Relation of the expedition by Estevan Rodriguez, chief pilot of the fleet. This relation seems to have been the log kept by this pilot. Many of its entries are simply reckonings. He gives the names, tonnage, captains, and pilots of the different vessels. On the nineteenth of November the banner and standard were consecrated, and the oath taken. The fleet set sail four hours before dawn on November 21, [62] On Sunday, the twenty-sixth, the course was changed in accordance with the sealed instructions given to Legazpi. The "San Lucas" separated from the fleet December 1. On the eighth, Diego Martin, pilot of the "San Pablo," reported land but he was in error. Next day an island was sighted, in which there were "about one hundred Indians, a people well built and with long beards," for which the island was called Barbudos. "The women have pleasant faces, and these people are as dark complexioned as mulattoes. The women have little gardens. They have certain roots from which they make excellent bread, for I have tried it." [63] On the tenth they passed and named the islands Placeres and San Pablo. Other islands were passed on the twelfth and fifteenth. On the twenty-second they sighted a mountainous island to the south, whose inhabitants saluted them as "chamurre, chamurre," [64] or that is, "friends, friends!" This was the island of Guam. They found it to have a good bay and good rivers of fresh water. The products of this island are named, the people described, and the troubles there briefly enumerated. "The master-of-camp and Martin de Gueyte, with one hundred and fifty men, sacked and burned two villages." During the eleven days spent here "masses were said each day." Numerous words of the language spoken are recorded: Friend, _chamor_; good, _mauri_; hereabout, _baquimaqui_; pleasant to the taste, _mani_; take, _jo_; oil, _rana_; rice, _juay_; land, _tana_; dry cocoa, _micha_; señor, _churu_; fresh cocoa, _mana_; iron, _yrizo_; botija [a species of jar], _o_; gourd, _coca_; ship, _botus_; nail, _yuro_; salt, _azibi_; sugar-cane, _tupotipor_; fish, _bian_; no, _eri_; salt fish, _azuiban_; yam, _nica_; small, _segu_; wood, _tagayaya_; green banana, _regue_; water, _ami_; tamal, _enft_; banana, _jeta_; acorn, _puga_; net, _ragua_; pictured paper, _tricabo-tali;_ eyes, _macha_; rock, _rapia_; ears, _perucha_; paper, _afuipuri_; teeth, _nifi_; palm-leaf mat, _guafal_; hair, _chuzo_; ginger, _asinor_; hands, _catecha_; she, _reben_; foot, _ngmicha_; osier basket, _pian_; beard, _mimi_; deep, _atripe_; leg, _achumpa_; crab, _achulu_; this, _achi_; petaca [a leather covered trunk or chest], _agu_; pitcher, _burgay_; come here, _hembean;_ star, _vitan;_ moon, _uran_; sun, _afaon_; to eat, _mana_; large, _riso_. Their numbers up to ten are: _acha, gua, tero, farfur, nimi, guanan, frintin, gua [sic], ãgua, manete_. On the fourteenth of February, 1565, they sighted the Philippines. Describing the natives, Rodriguez says: "these Indians wear gold earrings, and the chiefs wear two clasps about the feet.... All the body, legs, and arms are painted; and he who is bravest is painted most." Juan de la Isla was sent with one of the small vessels to reconnoiter a large and excellent bay at some distance away. There he made blood-friendship with the natives, but one of his men was treacherously killed. Rodriguez's reckonings were taken according to the Mexican rather than the Spanish rules. Rodriguez and Goyti were commissioned to explore among certain of the islands in order to find safe channels for the ships. They found one such between Panay and another island. They passed Tandaya and Cabalian during their ten days' cruise, and the fleet, in consequence of their report sailed to the latter place. The treacherous conduct of the Portuguese to both Spaniards and natives is discovered. "The general determined to go to Betuan, which is a very rich island, whence much gold is brought," and anchor was cast before Bohol, from which place Legazpi despatched Juan de la Isla to explore westward, and Martin de Goyti eastward A small boat was despatched under Rodriguez "to discover some islands that could be seen from here. We went in the frigate, fifteen men and one Indian, who knew the language, the pilot of a junk captured by the master-of-camp and Captain Martin de Goete." This detachment coasted among various islands, among them Licoyon and Binglas. [65] They were blown out of their course by a storm. A _prau_ was sighted, but its occupants took flight, ran their vessel ashore, and hid on the island. The Spaniards went to the _prau_, and found therein a "little Indian girl of about three years, very pretty. She was hanging over the edge of the _prau_ with her body in the water, and screaming.
