and fought bravely and with great de-
termination, all the time shouting to each
other: "Ala, ala, al Calchoni, al Calchoni, "
which meant "kill the Captain"
At this point Alonzo de Avila came up,
and all together we attacked the Indians
and drove them back, but they retired
fighting like good warriors and never
showed their backs until they had carried
off everything they had in a large patio,
where they had their houses of idols. And
when they had drawn off, Cortes took pos
session of the country in the name of our
Lord the King, and he did it in this
manner: Unshaa thing his sword, he
struck large tree three times and declared
that if any person questioned the right
of our Lord the King to these lands, he
would support it with sword and shield,
and all of us who were there declared
that it was well done to take possession
in the name OF our King, and that we
would assist him against all who should
question that right, and all of this was
done in the presence of a Kings secre-
tary.
l remember that in this fight fourteen
soldiers were wounded, and also was
wounded in the thigh by an arrow.
Eighteen Of the Indians lay dead in the

that the reeds on the banks of the river
were full of Indian warriors, those of us
who had been with Grijalva were much
surprised; and moreover there were over
twelve thousand warriors in the town, all
armed and ready to give us war. At this
time Tabasco was place of note and had
many other large towns subject to it.
The cause of this preparation to at
tack us was that the Indians of Potonchan
and neignboring towns had called them
towards and threw it in their faces that
they had traded their gold ornaments to
Grijalva, and through cowardice did not
dare to attack him, although they had
more towns and warriors than either
Potonchan or San Lazaro, both of which
towns made war on us and killed ffty-six
of us, all of which was said to affront
the men OF Tabasco.
Stirred by these insults, they took up
arms and prepared to- attack us. When
Cortes saw this he told Aguilar who
spoke Tabascan, to speak to some In
dams who appeared to be Chiefs, and
who were passing by in canoes, and ask
them why they were making these war
like preparations. He should tell them
that we had not come there to do them
injury but, on the contrary, to treat

he does that Of Bernal Diaz del Castillo,
and in the appendix to his work refers to
his Chronicles in the following language:
Bernal Diaz, the untutored child OF
Nature, is most true and literal copyist
of nature. He transfers the scenes Of
real life by sort OF daguerreotype pro-
cess, if l may so say, to his pages. He is
among chroniclers, what De Foe is among
novelists. He introduces us into the
heart of the camp, we huddle round the
bivouac with the soldiers, loiter with
them on their wearisome marches,
listen to their stories, their murmurs OF
discomfort, their. plans of conquest,
their hopes, their triumphs, their dis
appointments. All the picturesque scenes
and romantic incidents Of the campaign
are reflected in his pages as in mirror.
1t was by mere chance that this in
imitable chronicle was rescued from the
oblivion into which SO many works of
higher pretentions have fallen in the
Peninsula. For more than sixty years
after its composition the manuscript lay
concealed in the obscurity of private
library, when it was put into the hands
of Father Alfonso Remon, Cbronicler of
the Order of Mercy. He had the sagacity
to discover under it's rude exterior, its
high value in illustrating the history of
the Conquest. He obtained license for
the publication of the work, and under
its auspices it appeared at Madrid in 1852.

spect, and brought presents of some gold
ornaments made in figures of animals, and
they also brought NANTES like those they
used, but we already knew the Province
was poor in gold and did not expect
much. But these presents were nothing
in comparison TO twenty women they
brought and among them one excellent
one who was afterward called Dona Marina.
Cortes received the presents with JOY,
and taking the Caciques aside with Agui-
lar, he told them ne was much pleased,
but that he urgently requested them TO
repopulate the town, and that inside of
two days he would like to see ali OF their
men and children returned there, and
that by this he would know their peace
was a true one; and he also ordered that
they must give up their idols and human
sacrifices, which they promised to do.
Then. as best he could, Cortes told them
of our holy faith and how we We're Chris
tiansi and worshiped the only true God.
And then he showed them an image of

covery of and the conquest of New Spain,
and how the great City Of Mexico and
many other cities were taken and brought
to peace.
In this history will be found many not
able things, and things worthy of being
known; and there also will be found
clearly set forth, all the errors and vicious
misstatements written about the Conquest
by francisco Lopez de Gomara, who not
only was wrong in what he wrote, con-
corning the Conquest of New Spain, him
self, but was the cause of error in two
great historians who wrote after him,
that is to say Doctor Illescas and the
Bishop Paulo Jobio.
And for this reason I now say and
affirm, that everything written in this
book is very true, for I was an ocular
witness in all the battles, skirmishes and
sieges of the Conquest, and this is no oil /
story or history of the Romans, over
seven hundred years old because as
might say, it was only yesterday that
what is related in my history occurre d,
and of the truth of this, a good witness
was the hardy and valiant Captain Her.
nando Cortes, Marquis del Vale, who re-
lated all of these matters in letter
which he wrote from Mexico to his own
most Serene Highness, the Emperor Don
Carlos, the fifth, of glorious memory.
This history was finished, although
there are some points still lacking, in
this loyal city OF Guatemala, where re-
sides the Royal Andiencia, this sixth day
Of the month of February 1868.
| humbly beseech the gentlemen who
print this book, that they will not add to
or take from it one letter.
And now Cortes, having been appoint
ed Captain Of the expedition, fitted out

/ ENclXRN$ the interior, and to take
with him Melchorejo, our
Indian from Point Cotoche. But when
they went to call him he could not be
found, having fled to the natives of the
town; and, as it seems, the day before at
the Point of Palms, he had hung the
| clothes we gave him on tree and fled in
a canoe. Cortes was very angry at his
| fight, lest he should tell the natives things
that would injure us. He also ordered
Francisco de Lugo to take another hun
dred men, and among them twelve cross
bowmen and musketeers, and to march
into the interior the same distance as
Alvarado and to return to the camp at
night.
Scarcely had Lugo marched one league
from the camp when he was attacked by
multitudes of Indian warriors, who poured
upon him showers of arrows and earthen
balls hardened in the fire which they
threw with sings, SO that it was like a
hailstorm.
Being surrounded by them on all sides
and finding it impossible to beat the In
dams off, Francisco de Lugo commenced
to retreat in good order for the camp,
having sent a. Cuban Indian who was a
great runner to notify Cortes, that he
might come to his assistance. All this
time Francisco de Lugo was repelling the
attacks of the Indians by his cross bow
men and Arpuebusiers, and sustaining the
Desperate charges of the Indian squadron
as well as he could.
But we will leave him in the great peril
he is in and follow Pedro de Alvarado,
who, when he had marched about a mile,
came to slough, and it pleased God that
he had to change his route toward where
Francisco de Lugo was fighting, as have
described. And hearing the shots and the
shouts and cries of the Indians, and the
sound Of their drums and trumpets, he
Immediately knew that the Indians had
attacked Lugo; so that with all haste he
went to where he was standing at bay
and as soon as he Joined him they forced
the Indians to retire. but could not put
them to flight, and as Lugo and Alvarado
retreated they still continued to follow
them toward our emp.
Cortes had also been attacked by 9th er
large bodies of Indians, but had forced
them to retire by means of the heavy fire
he poured upon them and by the sharp
edge of the swords of his men.
When the messenger arrived we instant
ly set out to the relief of Lugo, but met
that Captain and Alvarado about half a
league from camp.
Francisco de Lugo lost three men and
! had eight wounded, and Pedro de Alva-
RADIO had three wounded, and when we
returned to the camp we buried our dead
! and kept good watch that night. In this
battle we killed fifteen Indians and took
three prisoners, one of whom seemed to
be a chief, and Aguilar told him that
they were foolish to make war on us, and
he sent one with beads to give the chiefs
to induce them to come to peace. The
