...Ulithi, during the period between January 6 and 23, the galleon San Cristobal piloted by Gines de Mafra (who had been a member of the crew of the Magellan expedition in 1519-1522) is separated from the fleet during a severe storm.

This ship ultimately reaches the island of Mazaua, the anchorage of the Magellan expedition in March-April 1521, where Magellan and his crew had been received with great "urbanity," as chronicled by Antonio Pigafetta, the Vicentine diarist who wrote the most comprehensive eyewitness account of Magellan's voyage.

This is the second visit of de Mafra to this island, which is sometimes mistakenly identified today as Limasawa in southern Leyte; the location and identity of Mazaua remains a mystery.

The men spend the next four to six months at the hospitable little isle.

De Mafra, in his account, relates he again met the "king" of Mazaua, named "Siaiu" by Pigafetta, who showed to de Mafra the items Magellan had given him as gifts, namely a "robe of red and yellow cloth, made in the Turkish fashion, and a very fine red cap," as enumerated by Pigafetta.
