Desirous to make some quick profit of his own, Gonçalo de Sintra disobeyed Henry's instructions and decided to make a quick slave-raiding detour to the Arguin banks. But Lançarote's raid had driven much of the local population to evacuate the islands and coasts, with the result that Sintra found the fishing settlements deserted. Sintra managed to capture two Berber women who had lingered on <a href="/wiki/Arguin_island" class="mw-redirect" title="Arguin island">Arguin island</a>, but a Berber slave-boy Sintra had brought from Portugal to serve as translator escaped. This turn of events probably persuaded Sintra to make an effortful search for captives to 'make up' for the loss of the slave-boy rather than just call it quits and go on to Guinea. </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/Gomes_Eanes_de_Zurara" title="Gomes Eanes de Zurara">Zurara</a>, Gonçalo de Sintra directed his caravel to <a href="/wiki/Nair_(Mauritania)" title="Nair (Mauritania)">Nair island</a> (<i>ilha do Nar</i>), at the southern end of Arguin bay. At first Nair seemed abandoned, like all the other settlements. But taking a handful of crew aboard a <a href="/wiki/Launch_(boat)" title="Launch (boat)">launch</a>, Sintra led a landing party to investigate. Not long after they landed, the Portuguese were ambushed by a hidden force of some seventy armed Sanhaja Berber tribesmen. The conditions of the surf and tide prevented the caravel from approaching the island and rescuing the landing party. Gonçalo de Sintra and seven crewmen were killed on the spot. The caravel, with its remaining crew, immediately returned to Portugal. </p><p>Although Zurara<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> identified the location of Sintra's death at Nair island, in the Arguin banks, later chronicler <a href="/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_de_Barros" title="João de Barros">João de Barros</a><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> asserted the event transpired much further north, just below <a href="/wiki/Rio_de_Oro" class="mw-redirect" title="Rio de Oro">Rio de Oro</a>, at a location since known as <a href="/wiki/Cintra_Bay" title="Cintra Bay">Cintra Bay</a> (<i>Angra de Cintra</i>, <a href="/wiki/Western_Sahara" title="Western Sahara">Western Sahara</a>).<span class="geo-inline"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1156832818">.mw-parser-output .geo-default,.mw-parser-output .geo-dms,.mw-parser-output .geo-dec{display:inline}.mw-parser-output .geo-nondefault,.mw-parser-output .geo-multi-punct,.mw-parser-output .geo-inline-hidden{display:none}.mw-parser-output .longitude,.mw-parser-output .latitude{white-space:nowrap}</style><span class="plainlinks nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Gon%C3%A7alo_de_Sintra&params=22_58_N_16_10_W_"><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">22°58′N</span> <span class="longitude">16°10′W</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">22.967°N 16.167°W</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">22.967; -16.167</span></span></span></a></span></span>.
