As the Uraine expedition made their way to Guam the following day on March 18, 1819, the crew fired a 21-gun salute, which was immediately returned by the Spanish government. Unfortunately, two Gunners from Guam were injured during the return salute fire. They were Cecilo Pan Helina [Cecilio Pangelinan?] and Ramoun Biagoumes (Ramon Villagomez?).
Gaimard described Cecilio as “a man of colossal size and atheletic disposition, was badly burned on the chest, the stomach and the left wrist; the face, the right forearm and all the left upper arm were burned to a lesser degree. The outer layers of the skin had peeled away, with open sores in many places on the chest and lower back; where the heat had penetrated to the cellular tissue it had caused peeling around the left wrist. The thumb on the left hand was lacerated over its entire surface, which had resulted in quite severe bleeding.
Gaimard described Ramoun as, “also very tall but less muscular, had second-degree on the chest, stomach and both arms and third-dgree burns in a few places.”
