Pigafetta’s account of Magellan’s death:
The natives continued to pursue us, and picking up the same spear four or six
times, hurled it at us again and again. Recognizing the captain, so many turned
upon him that they knocked his helmet off his head twice, but he always stood
firmly like a good knight, together with some others. Thus did we fight for more
than one hour, refusing to retire farther. An Indian hurled a bamboo spear into
the captain's face, but the latter immediately killed him with his lance, which he
left in the Indian's body. Then, trying to lay hand on sword, he could draw it out
but halfway, because he had been wounded in the arm with a bamboo spear.
When the natives saw that, they all hurled themselves upon him. One of them
wounded him on the left leg with a large cutlass, which resembles a scimitar,
only being larger. That caused the captain to fall face downward, when
immediately they rushed upon him with iron and bamboo spears and with their
cutlasses, until they killed our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true guide.
When they wounded him, he turned back many times to see whether we were all
in the boats. Thereupon, beholding him dead, we, wounded, retreated, as best
we could, to the boats, which were already pulling off."
