The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898

CHAPTER IX
3/7

The chiefs of those caracoas divided into two parties because of disputes between them.

One party went toward Manila in search of the Dutch.

The other went to the island of Panay.

Captain Don Diego de Quinones, who was stationed in that island as commandant and captain of the Pintados Islands, hearing of this, sent Captain Lazaro de Torres with seven caracoas in pursuit of them; he defeated them, and captured four caracoas.

The rest took to the open sea in flight, and, those vessels being small, all of the men were drowned; for no news that they have reached their country has been heard here since.
That island of Mindanao is the farthest of the Filipinas Islands, and is about twenty leguas from Cibu.
