Cristóbal Pantoxa, Luis Liranço, Lope de Quintanilla, depositions made at Havana, October 20, 1593

For God's sake, your lordship, let this be kept secret for if it be generally known among the seafaring men we might capture some person so informed who, when asked for news of the land, would tell it and so prevent us from accomplishing anything. This is all for now, except to say that I will return soon.
