carried to Sebu, and laid in our church, and solemn obsequies were celebrated.  It fell to me to make this journey, accompanied by Father Juan de Sanlucar, who went as superior.  The latter seeing that there was but little inclination among those Indians for conversion as long as the Mahometan rebels remained unsubdued, and that we were being occupied, not with them, but with the soldiers of the camp, ministering to them as curas (the office of a secular priest rather than ours), although he continued these labors for almost a year (for I had returned immediately with the remains), was finally obliged to retire from the field.  The camp was also withdrawn, and their fort there was dismantled.

(To be concluded.)
