Arrived at the beach, they were told to jump out, which they could hardly believe.
Finally, they jumped overboard, where there were many natives; among them a woman with a child in her arms, who received the two with great joy.

It appeared that she was the wife of the first native, and that he was a chief, for all respected and obeyed his orders.

They seemed to be contented and gave each other many embraces, with gentle murmurings.

The chief, pointing with his finger, seemed to be saying that the Spaniards were a good people.

Many came to where the boat was, and they showed such confidence, that when one of the Spaniards asked the mother for her baby, she gave it.
