 The exact location is uncertain, but probably around the shoals of São Lázaro (modern day Quirimbas Islands, Mozambique).Ataíde lost the ship and cargo, but most of the crew managed to make it safely to the nearby shore.Stranded without supplies and far away from any large settlement (only a small peasant hamlet of four huts was found nearby), Ataíde set aboard a longboat with some fifteen crew members hoping to reach Mozambique Island, promising to arrange for a rescue party to pick up the remainder.
