Caros amigos do grupo!

Algum de vocês poderia me ajudar no que o cura redigiu após a frase "cair no mar vindo as ????"

I believe he was collecting limpets (lapas), fell, and was never seen again.  Lapas are a very common food here.

Looks to me like:  "Hindo as lapas e nunca mais apereceu" .  I do not understand "hindo", perhaps it is "indo" with different spelling.

This one is tricky, but one hypothesis is:

"...por cair no mar, hindo (indo) as lapaz (lapas), e nunca mais apareceu." - "...due to falling into the sea—swept away by the waves—and never appearing again."

or alternatively:

"...por cair no mar, vindo as lapaz, e nunca mais apareceu." - "...due to falling into the sea—caught by the surf—and never appearing again."

*Lapa* is an old word referring to the mollusk that clings to coastal rocks and, by extension, to the rocks themselves where it attaches.

As far as I knew, "Lapa" was just the mollusk known in English as "Limpet" which are commonly eaten in the Azores.

After checking my Portuguese dictionary, I see that "Lapa" is also an old term in Portuguese for a small cave or grotto (perhaps that's where the name of the mollusk comes from--or vice versa)

So, Guiherme is correct.  It could be the mollusks or the rocks.  Either way, the ocean in presumed to have claimed him.
