain of death.
5 And the almadia went back so fast that there never was a boat which could come up with her, although we had a considerable advantage.
6 The caravels came to anchor beyond this wood, and several almadias came off from the shore towards them.
7 "Now as it was night they all went ashore with their almadias . "
8 Within this range the boats or almadias of the country ply backwards and forwards in great safety, in the intervening channel.
