When the brigantine had sailed away, we headed back inland along the same route that we’d followed before, but with a few extra men. We followed the coast of the bay that we had discovered, and, after we’d traveled four leagues, we took four Indians captive, and we showed them corn to see if they recognized it, since up to that point we hadn’t found any sign of it. They said they would take us to where there was some; and thus they took us to their village, which was at the head of the bay, not very far from where we were, and there they showed us a little bit of corn which wasn’t ready to be picked yet. There we found many merchandise crates from Spin, and in each of them there was the body of a dead man, and the bodies were covered with animal hides that had been painted. To the quartermaster it seemed that this was some kind of idolatry, and he burned the box with the bodies. We also found pieces of canvas and woolen cloth, rags that seemed to have come from New Spain; we also found traces of gold.
