cense permitted to them in seeing
that there was no attempt made in Manila to check them.

On Sunday, December 3, 1634, the Mindanaos arrived with eighteen
galleys at the village of Ogmuc, leaving behind in that of Baybay
the rest of the vessels which they brought in their fleet. Fifty
of our Indians went out to resist them, but being unable to fight
so many, they gradually retired to a little fort, possessed by the
village. They thought that they would be able to resist the pirates
there, being encouraged by their minister, Father Juan del Carpio, of
the Society of Jesus; and they did so for some time, until the Moros,
knowing that the church was higher than the fort, entered it and our
men could not reach them with their shots. They planted three pieces
in a convenient place at the church, in order to do great damage to
those in the fort; and firing without cessation, they did not allow
our men to fire a shot through its loopholes and windows. Others
of the enemy hastened by another side to gather bundles of thatch by
uncovering the roofs of the houses; and by fastening together what wood
and bamboo they could gather, and pushing this contrivance toward the
fort, they set it afire. The fire burned a quantity of rice and abaca
(which is the hemp of this country), and many men were choked by the
smoke. The besieged, seeing that the fire had caught the timber-work
[of the fort], and that they were being inevitably killed without any
chance to defend themselves, displayed a signal for surrender and in
fact did so.

They were all captured; and a great contest arose among the enemy as to
who should have Father Carpio as his captive. In this contention they
had recourse to the Mindanao captain, and he ordered that the father
be killed. That they did very gladly, and beheaded him and carried his
head back to present it as a spoil to their king, Cachil Corralat. The
latter had charged them not to leave alive any religious or Spaniard,
for so had he vowed to their false prophet Mahomet in an illness that
he had had. They took the others captive, and sacked and burned all
the village. From that place they sailed out and committed the same
destruction in the villages of Soyor, Binnangan, Cabalian, Canamucan,
and Baybay. But they were so stoutly resisted in the village of
Inibangan in [the island of] Bohol, and in Dapitan, that they retired
but little the gainers; for those Indians are very valiant, and very
different in valor f
