THE END FOOTNOTES: [1] “It was a beautiful victory,” exclaims the Conqueror. “É entrámoslos de tal manera, que ninguno de ellos se escapó, excepto las Mugeres, y Niños; y en este combate me hiriéron veinte y cinco Españoles, pero fué muy hermosa Victoria.” Rel. Terc., ap. Lorenzana, p. 241. [2] About five hundred boats, according to the general’s own estimate (Ibid., loc. cit.); but more than four thousand, according to Bernal Diaz (Hist. de la Conquista, cap. 150); who, however, was not present. [3] “Y como yo deseaba mucho, que el primer reencuentro, que con ellos obiessemos, fuesse de mucha victoria; y se hiciesse de manera, que ellos cobrassen mucho temor de los bergantines, porque la llave de toda la Guerra estaba en ellos.” Rel. Terc., ap. Lorenzana, pp. 241, 242. [4] “Plugo á nuestro Señor, que estándonos mirando los unos á los otros, vino un viento de la Tierra muy favorable para embestir con ellos.” Ibid., p. 242. [5] Rel. Terc., ap. Lorenzana, loc. cit.--Oviedo, Hist. de las Ind., MS., lib. 33, cap. 48.--Sahagun, Hist. de Nueva-España, MS., lib 12, cap. 32.--I may be excused for again quoting a few verses from a beautiful description in “Madoc,” and one as pertinent as beautiful: “Their thousand boats, and the ten thousand oars, From whose broad bowls the waters fall and flash, And twice ten thousand feathered helms, and shields, Glittering with gold and scarlet plumery. Onward they come with song and swelling horn; ... On the other side Advance the _British_ barks; the freshening breeze Fills the broad sail; around the rushing keel The waters sing, while proudly they sail on, Lords of the water.” MADOC, Part 2, canto 25.
