ABSTRACT
This gentleman says that he was in that city when the corsair entered and took it, and he and the president and other persons fled by sea to a safe place. The enemy met with no resistance, nor was there powder with which to offer any. Only Bachellor Hurtado was killed in his house by a stray cannonball. The people saved themselves, the women, gold, plate and jewels. Those who were in the fort escaped by way of certain of its passages.
