The Mindanaos landed, and the inhabitants fled.

They set fire to the village and to more than one thousand quintals of your Majesty's rigging, through the fault and neglect of him who was governing.

For although the master-of camp, Don Juan Ronquillo, had advised them--on account of the news that had come that the Mindanaos had burned the shipyard, and were pillaging--that fifty soldiers be sent to Balayan for its defense, and because the alcalde-mayor had sent to request it, they did not do so, but postponed it from day to day; and consequently the enemy was able to destroy that place.

But as the inhabitants were warned, as soon as they saw the Mindanaos coming, they had a chance to get into the place of safety that was being prepared for them.

Our Lord ordained that, although they set fire to the rigging, little of it was burned; for God kept it for the preparation of the fleet, without which that would have been impossible.
At the news of the coming of the Mindanaos, two galleys were sent under one commander, in order to prevent the junction of the Moros with the Dutch, and to try to scatter them.
