The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898

PREFACE
69/239

The larger ship, when nearly all the crew were dead, and the general himself had been killed by a ball, was overcome and boarded by the Hollanders.

They say that they secured two hundred thousand pesos in that ship.

It may be true, but I do not vouch for that.

Two Portuguese had gone from the shore, on the preceding day, to see the English ships.

They were seized by the Hollanders, who carried them to Japon in the ship which I mentioned, together with some Englishmen.
