There were diadems, necklaces of pearls and diamonds, so that some of the girls could not withhold a nakú of admiration, and Sinang gave a cluck with her tongue, whereupon her mother pinched her to prevent her from encouraging the jeweler to raise his prices, for Capitana Tika still pinched her daughter even after the latter was married. "Here you have some old diamonds," explained the jeweler.
The ships were separated by a storm, two ran aground and a third was lost, so that only the "Capitana" and "Almirante" reached Tortuga on 10th January. Being greeted with a rough fire from the platform and fort as they approached the harbour, they dropped anchor a league to leeward and landed with little opposition.
The four ships that made up the Admiral's fleet on his fourth and last voyage were all small caravels, the largest only of seventy tons and the smallest only of fifty. Columbus chose for his flagship the Capitana, seventy tons, appointing Diego Tristan to be his captain.
To the advice of friends that she go back home to avoid exposing her baby to an attack of fever, the disconsolate woman replied, "Why should he live, if he isn't going to have a father to rear him?" "Your husband is innocent. Perhaps he'll come back." "Yes, after we're all dead!" Capitana Tinay wept and called upon her son Antonio.

The wind came down in a gust over the land. Sails were taken in, and the ship was only under a fore course, falling off a little.
The cart was surrounded by the crowd. They wanted to destroy it. "Don't do that!" said Capitana Maria. "Do you want them to walk?" This remark stopped the relatives of the prisoners. Twenty soldiers came out and surrounded the cart. Then came the prisoners. The first was Don Filipo; he was tied. He greeted his wife with a smile.
"All your ideas, Capitana Maria," said Sister Rufa, as if preaching, "are but little religious. Become a sister of the Holy Rosary or of St.
"Nakú!" he exclaimed, "sacks and sacks of powder, sacks of powder under the floor, in the roof, under the table, under the chairs, everywhere! It's lucky none of the workmen were smoking."
