		In 1895, Spain had not defined "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi." The negotiations between Spain and the US in 1898 clearly specified that it was located on the "20th parallel of the North latitude" and officially recognized that the islands north of this line belonged to Japan.
		Boats would not cross the Balintang Channel into the Bashi Channel only to then cross the Bashi Channel to reach the Pacific, because such a route would encounter a powerful counter-current branching off the Japan Current which flows from the east to the west, making it an inappropriate route.
		Based on this, Spain probably conducted its negotiations with both Japan and the US based on the contemporary understanding of what constituted the navigable sea lane: "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi" was the channel along the 20th parallel, which today is called the Balintang Channel.

	USS Gunnel SS-253 / Fourth War Patrol
		While heading to sea through the channel buoys the crew were informed that Gunnel's orders were to proceed to the Southwest Pacific, conducting combat patrols enroute in designated areas of the Philippines and the Indonesian archipelago.
		After leaving the channel and setting course for the Philippines these happy thoughts were interrupted by the raucous "ahooga" of the diving alarm and the voice of the Officer of the Deck(OOD) shouting over the Intercom,"Submarine half mile on the port beam!" The OOD, Lieut.(jg) Thomas"Buck" Stevens, a "Southern boy from Atlanta"(his words), was unflappable.
		Tall, rangy and a former professional baseball player, he was alert and decisive, losing not a moment in turning the boat toward the periscope to minimize the risk of being hit by an incoming torpedo, while simultaneously submerging Gunnel.

		It was almost five in the afternoon, and the tide was retreating to expose the jagged edges of the shallow shores of Centro on the Island Municipality of Sabtang.
		The last falowa from Ivana which lies across the treacherous Balintang Channel had just arrived, unloading a few passengers and several cartons of a vile, clear and burning poison called gin – a commodity which on these islands is said to be more valuable than rice.
