Summary

Description
English: A four-masted jong (Javanese junk) being chased by a Portuguese vessel, in Nuño García de Toreno’s map of 1522. This scene likely depicts a junk encountered near Polvoreira (likely Pulau Berhala, 160 miles from Malacca, between Belawan, Medan, and Lumut, Perak). The junk carried 300 Javanese "Moors" (Muslims) on board and weighed about 600 tons. The Portuguese sent out small boats to approach it and ordered it to halt but it promptly opened fire on the fleet, its crew hurling down spears, arrows, stones, gunpowder pots, and flammable materials. The scene is placed in the South of Jaua (Java) and Timor because there is not enough room in the Straits of Malacca.
Bahasa Indonesia: Sebuah jong (jung Jawa) dengan empat tiang sedang dikejar oleh kapal Portugis, di peta Nuño García de Toreno tahun 1522. Pemandangan ini kemungkinan menggambarkan sebuah kapal yang dijumpai di dekat Polvoreira (kemungkinan Pulau Berhala, 160 mil dari Malaka, antara Belawan, Medan dan Lumut, Perak). Kapal tersebut membawa 300 orang "Moor" (Muslim) Jawa dan beratnya sekitar 600 ton. Portugis mengirim perahu-perahu kecil untuk mendekatinya, memerintahkannya untuk berhenti tetapi segera melepaskan tembakan ke armada, awaknya melemparkan tombak, panah, batu, pot bubuk mesiu, dan bahan yang mudah terbakar. Adegan ini ditempatkan di selatan Jaua (Jawa) dan Timor karena tidak ada cukup ruang di Selat Malaka.
