Commander Gleaves of the USS Mayflower reports from Mandingo Bay that the Carti Indians were friendly and that Guayaquilili came aboard the ship and accepted gifts. The next day, Guayaquilili resumed a hostile attitude and Gleaves believes that he only boarded the ship to receive gifts and spy for Colombia. Commander Culver has had friendlier relations with the indigenous people around Pinos Island and Conception Bay.
