valiantly with “small stones, poles, arrows, and mangrove cudgels as large around as the arm, the ends sharpened and hardened in the fire,” but were finally vanquished; they abandoned this island afterwards and went to Mindanao.  “Upon capturing this island we found a quantity of porcelain, and some bells which are different from ours, and which they esteem highly in their festivities,” besides “perfumes of musk, amber, civet, officinal storax, and aromatic and resinous perfumes.  With these they are well supplied, and are accustomed to their use; and they buy these perfumes from Chinese who come to Mindanao and the Philipinas.”  They found a very small quantity of gold.  The booty was divided among the company, during which a controversy arose as the soldiers objected to both Villalobos and the viceroy of New Spain having separate shares therein, claiming that it was sufficient to pay the former the seventh which he asked, with the choice of one jewel.  After this was settled, the general ordered maize to be planted “which was done twice, but it did not come up.  This irritated them all, and they said they did not come to plant, but to make conquests.”  To their complaints, and requests to change their location, Villalobos replied “that he came for the sole purpose of discovering the course of the voyage, and of making a settlement.”  “The offensive arms of the inhabitants of these islands are cutlasses and daggers; lances, javelins, and other missile weapons; bows and arrows, and culverins.  They all, as a rule, possess poisonous herbs, and use them and other poisons in their wars.  Their defensive arms are cotton corselets reaching to the feet and with sleeves; corselets made of wood and buffalo horn; and cuirasses made of bamboo and hard wood, which entirely cover them.  Armor for the head is made of dogfish-skin, which is very tough.  In some islands they have small pieces of artillery and a few arquebuses.  They are universally treacherous, and do not keep faith, or know how to keep it.  They observe the peace and friendship they have contracted only so long as they are not prepared to do anything else; and as soon as they are prepared to commit any act of knavery, they do not hesitate because of any peace and friendship that they have made.  Those who carry on trade with them, must hold themselves very cautiously.  Certain Spaniards who trusted in them were killed treacherously, under pretense of friendship.”  The Castilians endured much hunger on this island of Sarrangar, and a number of them died.  A ship was despatched to Mindanao to make peace, and to arrange terms of trade, and for food, and was received with apparent friendliness.  A boat with six men was sent ashore, but was attacked by the natives; one man was killed and the others badly wounded.  Failing to obtain food here, Villalobos set out with twenty-five men for the island of Santguin [Sanguir].  They anchored midway at a small island where “the natives had fortified themselves
