...they drop down and reach Saranggani.

The San Cristobal, to the delight and relief of everyone, appears out of nowhere around the first week of July, bringing food from Mazaua.

The San Juan and San Cristobal leave for Leyte on August 4.

A Portuguese contingent arrives on August 7, and delivers a letter from Jorge de Castro, governor of the Moluccas, demanding an explanation for the presence of the fleet in Portuguese territory.

López de Villalobos responds, in a letter dated August 9, that they are not trespassing and are perfectly within the Demarcation Line of the crown of Castile.

The San Juan leaves for Mexico on August 27, with Bernardo de la Torre as captain.

Another letter from Castro arrives in the first week of September with the same protest, and López de Villalobos writes a reply dated September 12 with the same message as his first.

He quits Sarranggani to go to Abuyog, Leyte with his remaining ships, the San Juan and the San Cristobal but again, the fleet cannot make headway because of unfavorable winds.
