ABSTRACT
I have already said that some of us soldiers who had not yet recovered from our wounds remained in Havana, and when we had got better three of us soldiers wished to go to the town of Trinidad, and we arranged to go with a certain Pedro de Ávila, a resident in Havana who was going to make the voyage in a canoe along the southern coast. 1 The canoe was laden with cotton shirts which Pedro de Ávila intended to sell at the town of Trinidad.
