56 DAHLOREN, THE DISCOVERY OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



"Nuestra Senora de la Antigua" and "San Alifonso". (Morga, p. 199. Colin. II, p. 240. 

 Bl. & Rob. XII, pp. 54, 134.) For the meeting of this fleet in the mouth of Manila Bay 

 with a ship coming from Japan and for the negotiations of the Governor with Fray Pedro 

 Burguillos and the Japanese merchants who arrived in his company, see Juan de Tor- 

 quemada, Monarquia Indiana, III, 1723, p. 371. 



On 2 1 July 1602 there sail from Manila the "San Antonio", the "Espiritu Santo", 

 Captain Löpe de Ulloa, and the "Jesus Maria", Captain Pedro Flores. The first 

 made a fortunate voyage to Acapulco; but the two others were attacked by a storm in 

 38° lat. and were compelled to turn back. The "Jesus Maria" reached the Philippines 

 with great difficulty, having been for more than förty days among the Ladrone Islands, 

 without being able to pass them, during which time it had an opportunity of recovering 

 all the Spaniards who remained alive of those who had been left with the ship "Santa 

 Margarita", and also Father Juan Pobre. — Captain Löpe de Ulloa thought to make 

 repairs in Japan and from there, having made ready, to continue his voyage. So he went 

 in search of a harbour in that kingdom, in the province of Tosa, near the place where, 

 in the year 1596, the galleon "San Felipe" entered. When the Captain observed that the 

 Japanese were thinking of treating his ship in the same way as the last one, he made his 

 way by violence out of the harbour. Both ships arrived at Manila on the same day, 

 "almost without crew and without cargo". (Morga, p. 206. Colin. II, pp. 240. 335 — 342. 

 Bl. & Rob. XII, p. 77; XV, p. 258; XXVII, p. 192.) 



1603. At the end of May two ships, under the command of Diego de Zamudio, 

 arrive at Manila from New Spain. (Morga, p. 224.) 



On 10 July Löpe de Ulloa sails from Manila with the ships "Espiritu Santo" and 

 "Jesus Maria"; two smaller vessels had left the port fifteen days earlier. The "Espiritu 

 Santo" carried Antonio de Morga, who was leaving the Philippines to occupy a post in 

 Mexico. They had not got more than 10 leagues from Manila when the two first-named 

 vessels went aground; and it was only with great difficulty that they could be floated 

 and continue the voyage (22 July). All went well until, on 10 November, in sight of 

 the American coast in 42° lat., they were attacked by a terrible storm from SSW., which 

 lasted for many days. The lightning struck the vessel twice, killed many of the crew 

 and injured many or stunned them. However, they successfully escaped the danger of 

 being driven on shore, and on 19 December they arrived at Acapulco, where they found 

 the two small vessels that had sailed earlier. Three days låter the "Jesus Maria" also 

 arrived, under the command of Löpe de Ulloa, whom they had not seen since they started 

 from the Philippines, and who had had to fight with the same storms. (Morga, p. 229.) 



1604. Two ships leave Acapulco, but their departure had been delayed, so that 

 the capitana did not reach Manila until 24 June, and the almiranta, which had rim aground 

 on Mindoro, not till 5 July. (Bl. & Rob. XIII, p. 221. Colin. II, p. 446.) 



In June the "Nuestra Senora de los Remedios" and the "San Antonio" sailed from 

 Manila under the command of General Don Diego de Mendoza. The former encountered 

 storms in 32° latitude, "before they had passed Japan": they had to cut away the main-
