In the same voyages and ships, and in the presidios,
port of Cavite, port of Yloylo, the royal magazines
of Manila, and Cavite, his Majesty's champans,
and in various other parts, there are usually two
hundred Indian common seamen. They formerly received
forty-eight pesos per year, and fifteen gantas of
cleaned rice per month. Now they receive the same pay
and ration while afloat, but while at anchor only
the pay, and the ration is charged to the account
of the pay. It is considered that one hundred common
seamen are always on voyages; and since these last,
as has been said above, a year more or less, it is
not thought that there should be any other course
with them. With the other hundred, however, there
is a saving of all the rations, which amount to one
thousand five hundred gantas 0 1,500 0

Along the said shores and in the said ships, there
are generally six Spanish carpenters, who formerly
received three hundred pesos and their ordinary
ration. Now they receive two hundred and fifty pesos
apiece besides their ration while afloat, and while
anchored. Fifty pesos are all that is saved from each
one, making a total of three hundred pesos

The chief calker who is generally at the port of
Cavite formerly received three hundred pesos, and
his ordinary ration of two gantas of cleaned rice
daily. Now he receives the same pay, but the revision
deprives him of the ration, which amounts to seven
hundred and thirty gantas 0 730 0

There are seven Spanish calkers in the said ports
and along the shore. They formerly received three
hundred pesos per year, and one ganta of cleaned rice
daily. Now they receive two hundred and fifty pesos,
and the same ration when afloat; but if not afloat
they do not receive that ration. By the difference in
this, as above stated, the saving in this particular
is one-half of the ration, which amounts to one
thousand two hundred and seventy-seven gantas,
besides the three hundred and fifty pesos in reals,
reckoning fifty pesos from each of the seven

There are seven Spanish coopers in the said places,
who receive the said pay and ration, and who have
been reduced to the same figures as the calkers. The
same amount is saved as in the case of the calkers
in the preceding item 350 p. 1,277 0
