26. According to
Pigafetta:
“The islanders were not terrified, they replied that if we had
lances, so also had they, although only of reeds, and wood
hardened with fire. They asked however that we should not
them by night, but wait for daylight, because they were
expecting reinforcement, and would be in greater number. This
they said with cunning, to excite us to attack them by night
supposing that we were ready; but they wished this because
they had dug ditches between their houses and the beach,
they hoped that we should fall into them.”

27. Pigafetta romanticized parts of
the battle, especially Magellan’s
Death
“Whilst the Indians were thus
overpowering him, several
times he turned around us to
see if we were all in safety,
as though his obstinate fight
had no other object than to
give an opportunity for the
retreat of his men.”
