Excerpt from With Cortez in Mexico: A Historical Romance The owner of this vessel, Sedeno by name, was a wealthy merchant who did a thriving business with the territory already discovered. Now he had on board his ship all kinds of utensils and supplies for the settlers of Trinidad, as well as the mines, which were situated near the town. He was in a good humor, for the sky was clear and Trinidad not far away. He smiled with satisfaction as he stood on deck gazing at the distant coast of the island, and calculated how much money this trip would bring him in. Aside from him stood a young Spaniard, with black curly hair and handsome face. He stood there absorbed in thought, with his quiet, grave, in fact almost melancholy bearing, affording a striking contrast to the gay crowd of sailors and other passengers. Sedeno's glance fell upon the young man; the owner of the ship now for a while seemed lost in thought himself; then he smiled in his usual manner and went up to the passenger. "Well, we will soon land, Mr. Ramusio," he said, addressing him. "Cuba has a great future before her. She is prosperous; cities spring up like mushrooms on the island. All sorts of people are needed there: field laborers, mechanics, soldiers, and also cultured men who can wield the pen.
