They went, therefore, northwest on the Atlantic,where they visited several wonderful islands, on one of which there was agreat bird which related to them, the legend says, the whole history ofthe world, and gave them a great leaf from a tree--the leaf being as largeas an ox-hide, and being preserved for many years in one of the churchesafter their return. At the next island they heard sweet human voices, andfound that the sixty banished couples had established their homes there.The pilgrims then went onward in their hidebound boat until they reachedthe coast of Spain, and there they landed and dwelt for a time. The bishopbuilt a church, and the priest officiated in it, and the organist tookcharge of the music. All prospered; yet the boat-builder and the threebrothers were never quite contented, for they had roamed the seas toolong; and they longed for a new enterprise for their idle valor. Theythought they had found this when one day they found on the sea-coast agroup of women tearing their hair, and when they asked the explanation,"Senor," said an old woman, "our sons and our husbands have again falleninto the hand of Satan." At this the three brothers were startled, forthey remembered well how they used, in youth, to rank themselves asSatan's children. Asking farther, they learned that a shattered boat theysaw on the beach was one of a pair of boats which had been carried too farout to sea, and had come near an islet which the sailors called _Isla dela Man Satanaxio_, or The Island of Satan's Hand.
