They are content with so little that in so large a country tliey have rather super fluity than scarceness, so that they seem to live in the golden world without toil, living in open gardens, not intrenched with dikes, divided with hedges or de fended with walls. They deal truly one with another, without laws, without books .and without judges. They take him for an evil and mischievous man who t.aketh pleasure in doing hurt to an other,and albeit they delight not in super fluities, yet they make provision for the increase of such roots whereof they make their bread, contented with such simple diet whereby health \is preserved and disease avoided.” Mucli of this picture m.ay be overcol- ored by the imagination, but it is gener- erally confirmed by contemporaiy his torians. They all concur in representing the life of these islanders as approach ing to the golden state of poetical felici ty; living under the absolute but patri archal and easy rule of their caciiiues, free from pride, with few wants, an abundant country, a li.appily tempered climate and a natural disposition to care less and indolent enjoyment. CHAPTER XI. COASTING OF HISPANIOLA. When the weather became favorabh Columbus made another attempt on the the 14th of December to find tlio island of Babeque, but was again baffled by adverse winds. In the c( gave the name of Tortugas. The lives had fled to the rocks and forests, and alarm fires blazed along the heights. The country was so beautiful that ' gave to one of the valleys the name Valle de Paraiso, or the Vale of Para dise, and called alquiver, after provinces of Spain.

They procured but little gold in this lace, though whatever ornaments the natives possessed they readily gave away. The region of promise lay still further ou, and one of the old counselors of the cacique told Columbus that he would soon arrive a t islands rich in the precious ore. Before tearing this place, the admiral caused a large cross to be erected in the center of the village, ai from the readiness with which the I dians assisted, and their implicit imit •ns of the Spaniards Spaniards in their acts inferred that it would be an ;ter to convert them all to Chris- S t y . On the I9th of December they made sail before daylight, but with an un favorable wind, and ou the evening of the 20th they anchored in a fine harbor, to which Columbus gave the name of St. Thomas, supposed to be what a t present is called the Bay of Acul. It was sur rounded by a beautiful and well peopled country. The inhabitants came off, some in canoes, some swimming, bringing fruits of various unknown kinds, of great fragance and flavor. These they gave freely with whatever else they possessed, especially their golden ornaments, which they saw were particularly coveted by the strangers. There was a remarkable frankness and generosity about these people; they had no idea of tnifflc, but gave away every thing with spontaneous liberality. Columbus would not permit his people, however, to take advantage of tills free disposition, but ordered that something should alw.ays be given in i change. Several of the neighboring ciques visited th and inviting ges, where, c.. were most hospitably On the 22d of December, a large canoe filled with natives came on a mission from a gi’and cacique named Qua gari, wiio commanded all the island.

A friendly intercorrrse soon took place, anti the ships were visited by a cacique ol the neighborhood. From this chieftaii: and his counselors Columbus had fur ther information of tho island of B.i- beque, which was described as lying ai no gi-e.at distance. No mention is afterward made of tlii'- island, nor does it appear tliat bo tnatie any frrrtlier attempt to seek it. No such island exists in the ancient rharts, ai d it is probable that this was one of the numerous misinterpretations of Indie r words which led the first discoverer into so many fruitless researches.

It was the largest and best built tow’n they had yet seen. The caciqu£ received them iu a kind of public square, which had been srvept and prepared for the occasion, and treated them with great honor, giving to each a dress of '■otton. The inhabitants crow’ded around them, bi-inging provisitmS anil leiiesla- ments of var-ious kinds. The sean were received into their houses as disi guished guests; they gave them \ ments of cotton and wdiatever else peared to have value in their eyes, ing nothing in return, but if an; were given appearing to treasure as a sacred relic. The cacique would have detained all niglit, b u t their orders obliged them to return. On parting w ith them, he_ gave them presents of parrots and pieces of gold for the admiral, and they were attended to their boats hy a crowd of the natives, carrying the presents for them, and vying with each other in ren- dei-ing them service. During their absence, the admiral had been visited by a great number of canoes and several inferior caciques; all as sured him that the island abounded with wealth; they talked especially of Oibao, a region in the interior, farther to the east, the cacique of which, as far as they could be under.stood, had banners of wrought gold. Columbus, deceiving himself as usual, fancied that this name Cibao must he a corruption of Cipango, and that this chieftain with golden ban ners must be identical with the magnifi cent prince of that island mentioned by Marco Polo. _______ On the morning of the 24th of De cember Columbus set sail from Port St. Thomas before sunrise and steered to the eastward, with an intention of an choring at the harbor of the cacique (xuacanagari. The wind was from the land, but so light as scarcely to fill the sails, and the ships made but little prog ress. At 11 o’clock at night, being Christmas eve, they were within a league or a league and a half of the resi dence of the cacique, and Columbus, who had hitherto kept watch, finding the sea calm and smooth and the ship almost motionless, retired to rest, not having slept the preceding night. He was, in general, extremely wakeful on his coast ing voyages, passing whole nights upon deck in all weathers, never trusting to the watchfulness of others where there was any difficulty or danger to be pro vided against. In the present instance ried the vessel quietly, but with force, upon a sandbank. The heedless hoy ha® not noticed the breakers, although they made a roar-ing that might have been heard a league. No sooner, however, did he feel the rudder sti Ae, and hear the tumult of the rushing sea, than he began to cry for aid. Columbus, whose careful thoughts never permitted him to sleep profoundly% was the first on deck. The master of the ship, whose duty it was to have been on watch, next made his appearance, followed by others of the crew, half awake. The admiral ordered them to take the boat and carry out an anchor astern, to w-arp the vessel off. The master and the sailors sprang into the boat, but, confused, as men are apt to be when suddenly awakened by an alarm, instead of obeying the com mands of Columbus they rowed off to the other caravel, about half a league to windward. In the meantime the master had reached the caravel and m;rde known the perilous state in which he had left the vessel. He was reproached with his lusillauimous desertion. The com- aander of the c aravel manned his boat ,nd hastened to the relief of the admiral, m a ster covered lie ship, the ring set lier more upon the The admiral, seeing that his boat deserted him, that the ship had swung across the stream, and that the water was continually gaining upon her, irdered the mast to be cut away in the ) of liglitening her sufficientlj- to ; her off. Every effort was iu vain, keel was firmly bedded in the sand. The shock had opened several seams, while the swell of the breakers, striking her broadside, left her each moment more and more aground until she fell over on one side. Fortunately the weather continued calm. Otherwise the ship must have gone to pieces, and the whole crew might liave perished amid the c u rrents a n d breakers. The admiral and his men took refuge on ho.ard the caravel. Diego de Arana, chief judge of the armament, and Pedro Gutierrez, tire king’s butler, were imme diately sent on shore as envoys to the cacique Guacauagari, to inform him of the intended visit of the admiral and of his disastrous shipwreck. In the mean time, as a light wind hud sprung up from shore and the admiral was ignorant of his situatioir and of the rocks and hanks that might be lurking around him, he lay to until dayliglit. The habitation of the cacique was about a league and a half from the wreck. When he heard of the misfor tune of his guest he manifested the ut most affliction and even sired tears. He immediately sent all his people, with all the canoes, hirge and small, that could he mustered; and so active were they in their assistance that in a little while the vessel was unloaded. The cacique liiui- self and his brothers and relatives ren dered all the aid in their power, both on sea and land, keeping vigilant guard that everything should be conducted with order and the property sec from inj ury or theft. From time to he sent some one of his family or s principal person of his attendants to con sole and cheer the admiral, assuring him that everything he possessed should he at h'rs disposal. Never, in a civilized country, were the vaunted rites of hospitality more scrupu lously observed than by this unculti vated .savage. All the effects landed from the ships were deposited near his dwelling, and an armed guard surround ed them all night until houses could he prepared in which to store thei municated. W hen he learned its pur port, and found th a t the adm iral was extrem e ly desirous of procuring gold, he assured him by signs th a t there was a place not f a r off, among the mountains, where i t abounded to such a degree as to he held in little value, and promised to procure him thence as much as he de- sireA The place to w hich he alluded, and which he called Oibao, was in fact a m o u n tainous region afterw a rd fount to contain valuable mines; but Colum bus still confounded the name with tha: of Cipango. Guacanagi isit his residenc he had prepared a collation, as choice and abundant as his simple means af forded, consisting of utias, or conys, fish, roots and various fruits. He did everything in his power to honor his guest and cheer him under his misfor tune, showing a warmth of sympathy, yet delicacy of attention, which could not have been expected from his savage state. Indeed, there was a degree of in nate dignity and refinement displayed in his manners that often sirrprised tha Spaniards. He was remarkably nice and decorous in his mode of eating. which was slow and with moderation, washing his hands when he had finished and rubbing them with sweet and odor iferous herbs, which Columbus supposed was done to preserve their delicacy and softness. He was served with great deference by his subjects, and conducted himself toward them with a gracious and princelike majesty. His whole de portrnent, in the enthusiastic eyes of Columbus, betokened the inbo: and dignity of lofty lineage. In fact, the sovereignty among the peo ple of this island was hereditary, and they had a simple but sagacious mode of maintaining, iu some degree, the verity of descent. Ou the d ' ' without cliildren ins The extreme kindi the gentleness of his ties of gold w hich were dail of the cacique, s of his people, the quanti- Id which were daily brought to iged for the veriest trifles, and rmation continually received of sources of wealth in the interior of this island, all contributed to console the ad miral for his misfortune. The ship-wrecked crew also became ascinated with their easy and idle mode life. Exempted by their simpl m the cares and toils which nature. ,e d e a th of a caciqi authority j from the cares and toils w civ vuan inflicts upon himself by his artificial wants, the existence of islanders seemed to the Spaniards like a pleasant dream. They disquieted them selves about nothing. A few fields, cul tivated almost without labor, furnished the roots and vegetables which formed a great part of their diet. Their rivers and coasts abounded with fish; their were laden with fruits of goldei ing hue, and heightened by a tr n to delicious flavor an'3rfragran( Softened by the indulgence- of and by a voluptuous climate, £ part of their day was passed in indolent repose, and iu the evenings they danced in their fragrant groves, to their national songs or the sound of their sylvan drums. Such was the indolent and holiday life of these simple people, which, if it had not the great scope of enjoyment nor the high seasoned poignancy of pleasure which attends civilization, was certainly destitute of most of its arti ficial miseries. The venerable Las Casas, speaking of their perfect nakedness, ob serves it seemed almost as if they were existing iu the state of primeval inno cence of our first parents, before their fall brought sin into the world. He mi^ht have added that they seemed exempt likewise from the penalty in flicted on the children of Adam, that they sliould eat their bread hy the sweat of their brow. When the Spanish mariners looked most likely to be of his blood, for- they hardships that must still be their lot if likely to be of his blood, for tliey observed that a hrother's reputed chil dren may by accident liave no consan guinity with their uncle; hut those ol his sister must certainly be the children of their mother. The form of govern ment was completely despotic; the ca ciques had entire control over the lives, the property and even the religion of their subjects. They hud few laws, and ruled according to their judgment and their will; Imt they ruled mildly, and were implicitly and cheerfully obeyed. Throughout the course of the disastrous history of these islanders after their dis covery by the Europeans there are con tinual proofs of their affectionate and litylity to theirheir cacic devoted fide to t caciques. After the collation. Guacanagari ducted Columbus to’^the beautiful grov( which surrounded his residence.

No sooner had he retired, steersman gave the helm in cha of the ship boys and went to sleep. This was in direct violation of an invariable order of the admiral that the helm should never be intrusted to the boys. The rest of the mariners who had the watch took like advantage of the ab sence of Columbus, and in a little whih the whole crew was buried in sleep.

The sailors who came from the shore informed the admiral that considerable quantities of gold had been brought to barter, and large pieces were eagerly given for the merest trifle.

He sent on board t caravel for a Moorish how and a quiver of arrows, and a Castilian who had served iu the wars of Granada and was skillful in tho use of them. When the cacique beheld the accuracy with whicli this man used his weapons, he was great ly surprised, being himself of an un war- like cliaracter and little accustomed to the use of arms. He told the admiral that the Carihs, who often made de scents upon his territory .and carried ofl his subjects, were likewise armed with bows and arrows. Columbus assured him of the in-otection of the Ciistilian monarchs, who would destroy tlie Oa- ribs, for he let him know that he had weapons far more tremendous, against which there was no defense. In prool of this he ordered a Lombard or heavy cannon, and an arquebus, to he dis- OiThearing the report the Indii to the gi-ound as though they had been struck hy a thunderbolt, and when they saw the effect of the hall, rending and shivering the trees like a stroke of light ning, they were filled with dismay. Be ing told, however, that the Spaniards would defend them with these arms against their dreaded enemies the Caribs, their alai-m was changed into exultation, considering themselves under the pro tection of the sons of heaven, who had come from the skies armed with thundei and lightning. The cacique now presented Columbus with a mask carved of wood, with the eyes, ears and various other parts of gold. He hung plates of the same metal around his neck, and placed a land of golden coronet upon his head. He dispensed presents also among the followers of the admiral, acquitting himself in all things ■with a munificence that would have done honor to an accomplished prince in civilized life. Whatever trifles Columbus gave in re turn were regarded with reverence as celestial gifts. The Indians, in admir ing the articles of European manufac ture, continually repeated the word tu- rey, which in their language signifies heaven. They pretended to distinguish the different qualities of gold by the smell. In the same way, when any arti cle of tin, of silver or other white metal was given them, to wliich they were un accustomed, they smelled it and declared it “ turey,” of excellent quality, giving in exchange pieces of the finest gold. Ev erything in fact from the hands of the Spaniards, The solicitude expressed by many of his people to be left behind, added to the friendly and pacific character of the na- suggested to Columbus the auing the germ of a imbus germ of a future lolony. The wreck of the caravel would iffovd materials to construct a fortress, which might be defended by her guns and supplied with her ammunition; and he could spare provisions enough to maintain a small garrison for a year. The people who thus remained on the island could explore it and make them selves acquainted with its mines and other sources of wealth; they might at the same time procure by traffic a large quantity of gold from the natives; they could learn their language and accustom themselves to their habits and manners 80 as to be of great use in future inter course. In the meantime the admiral could return to Spain, report the success of his enterprise and bring out re-en forcements. No sooner did this idea break upon the mind of Columbus than he set about accomplishing it with his accustomed promptness and celerity. The wreck was brolremip and brought piecemeal to shore, and a site chosen and prepara tions made for the erections of a tower. When Guacanagari was informed of the intention of the admiral to leave a part of his men for the defense of the island from the Carib's, while he returned to his country for more, he was greatly overjoyed. His subjects manifested, equal delight at the idea of retaining these wonderful people among them, and at the prospect of the future arrival of the admiral with ships freighted with hawks’ bells and other precious articles. They eagerly lent their assist ance in building the fortress, little dreaming that they were assisting to place on their necks the galling yoke of perpetual and toilsome slavery. The preparations for the fortress were scarcely commenced when certain In dians, arriving at the harbor, brought a report that a great vessel, like those of the admiral, had anchored in a river at the eastern end of the island. These tidings for a time dispelled a thousand uneasy conjectures which had harassed the mind of Colnmbi B, even a ri occult and supernatural lelled of turey. rusty piece of iron, an a head of a nail, had s value and iy. Hawks’ bells, how ever, were sought by them with a mania only equaled by that of the Spaniards for gold. They could not contain their ecstasies at the sound, dancing and play ing a thousand antics.
