The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898

CHAPTER III
2/8

In the medial region of this mountain they raise the clove-trees, which are like laurel trees, the leaves being a little narrower and longer.

This island has five fortresses; the principal one is called Talangame, and another San Pedro.

The Dutch have three: that of Malayo, which is the principal one; another called Tacome, and another Toleco, which is of little importance.
The island of Tidore is distant about two leguas from this, and, although smaller, has about the same aspect.

Your Majesty has a fort there, and the king of Tidore has another.

The Dutch have two others, which they call Great and Little Mariaco.
