The soil about Puerto Seguro, (and very likely in most of the vallies) is a rich black mould, which, as you turn it up fresh to the sun, appears as if intermingled with gold dust, some of which we endeavoured to wash and purify from the dust; but though we were a little prejudiced against the thoughts that it could be possible that this metal should be so promiscuously and universally mingled with common earth, yet we endeavoured to cleanse and wash the earth from some of it, and the more we did, the more it appeared like gold; but in order to be further satisfied, I brought away some of it, which we lost in our confusions in China.-page 400, 401.
