The Indians cried, "Hai! Hai!" But when the four harquebus men set up their iron rests, fixed the harquebuses, and firing cut leaves and twigs from the same tree, there was a louder crying.

And when there was dragged forth, charged with powder and fired, one of the lombards taken from the _Santa Maria_, wider yet sprang the commotion.

Pedro Gutierrez and a young cavalier from the _Nina_ deigned to show lance play, and Vicente Pinzon who had served against the Moors took a great sword and with it carved calabashes and severed green boughs.

The sword was very marvelous to them.

We might have danced for them for Spain knows how to dance, or we might have sung for them, for our mariners sing at sea.
