4/38 I have just pointed out to Capitano De San Benavides the precise outcome of this attack. Until a few moments ago we shared the delusion that the troops on Fernando de Noronha believed we were now on our way to a Brazilian port. More than that, we know now that they have obtained news--probably through a traitor to our cause--of the _Andros-y-Mela's_ voyage. They were prepared for her coming. |
