account, obtained by the Franciscan Juan de Plasencia from the natives.

EVENTS IN THE FILIPINAS ISLANDS. [1]
Chapter Seventh (_concluded_)
On the tenth [of July] [2] of the same year, the vessels
"Espiritu-Santo" and "Jesus Maria" left the port of Cabit en route
for Nueva Espana--in the wake of two smaller vessels, which had been
despatched a fortnight before--with the Filipinas merchandise. Don Lope
de Ulloa was their commander, while Doctor Antonio de Morga left those
islands in the almiranta, the "Santo Espiritu," to fill the office of
alcalde of the court of Mexico.
