Hasty readers will have the justice to give the honour of this story to Galvano. This story will be found hereafter very differently related by Cada Mosto himself, but with a sufficient spice of the marvellous. The Honey-guide, or Cuculus Indicator, will be noticed more particularly in the Travels through the Colony of the Cape.
According to de Faria, Rio Grande was discovered by Nunez Tristan in 1447, nine years before it was visited by Cada Mosto. Astl.
VECINA. Jesús, señora, no hay de qué ... entre vecinas y amigas hoy por ti, mañana por mí ... ¡y nosotras que vamos a ser tan amigas!... como que vivimos en el mismo piso ... porque aquí en esta casa, como en todas, con el vecino de al lado es con quien se trata ... y nadie quiere bajarse ... ni subir escaleras ... muy bien hecho ... cada oveja con su pareja ... la marquesa con el canónigo en el piso principal ... en el segundo, el abogado con el comerciante ... en el tercero, el agente de negocios con la viuda del coronel ... así en los demás pisos ... por eso también nadie trata con la encajera ... verdad es que no hay más guardilla que la suya ... y luego ya le dije a usted que es muy necia y muy vana.... Pero voyme corriendo, que dejé la sartén a la lumbre, no sea que se me queme la salchicha ... porque ha de saber usted que mi marido almuerza todos los días salchicha.
DON EDUARDO. El caso es que cada cual tiene su amor propio ... y para mí ... la verdad ... no puede ser plato de gusto el entrar en tu familia como un pobretón. DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Qué importa eso? DON EDUARDO. A mí mucho ... y se me caería la cara de vergüenza. DOÑA MATILDE. Pero, hombre, ¿no ves que tu tío te tiene, por fuerza, que perdonar también pronto?
The Spanish Americans have it in the phrase "Cada uno a su gusto;" "Chacun a son gout," say the French; and on hearing these tales about "ant-paste," and "roast monkey," and "armadillo done in the shell," and "bat-soup," you, boy reader, will not fail to exclaim "Every one to his liking." The vampire appeared to be to Guapo's liking.
Including the voyages of Cada Mosto and Pedro de Cintra, which have been already detailed, as possibly within the period which elapsed between the death of Don Henry in 1463, and King Alphonzo, which latter event took place on the 28th August 1481, and the detached fragments of discovery related in the present Section, we have been only able to trace a faint outline of the uncertain progress of Portuguese discovery during that period of eighteen years, extending, as already mentioned, to Cape St Catherine and the island of Annobon.
Cada Mosto is exceedingly superficial in his account of the Rio Grande; and it even seems dubious if he ever saw or entered this river, as he appears to have mistaken the navigable channel between the main and the shoals of the Rio Grande for the river itself; which channel extends above 150 English miles, from the island of Bulam in the E.S.E. to the open sea in the W.N.W. This channel agrees with his description, in being twenty miles wide, whereas the real Rio Grande is greatly smaller than the Gambia.
According to De Faria, as already mentioned in Chap. II. Sect. I Cape Non was doubled, and Cape Bojador discovered in 1415, many years before the death of King John. The present recapitulation by Cada Mosto has been left in his own words, without insisting on the exactness of his chronology. Astley.
To this we subjoin an abstract of the narrative of a voyage made by Pedro de Cintra, a Portuguese captain, to the coast of Africa, drawn up for Cada Mosto, at Lagos, by a young Portuguese who had been his secretary, and who had accompanied Cintra in his voyage.
In addition to the two voyages of Cada Mosto himself, there is a third voyage included in the present chapter, performed by Piedro de Cintra to the same coast, the narrative of which was communicated to Cada Mosto by one who had accompanied Cintra, and had been clerk to Cada Mosto in the two former voyages.
