When morning came, forty-nine of us leaped into the water up to our thighs, and walked through water for more than two cross-bow flights before we could reach the shore. The boats could not approach nearer because of certain rocks in the water. The other eleven men remained behind to guard the boats. When we reached land, [the natives] had formed in three divisions to the number of more than one thousand five hundred people. When they saw us, they charged down upon us with exceeding loud cries... The musketeers and crossbow-men shot from a distance for about a half-hour, but uselessly... Recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they knocked his helmet off his head twice... A native hurled a bamboo spear into the captain's face, but the latter immediately killed him with his lance, which he left in the native's body. Then, trying to lay hand on sword, he could draw it out but halfway, because he had been wounded in the arm with a bamboo spear. When the natives saw that, they all hurled themselves upon him. One of them wounded him on the left leg with a large cutlass, which resembles a scimitar, only being larger. That caused the captain to fall face downward, when immediately they rushed upon him with iron and bamboo spears and with their cutlasses, until they killed our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true guide. When they wounded him, he turned back many times to see whether we were all in the boats. Thereupon, beholding him dead, we, wounded, retreated, as best we could, to the boats, which were already pulling off.
早晨到来之际，我方49人跳进齐大腿深的水中，从离岸两弩箭距离处走向岸边。因为水中岩石缘故船无法继续前驶。船上留了11个人看守。当我们到达陆地时，当地人组成了3队总计超过1500人。他们一看到我们就大叫着向我们冲来。我方火枪和弩从远距离轰击半个小时，几乎没什么效果。认出船长后（麦哲伦），一大帮人转而攻击他敲掉了他的头盔2次。一土人挥舞竹矛扎进船长脸上，但船长随即用矛杀死了他。而后，他试着拔剑，只能拔出一半，因为他的胳膊被竹矛伤了。土人看到后，向他扑来。一人用大砍刀砍了他腿，船长脸朝下栽倒，土人随即用矛和大刀结果了他。
