had been purchased of the Indians.  Many who had not taken part in the

robbing them of their provisions and whatever else they coveted.  As
they did so they told the Indians that Columbus would pay them, and

seize the gunwales and save themselves, the barbarians cut off their
hands and stabbed them with their swords.

The deserters, on reaching land, took up their abode in an Indian
village, the inhabitants of which they treated in their usual tyrannical
