Abbad tells us that the Spaniards were victorious, but the buccaneers continued to occupy all the islands which they had occupied before. In 1634 they took possession of Curagao, Aruba, and Bonaíre, near the coast of Venezuela, and established themselves in 1638 in San Eustaquio, Saba, San Martin, and Santa Cruz. In 1640 the Governor of Puerto Rico sought to expel them from the last-named island.
