Before its second arrival at Kūlam, the ship evidently had two nākhudās on board, 'Alī Nāwak, who disembarked at Fāknūr, and a second nākhudā who subsequently died at sea, and who had evidently been the one responsible for navigation. […]
'Alī Nāwak disembarked and remained there and everyone else wanted to continue on to Kūlam — but then the captain had a stroke and died. They threw his body overboard (as one does at sea — he had been ill while in town) and then somehow made it to Kulām with neither charts nor a captain.
When we encountered a large pusht (a reef, or another underwater obstacle), water being five fathoms high, and did not know whether this was the Fal (the northern end of the Laccadive Islands) or not,God granted us safety, but the captain had a stroke and died. We threw his body overboard into the sea. So the boat remained without a commander and a . . ., and we had no charts. - Related People
