_Columbus_ landing here, found all the _Cannibals_ fled; but their Houses full of Stone Vessels, Cruises, Pans, and Pots, boyling with Mens Flesh, Parrots, and Wild-foul; the Hanches and Sides of young Men, on Spits roasting at the Fire, with the Splinters of whose broken Bones they headed their Arrows. This Island by the Inhabitants call’d _Carucueria_, _Columbus_ chang’d to _Guadalupe_, because the Mountains rise up with their tops not unlike _Estremadura_ in _Spain_, famous there for the wonderful Representation of our Lady, as that of the Lady of _Loretto_ in _Italy_. Thirty Women which he had taken from the neighboring Isles, he sent with Presents to the fled _Canibals_, which the next day returning, made a great appearance near the Shore; but when they had gaz’d a while upon the _Spaniards_, looking stedfastly on one another, they suddenly ran back again, sheltring themselves in the Covert of the Woods. _Columbus_ thinking it not worth his while to expect their return, seeing their barbarous Life, burnt and destroy’d all their Boats, and spoiling whatever he could, sail’d to _Matanino_. [Sidenote: Strange Women in _Matanino_.] The releas’d Women in _Guadalupe_, that came back again, inform’d the _Spaniards_, That _Matanino_ was an Isle onely inhabited by Women, which at accustom’d times row’d over to these _Cannibals_, where a while they drove a Trade and Commerce of Love, the Product of which, if Girls, they kept; but the Boys they sent over to their Fathers. They live in Caves, the Mouths and Entrances of which they maintain and stoutly make good with their Bowe, shooting Arrows as thick as Hail at the approach of Men, after their impregnating by the _Cannibals_.
