He was unable, however, to overtake them, for a Dutch lad aboard the "San Marcos" escaped by swimming and went to the enemy, to whom he related what was happening.

Thereupon the Dutch returned to Japon, laden with spoils.
Some have doubted whether the enemy had ten galleons, since only six fought, besides the two above mentioned, [and ask] what became of them.

I answer that doubt by saying that one fled on the day of battle, and refused to fight, for which reason its captain was hanged at Maluco.

The Dutch commander sent the other vessel back with the wounded and some sick men, as soon as the engagement with Don Diego de Quinones had happened, chiefly because that galleon was leaking badly.
Captain Molina carried a carved image of our Lady in the galleon "Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe." It was kept in a little wooden tabernacle.

An eighteen-libra ball entered one of the ports, struck the tabernacle of the image, and knocked it into a thousand splinters.
