I answered, "Nothing!"

Then they told me, I should be sent to Majorca, to answer before the

Inquisition.

Then the Justice, or Chief Officer, of Iviza brought me back to Genoa;

requesting to have me chained in a galley: which the Captain did,

asking the Justice, Who should be my surety for running away?

He demanded, If there were not a spare chain?

He said, "Yes." Then he commanded a chain to be brought forth; and

chained me at the sixth oar before: where I rowed until we came to

the Port of Spine [_later called_ Portpin; _now the_ Bay of Palma] in

Majorca, guarding me with 14 gallies.

Then were the Officers of the Inquisition sent for by the Captain,

which came the second day after our coming there [_i.e._, _to Palma_]:

and at their coming, they offered me the _Pax_, which I refused to

touch.
