After 7 hours, she was captured, with 220 of the 600 or more on board dead. The prisoners included one of the Sultans wives and her young son.

On the voyage home there were several storms, and eventually the galleon was abandoned near Malta, and ended up wrecked on the Calabrian coast. (references)
