| Back | The two that had put out to sea, after a couple of miles sighted a vessel which, so far as they could make out, they judged to be one of fourteen or fifteen banks, and so she proved. As soon as the vessel discovered the galleys she went about with the object and in the hope of making her escape by her speed; but the attempt failed, for the chief galley was one of the fastest vessels afloat, and overhauled her so rapidly that they on board the brigantine saw clearly there was no possibility of escaping, and the rais therefore would have had them drop their oars and give themselves up so as not to provoke the captain in command of our galleys to anger. |

| Front | Las que salieron a la mar, a obra de dos millas descubrieron un bajel, que con la vista le marcaron por de hasta catorce o quince bancos, y así era la verdad; el cual bajel, cuando descubrió las galeras, se puso en caza, con intención y esperanza de escaparse por su ligereza; pero avínole mal, porque la galera capitana era de los más ligeros bajeles que en la mar navegaban, y así le fue entrando, que claramente los del bergantín conocieron que no podían escaparse; y así, el arráez quisiera que dejaran los remos y se entregaran, por no irritar a enojo al capitán que nuestras galeras regía. |
