Gliding past islas Blanca and Verde, the fleet anchored behind San Juan de Ulua late on Thursday in passion week. FOOTNOTES [104] ‘Qustando ... en la cibdad de Sto Domingo vibiendo con el Almirante.’ _Ramirez_, _Proceso contra Alvarado_, pp. xi. 61; _Juarros_, _Guat._, i. 252. [105] ‘Todos hermanos, que fue el Capitan Pedro de Aluarado, y Gonçalo de Aluarado, y Jorge de Aluarado, y Gonçalo [Alonzo] y Gomez, è Juan de Alvarado el viejo, que era bastardo.’ _Bernal Diaz_, _Hist. Verdad._, 14. [106] See _Native Races_, iii. 109 and 183. ‘Biondo.’ _Clavigero_, _Storia Mess._, iii. 8. Elaborating this, Brasseur de Bourbourg says, ‘Aux cheveux blonds et coloré de visage, ce qui lui fit donner par les Tlaxcaltèques le surnom de Tonatiuh.’ _Hist. Nat. Civ._, iv. 53. But the authority for calling him blonde is not mentioned. It may rest on mere tradition. A Mexican picture gives him dark beard and a yellow helmet or head-dress, the same colors being given to the beard and head-dress of figures representing the Spanish troops. Ramirez is rather inclined to doubt the authenticity of the portrait so frequently copied from Cortina’s copper-plates, representing him as of dark complexion, with long, meagre, pointed face, very high forehead, stubbed hair, mustache, and imperial. _Ramirez_, _Proceso contra Alvarado_, pp. xi. xxii. 277-82, with plates. _Prescott’s Mex._ (Mex. 1844), i. 458; _Id._ (_Gondra ed._), iii. 220; _Carbajal Espinosa_, _Hist. Mex._, ii. 340, 686, with signature. A wood-cut in _Armin_, _Alte Mex._, 222, presents a much younger man, with a round, handsome face, curled hair, and full, curled beard. This corresponds more to the description given in the text, but the authority is not indicated. Zamacois, _Hist. Méj._, ii. 484, gives a full-length portrait corresponding to this. [107] Helps, _Cortés_, ii. 163, compares him to Murat, Cortés being the Napoleon. _Bernal Diaz_, _Hist. Verdad._, 15, 240, 245. [108] _Montejo_, _Memorial al Emp._, 1545, in _Cent. Amer._, 1545-55, MS. 130. ‘Fué uno de aquellos mílites que passaron á estas partes ... mill é quinientos y catorçe, é aquel mesmo año ... fuésse de la Tierra-Firma ... é passóse á la isla de Cuba.’ _Oviedo_, iii. 217.
