We were now assured that the main was far richer than any island. Turbulent hope, that was the chief lading now of the four ships. Gold! Gold! Golden moon disks and golden rude figures. We found a lump of gold wrought like a maize ear. What was beyond that, by itself under trees, we found an ancient, broken, true wall, stone and lime.
