Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Arriving in the Philippines with his crew reduced to 150, the forceful mariner persuaded a local ruler, Rajah Huambon, to adopt Christianity and become a subject of Spain. In return Magellan agreed to lead an attack on Huambon's enemy Lapu-Lapu, ruler of the neighboring island of Mactan. . . . With Magellan dead, Juan Sebastian Elano assumed command and, losing more men to storms and starvation, rounded the Cape of Good Hope with only rice to eat, returning with just eighteen men to Spain two years after their departure." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
