Therefore — in spite of his wearing his own flesh and bones in the usual manner and being alive in them — it was certain that he was a spectre: because it 'See Note VIII. [96] THE LIVING SPECTRE was certain that his journeying could have been made only on devils' wings. The day on which this marvel happened is known most exactly: because it happened on the day after the day that the Governor of the Filipinas, Don Gdmez P^rez Dasmarinas, had his head murderously split open, and died of it, in th...e Molucca Islands; and that gentleman was killed in that bad manner on the 2 5th of Octo- ber in the year 1593.
