And now a curious thing happened. The " San Raphael ' could not be brought round with her prow towards the channel, despite every exertion of the sailors, but, instead, drifted straight upon the bank.
" Let the anchor fall, and strike the sails ! ' shouted Vasco ; and his order was echoed by his brother on the other ship, which was close by.
The next thing they knew, the "San Raphael' stuck by her stern upon the bar. The old Moor, whose real purpose was to get the ships aground, thought he had ...succeeded, and rowed hastily away to the shore. At the same time, one of the Mom- baza pilots seized a moment of confusion to leap into the sea, and swim lustily for the Moorish canoes ; one of which soon picked him up, and carried him safely to the island.
Before the other Mombaza pilot could follow his comrade's example, he was seized. And now Vasco da Gama began to suspect that the Moors he had brought from Mozambique had been plot- ting with those of Mombaza to destroy the ships.
He ordered them to be brought on deck, and questioned them.
