chief commander in this was Captain Chaves, encomendero of Caragan, who was living in Sugbu. He performed good services, repairing as much as possible the evil and harm that had been begun. Afterward, the commander-in-chief, Martin Larios, went with more soldiers to punish those Indians. It was reported as certain that those Indians, desirous of throwing off the yoke from themselves, revolted because of the result in Solog, aroused by what they saw in Jolo, among a people less resolute than themselves, as well as by the lack of bravery that they had witnessed in the Spaniards. The natives gathered, and held assemblies and tried to ally themselves with the Joloans, Mindanaos, and all the other neighboring natives that could help them. Things were not in the condition that they wished; so they were gathering, and biding their time. The above opportunity was presented, and they hurled themselves to their own greater loss, since they began what they could not finish. It was permitted by God, so that the many souls whom the fathers have baptized and hope to baptize there may not apostatize; for thereabout are multitudes of heathen Indians, among whom the worship of Mahomet has not yet entered, and with the care of the fathers the harvest, without doubt, will be very plentiful. The Recollect fathers returned to visit, or rather, to rebuild their house burned in Sugbu. They built it better, and roofed it with tile, whereby it will be safer than a roofing of nipa, which is so exposed to fire and flames. In August, 1629, the governor sent Captain Don Sebastian de Libite--a very noble Navarrese knight, who had been a very good soldier in Flandes--to the Pintados as commander-in-chief. He went with his wife and household to the city of Santisimo Nombre de Jesus. The weather was very stormy, and they were often menaced by death. This lady, Dona Catalina de Aguilar, and her whole household were very devoted to the most Holy Child, and called upon Him with great anxiety. Finally, in a disastrous storm that struck them, where death was facing them, this lady said to her husband: "Listen, Don Sebastian, promise something to the Holy Child, so that He may help us, and may allow us to see Him." He promised one hundred pesos. "What, no more than that?" replied Dona Catalina; "If we are drowning, for what do we love Him?" Finally, he promised five hundred pesos. The most Holy Child beheld their devotion, and miraculously saved them from their danger and conveyed them safe to Sugbu, where they fulfilled their vow. And it is a fact that although they were persons of great wealth of spirit and nobility, they are people who have less of the temporal. But what they possess is greater, which, at the end, will be a pledge of their reaching heaven.
