Synopsis
Excerpt from The Portuguese in India, Vol. 2: Being a History of the Rise and Decline of Their Eastern Empire
It was the middle Of October when the King Of Achin, pursuant to the conditions and terms Of the recent alli ance, appeared before Malacca with a fleet of nearly 100 sail and men, together with a vast quantity of ammunition. He landed the. Same night Of his arrival, and set fire to the town of Iller, which would most probably have been totally destroyed but for the occur rence of a sudden and violent downpour Of rain.
The enemy next attempted to burn the Portuguese ships, but, failing in this and other plans, resolved to carry the city by a regular siege. Malacca was then in a miserable condition, with a small garrison, which had suffered much from sickness and famine.
Malacca had, to a' certain extent, no hopes Of a success ful defence. The enemy were incessantly battering its walls, and had cut Off all communication from without, so that no provisions could be introduced, and the garrison and inhabitants were soon reduced to great misery and want.
