Chapter XXV
FINDING young Sancho upon the _Marigalante_, I kept him beside me for information’s sake. He, too, had his stories. And he asked me how Pedro and Fernando died. In this ship were two sets of captives, animals brought from Spain and Indians from those fiercer islands to the south. The _Monsalvat_ that was a freight ship had many animals, said Sancho, cattle and swine and sheep and goats and cocks and hens, and thirty horses.
