Septmber 23, 1519

Many events have hindered our cause especially winter storms and generally bad conditions throughout the area, which has prolonged our stay and caused our supplies to dry up quickly. We have had our achievements too, three days ago my crew and I established a settlement called Puerto San Julian in which nearby many strange peoples live, Pantagonians we call them as they wear big and unsightly things on their feet. Today, though, was not a good one.

I experienced betrayal from two of my captains, one from the Concepion and another from the San Antonio, even a priest! But as I have expressed before my crew was loyal and not one man moved to help the overthrow me, instead we captured the mutinous three. I will contemplate on whether to execute all three, or to kill one and leave the lesser criminals stranded and shamed before I rest my body tonight. Their lives are in my hands and it’s up to me what happens to them.
