Another relation of this voyage was presented by Vicente de Nápoles in 1634, in an investigation at Madrid. Early in the voyage the ships become separated, and Saavedra's vessel never again sees its companions. He tells of seeing "an island which is called Mondaña, and which the Portuguese call Mindanao."

And all the while in the plains the shapes of cities came looming out of the dusk.
