Further marvels wrought by the same holy image

[In 1617 some vessels made by the governor Don Juan de Silva, for

service against the Dutch heretics, were being taken to a shipyard

for overhauling. By a sudden storm they were all wrecked, so that the

best ships that these islands ever had, or will have, were lost. In

the flagship, called the "San Salvador" (a very large, swift ship),

was a sailor named Barnabe de Castaneda, who committed himself to

the Virgin and was rescued. This chapter gives the accounts of four

other extraordinary rescues from drowning.]
