English: Adventure magazine 30 Oct 1924, p. 62--Dias' insignia. The "Chinaman" explains the significance of the letters in (supposedly) Chinese script. [Relevant text surrounding the drawing: “Look!” he exclaimed in very good Spanish. “Observe the beauty of this writing, which you do not understand! But I will show you what it means. Here above is the character tan, which shows the sun just above the horizon; it means the morning, or what you call dias—it is our word for the name of the master. Now below it you see me writing the character named i, which in the ancient writing of my country shows an arrow fixed in a target. It means that something has been done or finished, and the two characters together mean that our master has approved or done this thing—it is a seal made for our master by the eminent Yu Szu Lo of Canton.”]
