One of the accounts of this voyage( *) relates that the captive women, who had taken refuge with the Spaniards, were persuaded by them to entice some of the Caribs to the beach.

"But these men, when they had seen our people, all struck by terror, or the consciousness of their evil deeds, looking at each other, suddenly drew together, and very lightly, like a flight of birds, fled away to the valleys of the woods.
Our men then, not having succeeded in taking any cannibals, retired to the ships and broke the Indians' canoes." (*) That of Peter Martyr.
They left Guadeloupe on Sunday, the tenth of November.

They did, however, make some stay at an island which seemed well populated.
