The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea. Vol. II

Note 39 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA;

C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation

This seems one of the earliest notices of non-Portuguese craft in these waters. But Uso di Mare was almost certainly in the Prince's service, like "Vallarte the Dane," and "Balthasar the German," noticed in Azurara, Guinea, chs. xvi. and xciv. Uso di Mare's letter to his creditors of December 12, 1455, seems to show that the expedition had returned before Christmas.
