When the Spaniards were near them, they vainly shot off their arrows to the sound of their instruments.

From the boats four musket-shots were fired in the air, and they returned to the ships.
Soon afterwards the captain ordered them to return to the shore, taking the three boys, that the natives might see them, and be assured that no harm had been done to them, the fear of which was supposed to be the cause of all this disturbance.

When they arrived, the boys called to their fathers, who, though they heard them, did not know their sons by the voices or by sight, because they were dressed in silk.

The boats came nearer, that they might get a better view; and, when the boys were known, two natives waded into the water up to their breasts, showing by this, and by their joy during all the time the sweet discourse lasted, that they were the fathers of the boys.
The natives were given to understand that the muskets were fired because they fired the arrows.

To this they answered that it was not them, but others of a different tribe; and that, as they were friends, they should be given the three boys.
