[46] It was in May, 1519, according to Oviedo, that Benito Martin—some call him Martinez—sailed for Spain, Grijalva having arrived at Santiago late in the October previous. By reference to a Velazquez memorial, in iv. 233-4, _Col. Doc. Inéd._, we find that before this, upon the strength of Córdoba’s discovery, the king, on the 13th of November, 1518, at Saragossa, made Velazquez adelantado of what he had discovered, or might discover. Thus far he claimed as having found, at his own cost, Cozumel and Yucatan, the Santa María de los Remedios of the Spaniards, which was not true. Indeed, these memorials of the descendants of conquerors are, as a rule, widely different from the facts; instance this one again, which gives Olid seventy men instead of seven. As a matter of course, the honor of the discovery is claimed wholly for the governor of Cuba, to the prejudice of others who ventured more than he. See _Carta del Ayunt. de Vera Cruz_, in _Col. Doc. Inéd._, i. 418-9. Instance further a _Memorial del negocio de D. Antonio Velazquez de Basan_, in _Pacheco_ and _Cárdenas_, _Col. Doc._, x. 80-6, in which Grijalva is given five ships and a year and a half, and Olid three ships and seventy men. In the _Instruccion que dió el adelantado Diego Velazquez á Hernan Cortés_, in _Col. Doc. Inéd._, xii. 226-46, the little boat of Olid has grown into a caravel with 80 or 90 men.
