On the 16th we sighted land, and steered in a north-westerly direction towards it, and we saw that the land rose to the north, and that there were many shoals near it, hence we took a different tack to the south, and came upon another small island, where we dropped anchor on the same day. The name of this island is Suluan, the first one is called Yunuguan. Here we saw some canoes and approached them, and they fled. This island is 9°⅔ latitude N. and both islands are on 189° meridian longitude and are the first on the Archipelago of St Lazarus [The Philippines].
Furthermore, from the Strait of All Saints [The Magellan Strait] and Cape Hermoso to these two islands there must be 106° 30' longitude on a straight W.N.W.– E.S.E. course which that takes you there directly. Such was the course we took.
Leaving these two islands, we sailed W., and came upon the Island of Gada [Homonhon], which is uninhabited, and there we furnished ourselves with water and wood. This island is free of shoals.
From here we departed and sailed W., and came upon a large island called Seilani, which is inhabited, and contains gold. (…)
