Summary: In the first voyage of the East India Company, ships faced challenges with scurvy and mortality, but eventually reached their destination at Saldanha Bay. Following that, the expedition continued northwards, fighting scurvy, and finally reached the other side of the African coast, where further challenges awaited them. The annexation of Kandahar and the struggles with family members underscored the complex dynamics that Emperor Hoomayoon had to navigate, ultimately leading to his recovery of key territories and his son Akber after a series of tumultuous events. Akber's miraculous escape and the brutalities witnessed during the family conflicts paint a vivid picture of the power struggles and human drama of the time.
