Having landed, they saw trees very green, and much water,
and fruits of diverse kinds.
The Admiral called to the two captains,
and to the others who leaped on shore, and to Rodrigo Escovedo,
secretary of the whole fleet,
and to Rodrigo Sanchez of Segovia,
and said that they should bear faithful testimony that he,
in presence of all, had taken, as he now took,
possession of the said island for the King and for the Queen his Lords,
making the declarations that are required,
as is now largely set forth in the testimonies which were then made in writing.
