Upon Arriving There, Since What They Found To Eat Was So Meage

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

Upon arriving there, since what they found to eat was so meager,
some of these Christians, seeing themselves in extreme hunger, killed
an Indian they had captured, and roasted the entrails and ate them;
and they put a good part of the Indian to stew in a large pot in order
to bring along something to eat in the ship's boat in which those
who did this were travelling.
