THE LOG OF CABRILLO 2S 



They are uninhabited, because there is no water in them [the 

 account is doubtless in error here; these islands must be iden- 

 tical with others mentioned farther on as inhabited]; and they 

 have good' ports. The coast of the mainland runs west-north- 

 west; the country is level, with many cabins and trees; and the 

 following Saturday they continued on their course, and pro- 

 ceeded two leagues, no more; and they anchored opposite a 

 valley very beautiful and very populous, the land being level 

 with many trees. Here came canoes with fish to barter; they 

 remained great friends. 



"And the Sunday following, the fifteenth day of the said 

 month, they held on their voyage along the coast about ten 

 leagues; and there were always many canoes, for all the coast 

 is very populous; and many Indians were continually coming 

 aboard the ships; and they pointed out to us the villages, and 

 named them by their names, which are Xucu, Bis, Sopono, 

 Alloc, Xabaagua, Xotococ, Potoltuc, Nacbuc, Quelqueme, 

 Misinagua, Misesopano, Elqms, Coloc, Mugu, Xagua, Anac- 

 buc, Partocac, Susuquey, Quanmu, Gua, Asimu, Aguin, CasaUc, 

 Tucumu, Incpupu. All these villages extend from the first, 

 Pueblo de las Canoas, which is called Xucu, as far as this place; 

 they are in a very good country, with very good plains and 

 many trees and cabins; they go clothed with skins; they said 

 that inland there were many towns, and much maize at three 

 days' distance ; they call the maize oep; and also that there were 

 many cows [elk]. They call the cows, cae; they also gave us 

 notice of some people with beards and clothed. They passed 

 this day along the shore of a large island which is fifteen leagues 

 in length; and they said that it was very populous, and that 

 it contained the following villages: Niquipos, Maxul, Xugua, 

 Nitel, Macamo, Nimitopal. They named the island San Lucas 

 [Santa Rosa Island]; it is from this place to Pueblo de las 

 Canoas eighteen leagues; the island is from the continent six 

 leagues. 



"Monday, the sixteenth day of the said month, saihng 

 along the coast, they proceeded four leagues, and anchored in 

 the evening opposite two \illages [Dos Pueblos]; and also this 

 day canoes were continually coming to the ships; and they 

 made signs that further on there were canoes much larger.
