But _Magellanus_ enter’d the great South-Sea with three Sail, on the 25. of _October_, where the Sea-men suffer’d extremely by excessive Heat, Drought, and Famine, three Moneths and twenty Days, without sight of Land: And now, their Shooes, and the Leather which cover’d their Shields, began also to grow scarce (which before had been counted a Dainty) when they discover’d two Islands lying two hundred Leagues distance one from another, yet both Desolate and Barren, wherefore they were call’d the _Unfortunate Isles_: After that, they came amongst a great number of Islands, whose Inhabitants were much inclin’d to Thievery; for which cause they Denominated them _Ladrones_, the chiefest Island call’d _Borneo_, hath two hundred fifty four Leagues in Circumference, whereon a Tree grows, whose Leaves when faln off, seem to be alive and creep like Worms. The King of this Island entertain’d the _Spaniards_ very courteously, two Elephants bringing his Presents to them on the Shore, out of a City consisting of twenty thousand Houses. [Sidenote: _Magellanus_ slain.] [Sidenote: _Spaniards_ murdered.] [Sidenote: An end of the Voyage about the world.] Near _Borneo_ are two lesser Islands, call’d, _Zubo_ and _Matan_; The King of _Zubo_ freely submitted himself to the _Spaniards_, and _Magellanus_ leaving his Fleet at Anchor in the Haven, went with his own and other _Indian_ Boats, and attended with some of the _Zubensers_ to _Matan_, where setting a Village on Fire, he carry’d great Riches from thence: This not satisfying, he resolv’d within eight days to set upon the Royal Head-City; but the King in his own Defence, Encountering with _Magellanus_, slew him, and seven _Spaniards_ more, besides twenty two dangerously wounded; those which escap’d by flight, got to _Zubo_, where being invited to Dinner by the King, they were all of them (in stead of a second Course) Murther’d at Table. The occasion of this was out of Revenge, because the _Spaniards_ had fall’n too foul upon their Women and Maids, Devirginating, and forcing them to their Pleasure, than which rudeness nothing was among them more Detestable. The Sea-men weakned by these Misfortunes, were necessitated to burn their third Ship, call’d, _St. Jago_; but Sailing to the _Molucco_ Islands with the other two, they Freighted them both with Cloves; with which the Ship _Trinitas_ Sail’d to _New-Spain_ through the South-Sea, and the _Victoria_, Commanded by _John Sebastian de Lano_ went the same way which the _Portuguese_ us’d, and so to St. _Lucar de Barrameda_, near _Sivile_, where he came to Anchor with his Ship and eighteen Men.
