' In each canoe was a venerable old man, naked like the others,' and who appe:xed tohe. their Chief., One very remarkable circumstance is, that these twoold ' men were white, and had aqueline noses: ,They had rather the air of Spaniards than of- Savages— .Capt., MONTEVE' RUE adds, that these island 4, and their aged Chefs, ;bore a considerable resemblance, in their features and condual to the Indians of the, islands of IlartholomeW; and these .of Cala and where he linded in mu, with the frigate L lip . pine, commanded. by DON JUAN IBARGUITIA.
