After some resistance from the na- tives, he disembarked, and took possession of the coun- try in the name of the Spanish monarch. Proceeding * " En medio del qual havia una cr...uz de Cal, tan alta como diez palmos, a la qual tenian, i adoraban por Dioa de la Lluvia." — Gomara, Cranica, cap. 16.
" Era Cozumel el mayor Santuario para los Indios que habia en este reino de Yucatan, y a donde recurrian en romeria de todo el por unas calzadas que le atravesaban todo, y hoy permanecen en muchas partes Testigios dellas.*' — Diego Lopez Cooolludo, Historia de Yucatan, lib. i., cap. 6.
