I reached the Indian sea, I discovered many
islands, thickly peopled, of which I took
possession without resistance in the name of
our most illustrious [Spanish] Monarch...
there are mountains of very great size and
beauty...and very fruitful fields, admirably
adapted for tillage, pasture, and habitation.....
