ABSTRACT

The licenciate Antonio Serrano had authority to people the Island of Guadaloupe, upon very advantageous conditions; and with the power of governor of the Islands of Monserrat, Barbada, Antigua, Deseada, Dominica, and Martinico. Until governors were appointed to them, they belonged to the Caribs. He was supplied with every thing he asked, even to the ornaments and dresses for the church, and bells; but he never did anything " pero nunca hizo nada."
