ABSTRACT
[NOT very far off from these islands (to the west-south-west, at thirty leagues away, Spanish version) there is another inhabited by Heathen, which has its own Heathen King. The inhabitants thereof have, according to my information, a custom which cannot be believed, that is that while they are yet young they saw off their teeth close to the root, where the gums are, saying that. by so doing they make them grow the stronger and closer together. This island is called Tendaya (Spanish, Bangaya). Much iron is found there-which is taken to divers countries.]
