"Where did they get the gold ?" Again like the Cuban chief this cacique waved his hand to the mountains.

"Cibao!" and then turning he too pointed to the south.

"Much gold there," said Diego Colon.

"Inland, in the mountains," quoth the Admiral, "and evidently, in very great quantity, in some land to the south! This is not Cipango, but I think that Cipango lies to the south." He asked who ruled Hayti that we called Hispaniola.

We understood that there were a number of caciques, but that for a day's journey every way it was Guacanagari's country.
"A cacique who ruled them all ?" No, there was no such thing.
"Had ships like ours and clothed men ever before come to them ?" No, never! But then he seemed to say that there was undoubtedly a tradition.
