They are ofordinary stature, and very lean, wearing their black hair frizzled overtheir shoulders like the Germans, and grease it daily with fish oil, which gives them a nasty smell; yet they consider this as modish. Theyare extremely poor, egregious liars, the greatest thieves in the world, and very treacherous. They have never heard of any Christians except thePortuguese, with whom they had war for thirteen or fourteen years, inwhich many of them were carried off as slaves, as has been alread...ymentioned. Many of these people informed me, that, when they first sawships under sail, which had never been beheld by any of their ancestors, they took them for large birds with white wings, that had come fromforeign parts; and when the sails were furled, they conjectured, fromtheir length, and swimming on the water, that they must be great fish. Others again believed that they were spirits, who wandered about by night;because they were seen at anchor in the evening at one place, and wouldbe seen next morning 100 miles off, either proceeding along the coast tothe southwards, or put back, according as the wind changed, or thecaravels might happen to steer.
