When my secretary and the five men accompanying him reached the place where the Chief’s messengers led them, the Chief took the secretary by the hand and conducted him to his house, accompanied by a great throng of people. He had the people give my men something to eat, and the Indians also brought balls of spun cotton and many things made of cotton. Later in the afternoon, the Chief gave my men three very fat geese and some small pieces of gold.
