[The Life of Christopher Columbus from his own Letters and Journals by Edward Everett Hale]@TWC D-Link bookThe Life of Christopher Columbus from his own Letters and Journals CHAPTER VIII 11/32
"But for people of our nation, they are not arms to be feared much." These Caribs carried off both men and women on their robbing expeditions.
They slaughtered and ate the men, and kept the women as slaves; they were, in short, incredibly cruel.
Three of the captive boys ran away and joined the Spaniards. They had twice sent out expeditions after the lost captain, Diego Marquez, and another party had returned without news of him, on the very day on which he and his men came in.
They brought with them ten captives, boys and women.
They were received with great joy.
