The captain of this vessel, they tell me, the Dutch put to death for having fled.

Two other vessels arrived at the port of Malayo on the eighth of June.

These had found occasion to fight with our fleet; and accordingly they arrived dismantled by cannon-shots, and with many wounded men.

These brought the news that only six of their vessels had fought with eight of ours and three galleys; and that their commander's ship and two others were lost, one going to the bottom and the other two being burned.

Their commander escaped in a boat which they saw was being followed by two of our galleons and a galley--although they did not know the result, since neither this one, nor two others that are lacking from the ten, have appeared here thus far.
