"They made as much of a feast of them as we would do of pheasants." "There are in this island and the others numberless birds, of those of our country, and many others which never were seen there.

Of our domestic birds, none have ever been seen here, except that in Zuruquia there were some ducks in the houses, most of them white as snow, and others black." They coasted along this island for several days, to the place where the Admiral had left his settlement.

While passing the region of Xamana, they set ashore one of the Indians whom they had carried off on the first voyage.

They "gave him some little things which the Admiral had commanded him to give away." Another account adds that of the ten Indian men who had been carried off on the first voyage, seven had already died on account of the change of air and food.

Two of the three whom the Admiral was bringing back, swam ashore at night.
