“In the same year, 1503, Gonsallo Coelho was sent to the land of St. Cruz, with six ships, with which he left Lisbon on the 10th day of the month of June. In consequence of not having much knowledge of the land, four were lost, and the other two brought to the kingdom merchandise of the land, which then were no others than red wood, which was called Brazil, and parrots.”—Goes.
