The Torres voyage continues over the next two months, a number of landfalls being made to replenish the ships’ food and water and take possession of the land for Spain.
This brings the Spanish in close and sometimes violent contact with local indigenous people.
Prado and Torres both record the capture of twenty people, including a pregnant woman (who will give birth several weeks later).
Prado draws a number of sketch charts of anchorages in the Gulf of Papua, several of which survive.
