They were immediately surrounded by the canoes of the natives, the occupants of which brought many kinds of food, but in very small quantity.  They would not enter the vessels although asked to do so by Legazpi, “who showed them much love and affection, and looked upon them as friends.”  They sold their food for such things as playing cards, little bits of cloth, etc.  “The father prior talked with them, using the few words of their language that he remembered, especially counting up to ten, whereat they manifested great pleasure; and one of them mentioned the name Gonzalo, which as the father prior said, was the name of a Spaniard who had been found in one of those islands, which was called Goam.”  The natives signed to them to enter their villages, where they would find food in abundance.  “And all the canoes, and those in them, had their arms, which consisted of shields, bundles of throwing-sticks, slings, and egg-shaped stones....  They leave the body quite uncovered.  They are tall, robust, well built, and apparently of great strength.  The women, too, are very tall, and wear only a cord tied about the waist, and to the cord they hang some grass or leaves from the trees, whereby they cover the shameful parts.  Some cover the latter also with mats made from palm-leaves.  All the rest of the body is uncovered.  Both men and women wear their hair, which is of a yellowish color, loose and long, gathering it up behind the head.”  Their canoes are “very neatly and well made, sewed together with cord, and finished with a white or orange-colored bitumen, in place of pitch.  They are very light, and the natives sail in them with their lateen sails made of palm-mats, with so much swiftness against the wind or with a side wind that it is a thing to marvel at.”  The trading was all done from the canoes for the natives would not enter the vessels.  They cheated much, passing up packages filled mainly with sand, or grass, and rocks, with perhaps a little rice on top to hide the deceit; the cocoa-nut oil was found to be mixed with water.  “Of these the natives made many and very ridiculous jests.”  They showed no shame in these deceits, and, if remonstrance was made, began straightway to show fight.  “They are inclined to do evil, and in their knavishness they exhibit a very great satisfaction in having done it; and truly whoever gave the name of island of Ladrones [robbers] was right; for they are robbers and boast of it, and are quite shameless and inclined to evil.  They render account to no one, each man being sufficient to himself.  Thus it was seen that, whenever the general gave some articles, such as beads, mirrors, and articles of barter, to the Indians who seemed to be the principals, they quarreled over who should take them, snatching them from one another and fleeing.  And they were always looking for something to steal.  They unfastened a large piece of one rudder blade in the patache ‘San Joan,’ and they tried to, and actually did, draw out the nails from
