 Gonsales harnesses his gansas to his Engine and leaves the Moon on 29 March 1601 . He lands in China about nine days later , without re @-@ encountering the illusions of men and women he had seen on his outward journey and with the help of his Ebelus , which helps the birds to avoid plummeting to Earth as the weight of Gonsales and his Engine threatens to become too much for them . He is quickly arrested and taken before the local mandarin , accused of being a magician , and as a result is confined in the mandarin 's palace . He learns to speak the local dialect of Chinese , and after some months of confinement is summoned before the mandarin to give an account of himself and his arrival in China , which gains him the mandarin 's trust and favour . Gonsales hears of a group of Jesuits , and is granted permission to visit them . He writes an account of his adventures , which the Jesuits arrange to have sent back to Spain . The story ends with Gonsales 's fervent wish that he may one day be allowed to return to Spain , and " that by enriching my country with the knowledge of these hidden mysteries , I may at least reap the glory of my fortunate misfortunes " .

 The ships carried a total of nearly 300 people , including soldiers , artisans and craftsmen , six Catholic missionaries , eight merchants , and over a dozen women and children . Shortly after their departure , France and Spain ceased hostilities , and Louis was no longer interested in sending La Salle further assistance . Details of the voyage were kept secret so that Spain would not learn about it . La Salle 's naval commander , the Sieur de Beaujeu , resented La Salle 's keeping their destination until the party was well underway . The discord between the two intensified when they reached the island of Santo Domingo and quarreled over where to anchor . Beaujeu sailed to another part of the island , allowing Spanish privateers to capture the St. François , which had been fully loaded with supplies , provisions , and tools for the colony .
