These ships plundered nothing but three Chinese vessels of little value, which were coming to this city.

A ship and a patache were sent from this coast of Manila to Maluco.

It is well known that the ship was lost on the same coast by running aground, although the Hollanders hide the fact.

The patache, driven by contrary winds, soon put into harbor.

It reached Firando on the fourteenth of July; and as soon as it secured munitions, provisions, and people was sent to wait for the Portuguese galeotas which were going from Macan to Japon.
