For this reason I have given the coming of Limahon, and all the rest of the above relation.
Omoncon, captain of the Chinese king, coming in search of the pirate Limahon, encounters our Spaniards.

Chapter VIII.
During the period of the siege, as related in the preceding chapter, certain boats were going to and coming from the city of Manila--distant, as I have said, but forty leagues from the mouth of the Pangasinan River--for the purpose of bringing provisions and other necessities for the support of the army.
It happened one day that a vessel under command of Miguel de Loarcha, [26] having on board father Fray Martin de Herrada, provincial of the Augustinians (who had come to Pangasinan to see the master-of-camp, and was returning to Manila to hold a meeting of his order), met in the island and port of Buliano, seven leagues from the Pagasinan River, as they were going out of the port, a Sangley ship, which was about to enter the port.

Thinking it to be a hostile vessel, they bore down upon it, together with another ship in their company.

Those aboard the ship were only the said father provincial and five other Spaniards and the sailors.

The Sangley ship, seeing them bearing down upon it, tried to take flight; but, the contrary wind not permitting this, as a consequence, the Spanish ships, by means of sail and oar, came within cannon range, and even nearer, in a few moments.
