his translators appear to have thought that _feralis_ is derived
from _fera_. Ramusion translates: “Dando loro a mangiar carne di
fiere;” and the Spanish version in Navarrete has: “Con su aparato

the sense of beastly.
[442] “Feralis,” again.
[443] Or, Caurus.

Alvaro de Mezquita, Magellan’s relation, and captain of the _S.
Antonio_, a prisoner; but what Correa relates may have been part
of the plot and a stratagem of Juan de Carthagena.
[456] His name was Gonzalo Gomes de Spinosa; he returned to Spain.
[457] “Que fizesse grande toa.”
[458] The reader will observe that this account of Magellan’s death is
incorrect.
