CHAPTER XLVH
OF the Arrival of Ship Under Captain Pedro
Barba, Sent by Diego Valasques, and the
Manner in Which the Admiral Left in
Villa RIGA Captured 1t

r AS have said in the former chapter
there came at this time messengers from
Villa Rica saying that a ship had arriv-
ed there from Cuba containing thirteen
soldiers and one horse and a mare. because
the ship was very small and for Captain
there came a certain hidalgo named Pedro
Barba who was a great friend of Cortes.
He brought letters for Pantilo Narvaez
from Diego Velasquez, for VelasqueZ took
it for certain that Narvaez had captured
us all. And in the letters V elasquez or
dered that if Cortes was not already
dead that he should be sent to Cuba
a prisoner that he might be sent back
TO Spain. that Don Juan de Rodriguez
Fonseca, the Bishop of Burros and
Archbishop of Ros and president of
the council Of the Indias, and that
our other Captains should be sent with
him. AS soon as Pedro Barba had cast
anchor, the Admiral whom Cortes had
left in the port. who was called Juan
Cabellero, went to visit and welcome him,
and he took with him good body of
sailors, well armed, but with their arms
hidden. After they had embraced and
exchanged the usual complime nts, taking
off their gorras, Juan Caballero asked af
fectionately after the health of Pedro
Barba. and that of Diego Nelasquez, the
governor of Cuba. Pedro Barba replied
that he was well and he and those who

the multitude of warriors who attacked
you at Otumb a. We knew four days before
the BATTLE that they were gathered there
and would have gone to your assistance
with 80, 600 warriors, but we could not
get them together in time.
When they finished speaking we EN-
braced them again and thanked them. and

ents of pieces gold and chalchuis. each
soldier giving what he could out of what
ever remained to him. And SO we made
presents to our acquaintance among
them. How overjoyed they were when
they found that Dona Luisa and Dona
Marina had escaped and how they walled
for those of their friends who had per-
ished! particularly Massi- Escassi for his
daughter Dona Elvira. whom he had
given to Juan Vela squez de Leon, and
he wept for him too. And SO we went

Xicotenga took Pedro de Alvarado. and
there we cured our wounds and there

this town of Cachula that fifteen Span
iards had been killed, ami there we
maize great many slaves. In about
forty days we had punished and reduced
to Subsection all OF the surrounding towns.
In the meantime the MeXicans had
elected another King. for the one who
was King when we were driven out had
I died Of smallpox. The new King was a
neph ew OF Montezuma and was named
Guatemoc, young man about twenty
years OF age, q good man and of gentle
manners, although an Indian, and very
bold, and lie ruled 50 sternly that all bis
people feared him. he was married to a
daughter of Montezuma, who, for an In
dian woman. was very pretty one.
When Guatemoc. the new King learned
how we had defeated his garrison at
Tepeyaca and brought the natives of that
place to their obedience to his majesty,
Carlos the Fifth and that they were sup
plying as with food and serving us In
other ways and that we had also founded
a town there, he feared that from this
place we would overrun the neigh boring
province of GuaXaco and Others near by,
and that we would make alliances with
them against him.
He therefore sent at once messengers to
all the towns ordering them to be on their
guard and to some of the Cacques he sent
gold and to others he forgave their trib-
utes and at the same time he sent out Il
strong force of warriors to all points
where he dreaded an attack and to pre-

days. There also came with Pedro Barba
one Francisco Lopez, who was afterwards
Regidor OF Guatemala, and Cortes paid
much honor to Pedro Barba and made
him IA Captain of crossbowmen. Barba
informed him that when he lett Cuba Di-
ego Nelasquez was fitting out another
small ship with munitions of war and
provisions to send to Uarvaega. Within
eight days this ship also arrived. ana
there came in her for Captain certain
hidalgo. native of Ulidina del Campo
named Rodrigo Ulerejou de Lobera, who
brought with him eight men and six
crossbows. and good supply of cord for
the crossbows, and one mare. And the
Captain was also captured in neither
more nor less than the same way Pedro
Barba had been; and they were immedi-
ately sent to Segura de Frontera, where
Cortes was. whereat we all reioiced and
Cortes paid them much honor. And now,
thank God, we had increased our force
with twenty-one soldiers and six cross
bows and three horses.
[ have already said that sGuatemoc, the
new King of the MeXica ms. had sent out
large bodies of warriors to the frontiers,
and he sent an especially large force to
Guacachula and another to town called
-Ozucar which was about three leagues
from Guacachula. to protect, from those
points the towns and provinces subject
to Mexico. Those forces treated the peo-
pie badly, robbing and otherwise ill-treat-
ing them, so that they could no longer

we're with him inquired for Pantilo Mar
vaez and how it had gone with Cortes.
Juan Caballero replied that Cortes and
about twenty of his companions had fed
to the mountains, and that Narvaez and
his people were well and prosperous and
rich. and that the country was very good
and after some further talk Juan Cabal-
lero invited Pedro Barba and his people
to come ashore and rest and refresh
themselves. so that presently they all dis
embarked and when they were ashore
Juan Caballero, having good body of
sailors well armed with him, said to
them:
Now, sirs. surrender yourselves prs-
oners to Captain fernando Cortes, my
chief" And so they all surrendered be-
ing taken by surprise. and Juan Cabal-
lero Immediately ordered the rudder
taken out of the ship and It's sails also
and he sent the prisoners to Cortes at Te-
payaca. They came in good time for in
the late expeditions and forays we had
not escaped injury. many of our soldiers
having been wounded and others having
fallen sick from over-eXertion and expos
ure. We being always accustomed to sleep
on our arms. In fact, five of our men had
died from pneumonia in less than fifteen

CHAPTER XLVI
OF How We Went to the Province OF Tepeyaca,
and of What We Did There, and OF the
New King of Mexico and the Measures
He Took Against Us

Cortes asked of the Chiefs of rlascala
five thousand warriors to go with us and
assist in chastsing the towns where
Spaniards had been killed. These towns
were Tepeyaca. Cachula and Tecamachal-
CO. which may have been about six or seven
leagues from Tlascala. The request was
granted with right good will, for the
people of these same towns, assisted by
the Mexican garrison of Tepevaca. had
lately made some incursions into the ter
ritories of the Tlascalans. so that the
latter were very anxious to chastise them.
In this expedition we took no artillery
with us. as we had lost it all when we
were driven out of Mexico.
Although few arquebuses had es-
capped, and we had no powder the force

CHAPTER XLVIH
OF a Ship Which Approached the Port of Villa
RIGA and Which Had Been Sent Out by
Francisco Garay to Found a Colony on
the River pauncO

At this time there came letters to Cor
ties rom villa Rica, saying that one of
the vessels sent out by Francisco Garay
to colonizn Paunco had entered the port
under Il cert in Captain Camargo, and
that with ann came sixty soldiers but
all very sick and with swelled bellies and
all yellow; and they said that the In
dams of Paunco hal killed one Alvarez
Pinedo, who had also come as Captain
for Garay to colonize Paunco, and that
with him persisted his whole expedition.
And the Indians had burned the ships,
and Camargo, seeing the fate of Alvarez
Pinedo, had re-embarked all his people
and had come to this port to ask for
relief. for his meutwere all sick and they
had no provisions and could no longer
sustain the attacks of the Indians. The
letter also stated that Captain Camargo
had been a Dominican monk and had
taken orders.
And soon after by slow stages Captain
Camargo and his men arrived in our
camp, for they could scarcely walk and
they were entirely unfit for lighting, so
that we had great trouble curing them.
Cortes treated Camargo with much honor
and treated. has soldiers well also. but soon
alter Camargo died. as did many of his
soldiers, and as a joke We called them
great bellies" because they were all
sweled and had the color of dead men.
The ships of Garay had started each
one month before the other, and shortly
after this there arrived on the coast at
Paunco another of Garay's ships COM
manded by Miguel Duez de Aux. an Ar
ragonese. who had been sent out with
reinforcements for Alvarez Piuedo. y But
as soon as he arrived at PauncO the In
dams attacked him, so that he did not
stay there but came to our port and dis
embarked his force, which amounted to
fifty soldiers and seven horses.

his men, and this was the best reinforce

Xicotenga eli Viejo and Chechmecaltecle

they arrived where we were they en-
braced Cortes and all of us. and some of
them cried and were very sorrowful, espe-

Chichizmetecle and Tecpane ca, and
they said to Cortes:
"Oh Malinche, Malinche. we feel greatly
the misfortune that has befallen you and
your brothers, and that has also befallen
so many OF our own people who were
killed fighting with you. We told yoa
many times not to trust the MeXicans.

towns might again unite against and at
tack us. Even yet the Mexicans hung
around US and attaked us where we could
not get at them. We kept on that day
until we arrived at a place where there
were some houses and a large and strong
temple, sort of fortress in which we dis
posed ourselves for the night, and we
dressed our wounds and rested ourselves
for the first time in many terrible nights
and days. And from the temple we could
see the hills of Tlascala, and when we saw
them we were full of Joy as though they
surrounded our own houses.
AS yet we knew nothing of the feel
ings OF the Tlascalans toward u.s. and we
knew nothing OF the fate of those whom
we had left in Villa Rica, if they were
dead or alive.
And Cortes said to us that now we were
but few, as there only remained four hun
bred and forty foot and twenty horse and
twelve crossbowmen and seven arquebus-
iers, and we had no powder and we were
all wounded and lame. should not
cease to return thanks to our Lord Jesus
Christ who had saved our lives, and that
we were now less than when we first left
Cuba with him. And he begged us all to
give the Tlascalans no cause of complaint.
And this he also impressed on those of
Narvaez who were not so accustomed to
be governed by Captains as we were. And
he further said that he hoped in God to
find the Tlascalans faithful, but that if
not, which God forbid. we must be always
on our guard and fight like brave men
with bold hearts and sturdy arms. We
soon after arrived at place where there
was fountain and some old Notifications
and the Tlascalans who were with us
said tnat this was the dividing line be-
tween their territory and that OF the Mex
leans.
We camped here and bathed ourselves
and rested and ate whatever miserable
food we had. and presently we recon-
menced our march until we came to a
town called Gualiapor, where we were

who were OF his party, they said we were
