For the time being, however, the friar on a "flying mission" who walked into a strange plaza might well find a cross already raised (Lopez, 1602). The significance the Spanish attached to crosses was well known; the Indians who paddled out a league and a half to trade with a Cuban vessel anchored off the Gulf Coast in 1605 showed their friendly intentions by hoisting a large one made of pine (Ybarra, 1605e).
