Quirós's avisos for dealing with the islanders (1605-1606 voyage)

A set of numbered standing orders written for the landing parties of the 1605-06 Pacific voyage: give gifts and good treatment, keep chiefs aboard as pledges, never turn your back, and above all avoid "daños de parte á parte". They were composed by a man who had watched the previous expedition shoot its own host, and the same voyage's acts of possession reserved encomiendas over the people the avisos protected.
