ALVAR NUNEZ CABEZA DE VACA
on the ninth of August, vespers of Saint
Laurentius day, of the year I537.
And, in Testimony of, that what I have
stated in the foregoing narrative is true, I
hereunto sign my name:
CABEZA de VACA.
The document which this is taken from
was signed with his name and bore the seal
with his coat of arms.
Since, in the foregoing narrative, I have
related the Journey, the arrival at, and the
departure from, the country, and return to
this realm, I now wish to tell also what hap-
pened to the ships and to the people who
remained on board of them. I have not
said anything about them as yet, for the rea-
son that we heard nothing of their fate until
after our return, when we found many of
the survivors in New Spain and some here
in Castile, through whom we learned every-
thing that occurred to them after we had
forsaken the three vessels, one having been
lost previously on the wild coast.
