Some were seriously wounded; the captain and master of ouralmiranta, Joan Lopez de Serra, was shot through the thigh, and acertain Calderon was shot through one side of his shoulder and partof his arm. There were others wounded, but none seriously. Some bootywas found on the vessel, two pipes of oil and two of wine, a numberof basins, candlesticks, and brass mortars, iron in plates and bars, and some other small wares of little value. They captured twelve piecesof artillery--eight heavy and exc...ellent pieces of cast iron, and foursmall ones. Among other things captured, was found a small iron cofferwhich was kept in the after-cabin, and in which the admiral carried thepapers and commissions which the prince of Orange had given him whenhe appointed him captain of that ship. One was in his own tongue andthe other in ours, which is the one copied at the end of this relation. One or two charts were found, which they brought for Piru; these theholy Inquisition has in its possession. Then Admiral Joan de Alcegaordered a few sailors to be transferred to the ship surrendered bythe enemy, and set them to making repairs in order to take it intoManila; for its main mast and rigging were lost, and our men inboarding left nothing standing by which they could navigate.
