Note 17 — Chapter VII · Prince Guakanahari—The Admiral’s Vessel Wrecked—Forty-three Men Remain Behind—The Return Voyage Begins
George P. (George Putnam) Upton translation
The Caribs occupied Guiana and the region of the Orinoco and conquered the Caribbean Islands. Their descendants live in Honduras and Nicaragua. Our word “cannibal” is a corruption of “Carib.”
