or those idolators killed them for hatred of their
teachings. As much help was taken there as possible from Sugbu. The
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,

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

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
