December—

On the 2nd of December we did not take the sun, but we went to the N.N.E., and were in 47⁠1⁄4°, and this day we found ourselves that much ahead,⁠[446] as all this country is in the same altitude.

On the

3rd,

 we went N.W.,

and found ourselves in

 46° 30′.

And in this neighbourhood we found an islet with trees on it. It is uninhabited; and we took soundings at it, and found no bottom, and so we went on our course. We called this islet San Pablo, having discovered it on the day of his conversion, and it is ...⁠[447] leagues from that of Tiburones.

In this latitude we found an uninhabited island, where we caught many sharks, and therefore we gave it the name of Isle of Tiburones, and it is with the Strait N.W. and S.E. 1⁄4 E. and W., and it is in 10⁠2⁄3° S. latitude, and is distant ... leagues from the Ladrone Islands.

On the 6th (March), to W., in 13°. This day we saw land, and went to it, and there were two islands, which were not very large; and when we came between them, we turned to the S.W., and left one to the N.W., and then we saw a quantity of small sails coming to us, and they ran so, that they seemed to fly, and they had mat sails of a triangular shape, and they went both ways, for they made of the poop the prow, and of the prow the poop, as they wished, and they came many times to us and sought us to steal whatever they could; and so they stole the skiff of the flag-ship, and next day we recovered it; and there I took the sun, and one of these islands is in 12⁠2⁄3°, and the other in 13° and more (N. latitude); and this island of 12° is with that of Tiburones W.N.W. and E.S.E. (and it appears to be 20 leagues broad at the N. end), from the island of 12° we sailed on the 9th of March, in the morning, and went W. 1⁄4 S.W.

The islands of Ladrones are 300 leagues from Gilolo.
