I went ashore, and found no habitation save a single house, and that without an occupant we had no doubt that the people had fled in terror at our approach (60).
A thousand different sorts of trees, with their fruit were to be met with, and wonderfully delicious odor (61).
I discovered also the aloe tree, and am determined to take on board the ship tomorrow, ten quintals of it, as I am told it is valuable (61).
