April 1501 CE
Ataíde, who had become separated in the Mozambique Channel from the other two ships soon after departure, has hurried to São Brás (Mossel Bay, South Africa), hoping to find Cabral here waiting for him.
But he is out of luck—Cabral and Miranda had decided to proceed on together towards Lisbon without him.
Finding no trace of the others, Ataíde decides to make his way home on his own, leaving behind a letter in a boot by a local watering hole giving an account of the expedition (Ataide's note will be found later in this year by João da Nova's expedition).
