45' S., latitude and in circuit it is twenty-five leagues.

We named it the bay of _San Felipe_ and _Santiago_, and the land _del Espiritu Santo_.
There we remained fifty days; we took possession in the Name of Your Majesty.
From within this bay, and from the most sheltered part of it, the _Capitana_ departed at one hour past midnight, without any notice given to us, and without making any signal.

This happened the 11th of June, and although the next morning we went out to seek for them, and made all proper efforts, it was not possible for us to find them, for they did not sail on the proper course, nor with good intention.
So I was obliged to return to the bay, to see if by chance they had returned thither.

And on the same account we remained in this bay fifteen days, at the end of which we took Your Majesty's orders,* and held a consultation with the officers of the _Brigantine_.
[* The orders included instructions to sail as far as the 21st parallel; also to _rendezvous_ at _Graciosa_ bay, which order Torres appears to have disobeyed.] It was determined that we should fulfil them, although contrary to the inclination of many, I may say of the greater part; but my condition was different from that of Captain Pedro Fernandez de Queiroz.* [* Torres insinuates here that Queiroz was overruled by his crew.] TORRES LEAVES SANTO.
At length we sailed from this bay, in conformity to the order, although with intention to sail round this island,* but the season and strong currents would not allow of this, although I ran along a great part of it.

In what I saw there are very large mountains.
