A four-masted jong (Javanese junk) being chased by a Portuguese vessel, in Nuño García de Toreno’s map of 1522. This scene likely depict 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, 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 at the South of Jaua (Java) and Timor because there is not enough room in the Straits of Malacca.
