    thieves, and for the sake of that
    we called these three islands the
    Ladrones Islands”.

    which they make the cords for fastening their boats.
    Under this
    husks there is another very hard, and thicker than that of
    a walnut. They burned this second rind, and make with it
    March 18, 1521
    Under this rind there is a white marrow of a fingers thickness, which

    anyone dried it he might make bread of it.”
