No. XXI of Navarrete is a letter from Juan Lopez do Recalde to the Bishop of Burgos, of May 12th, 1521, giving him an account of the arrival of the _S. Antonio_ at Seville, 6th May, 1521, commanded by Geronimo Guerra, a relation and servant of Christoval de Haro, and of the execution of Gaspar de Quesada and others. This letter relates the story of the mutineers and those who turned back from difficulty and danger, and is naturally unfavourable to Magellan. According to Navarrete, the desertion of Magellan’s fleet by the ship _S. Antonio_, was caused by Esteban Gomez, a Portuguese pilot, who, from rivalry with Magellan, and envy at seeing others promoted instead of himself, after the executions, got up a conspiracy on board the _S. Antonio_, and proposed to return to Spain. The mutineers put Alvaro de Mezquita in irons; they then went to the coast of Guinea, and thence to Spain. When the _S. Antonio_ arrived at Seville, Alvaro de Mezquita was handed over to the authorities and kept in prison until the ship _Victoria_ arrived. Esteban Gomez, Juan do Chinchilla, Geronimo Guerra, and Francisco Angulo, were also arrested; and Magellan’s wife and family were put under surveillance to prevent their going away to Portugal. According to Herrera, Juan de Cartagena and the priest, who were left behind, did not come away with the _S. Antonio_, and orders were given to send and look for them. * * * * * More ample details of the suppression of the mutiny are given by Gaspar Correa in the following account of Magellan’s voyage, in his _Lendas da India_ (tome II, cap. xiv):—
