Torres sails on May 1 for Manila, arriving on May 22.

He intends to personally present the captives, weapons and a detailed account to the king on his return to Spain.

His short written account of the voyage indicates this.

However, it appears there is no interest in Manila in outfitting his voyage back to Spain, and he is told his ships and men are required locally for the king’s service.
