Code entry
Exactly when the town of the chief of Guale took the Christian name of Santa Catalina is unclear, but it did not have a resident missionary then or for some time to come. Soon after these elite baptisms, Velasco and Moreno had a falling out, reportedly over the lieutenant governor's highhanded treatment of the new Christians. When the three Franciscans learned that their patron was dead, they decided to leave. Velasco refused to give them travel clearance. Defying him, they embarked in a small vessel bound for Vera Cruz, in the fall of 1575, and were lost at sea. (Bushnell SS)
