Reading edition
The trains were frequently attacked by cimarrones. 'From Venta Cruz to Nombre de Dios they go always with their Treasure by day through the cool fresh Woods, unless the Symerons happily make them sweat for fear, as oft happens, and therefore their Recoes (a name applied to mules and muleteers travelling in company) are guarded with Souldiers.' Burton's English Heroe, 49. See also Life and Voy. of Drake, 42.
