Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of

beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange
big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore,
carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to
greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He later
wrote of this in his log:
They ... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears
and many other things, which they exchanged for the
glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded
everything they owned... . They were well-built, with
good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear
arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword,
they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of
ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of
cane... . They would make fine servants.... With fifty men
we could subjugate them all and make them do
whatever we want.
