Rizal published in Paris in 1890.--_Pablo Pastells, S.J._ [33] His death occurred in Mactan, on the morning of April 28, 1521.--_Pablo Pastells, S.J._ [34] Chirino writes here somewhat inaccurately.

Engaging in a wrangle between two tribes, Magellan was lured into a marsh at Mactan, and there, while watching a battle to see how great the Filipinos could be in war, he was slain with bamboo lances sharpened and hardened in fire.
