But their commander assured them that there was nothing to fear, and that the flagship had all the force, and he dared to defeat it.

Don Juan Ronquillo collected his fleet that night and sent an order by the galley of Don Diego de Quinones for each vessel to grapple with the one that fell to its lot, and for the "San Lorenco" to act as a reserve in order to help the most needy.

Next morning, Saturday, April 15, our fleet bore down upon the enemy and succeeded in getting to windward of it.

Don Diego de Quinones went with his galley to tell the commander that he was waiting to attack the enemy.

The commander gave the same order, and also to leave the enemy's flagship for him.
