92 DAHLGREN, THE DISCOVERY OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



the two ships made the voyage, for the capitana, whichsai led from Lampon, put back at 

 Cavite, and the almiranta, which sailed from Cavite, put back at Lampon. On the latter 

 was the deposed Governor, Diego de Salcedo, who in consequence of conflicts with the 

 archbishop and the priests had been accused of heresy and imprisoned by the Inquisition 

 in the September of the preceding year. After the return of the vessel, he was again cast 

 into prison, but was a second time dispatched to Mexico in the following year, 1670, when 

 he died on the voyage, on 24 October, in the northern latitude, "very well prepared, and 

 as a good Christian". (Bl. & Rob. XXXVII, p. 275. Le Gobien, Hist. des isles Marianes, 

 Paris 1700, p. 175.) 



1671. The "Nuestra Sehora del Buen Socorro" sails from Acapulco and, on 9 June, 

 calls at the Marianne Islands, where four Jesuit fathers were landed. In the September 

 of the same year the galleon "Nuestra Sehora de la Concepciön" was destroyed by fire 

 at the port of Cavite, "one of the largest and finest which had been built in these islands; 

 it had served, with prosperous voyages, on the trade-route to New Spain". (Montero. 

 I. p. 343. Bl. & Rob. XLII, p. 133.) 



1672. The galleon "San Telmo", which had sailed for New Spain in charge of 

 General Antonio Nieto, had to return to Cavite. Very soon af terwards the galleon "San 

 Antonio" was launched, in order to make a voyage under the command of General Don 

 Juan Dukan. The latter reaches New Spain. (Bl. & Rob. XLII, pp. 133, 140.) 



After Father Sanvitores had suffered martyrdom on the Mariannes, on 1 April 

 1672, there arrived the galleon "San Diego", whose captain, Leandro Coelho, landed a 

 detachment of soldiers to punish the murderers, and afterwards continued his voyage 

 to the Philippines. (Montero. I, p. 345. Le Gobien, p. 181.) 



1673. The "San Antonio", under the command of Juan Duran, on the way from 

 Acapulco, arrives at Guam on 22 May, and departs thence a few days låter for the 

 Philippines. The captain shewed great kindness to the missionaries and gave them a 

 horse, which aroused the great admiration of the natives. (Le Gobien, p. 202.) 



1674. The "Buen Socorro", which had sailed from Acapulco, arrived at the 

 Mariannes on 1 6 June. While lying at anchor of f Agana on Guam it was attacked by a 

 gale, which drove the ship to sea. The captain, Don Damian de Esplana, who was 

 on land, was compelled to stay there, while the vessel continued its voyage to Manila. 

 (Le Gobien, p. 216.) 



The "San Telmo", General Tomas de Endaya, after a prosperous voyage, arrived 

 at New Spain. (Bl. & Rob. XLII, p. 146.) 



1675. The vessel just named sails from Acapulco and puts in at the Mariannes 

 on 4 June. (Montero. I, p. 346.) 



1676. This year, too (on 10 June), there arrives a vessel from Acapulco at the 

 Mariannes: it was commanded by Don Antonio Nieto. (Montero. I, p. 346. Le 

 Gobien, p. 243.)
