We found them ready, not without skill, gay and biddable.
Toward sunset came Guacanagari.

All the little shore was strewn and heaped with our matters.

And here I will say that no Indian stole that day though he might have stolen, and though our possessions seemed to him great wonders and treasure beyond estimation.

What was brought from the _Santa Maria_ lay in heaps and our men came and went.

The most of our force was ashore or in the boats; only so many on the Nina.
