by those who had taken part in the first en-
terprises, did not discourage others or deter
them from essaying to achieve success where
their luckless predecessors had failed The
vague and conflicting reports about the rich
and powerful tribe of Indians east of the An
des and north of the Amazon called the Oma-
guas, were sufficient to determine the
organization and equipment Of new expeditions
without delay the aim of all Of which to
discover the everalluring and elusive Ell
Dorado
Even before Orellana had embarked for
Spain to seek the governorship of the region
he had discovered, another expedition in
search of the "gilded man" was nearing us
termination. This under the command Oh
Fernan Perez de Quesada, who, like SO many
others had been captivated by the glowing az
counts of Ell Dorados riches given him py tiie
soldiers of Belalcazar and resolved 1ortnwi.n
to abandon the comforts and luxurles, WHICH,
as governor of New Granada, he enjoyed DUR
ing the absence in Spain of his brother ton
zalo, and go in pursuit of fitting phantom.
This enterprise consisting of more than zoo
men having 200 horses, was begun at IunJa'
north of Bogota, in September, 154o Inc ao-
venturers after crossing the eastern Corolllera
and reaching what are now known as the
Ilanos of Colombia, advanced toward the sonth'
with the Sierras on their right and the broad
grassy plains Of the lowlands on the left. Their
hardships and sufferings In the wilderness
from lack of food were appalling enough, but
they were still more intensified by the inces-
SAINT rains and by the frequent attacks OF saw
age Indians. But Notwithstanding all these
difficulties they eventually succeeded in reach
ing the headwaters of the Caqueta and In
penetrating even the land of Canela, which had
but a short time previously witnessed the
homeward march of Gonzalo PizZaro and his
HELPLESS band Quesada's expedition, like
Pizarro's, lasted 16 months, during which he
lost so men and all his horses. And like his
illstarred predecessor, he had nothing to show
for his enormous expenditure of energy and
courage but depleted purse. And withal,
Ell Dorado was still far away from the
eager, expectant Spaniards as ever.
While Quesada was cutting his way through
the impenetrable jungles Of the montana, an
other expedition was organizing at Coro In
northwestern Venezuela under Philip Won Hut
ten a relative of the Welsers, the rich German
bankers of Augsburg who then held from the
Emperor Charles v. large concession or land
in TERRA Firme and who were bent on secur-
ing part of the vast treasures reported TO De
in the territory coded them by the Spanish
monarch.
Won Hutton had $50 men under MS com
mand when he left Coro in June, 1541. he
went by sea to Burburata. thence to valencia
and Barquisimeto whence he started for the

But pressed as they were by hunger and
spent by toll so that they could scarcely move.
these determined men of blood and iron still
persisted In their course They found the land
Oh cinnamon, but as they had set out in quest
or Ell Dorado they were loath notwithstanding
the countless difficulties which beset their
path, to desist from their undertaking. In or
der to make better Roadway, Pzarro resolved
TO construct brfgantine. Under the circum-
stances this was herculean task for he had
neither the materials nor the necessary work
men. This vessel, which was constructed I'M
der such adverse conditions, was remarkable
not only as bling the first foated on these in
land waters by Europeans but also as the one
that was soon afterwards utilized in making
one of the most notable voyages recorded in
the annals of discovery. For 1t was the San
Pedro-this was the name of the brigantine--
that enabled Orellana Pizzaro's lieutenant, to
discover the mighty Amazon, and that with the
Victoria, which was built after the San Pedro
carried the leader and his intrepid companions
in safety to the island of Cubagua, north Of the
coast of Venezuela.
For courage and constancy in the modst of
untold hardships and dangers the expedition
OF Gonzalo Pizarro was truly remarkable The
intrepid adventures composing it had to con-
tend at every step with gigantic and invfnci-
BILE enemy-rude and savage nature with all
its powerful elements of destruction.
Gomara travelled 400 leagues the entire dis
lance through painless wilderness" OF the
200 and more that started 1t less than q
hundred returned to Quito and among them
was not a single one Of the 1000 Indians who
had accompanied them on their departure.
And what was the net result of this expedi-
ton? Outside of the discovery of the Amazon
by Orellana which was incidental, 1t was vir-
tually nil The Adventures found, 1t is true,
the land of cinnamon, but the trees bearing
the precious bark so few and widely sep
arated and so far away from means OF trans
portation, that they were practically valueless.
Beyond certain vague rumors of rich and
powerful chief living somewhere between the
Amazon and the Rio Negro they could secure
no information regarding the gilded king and
the province OF gold that were the objects OF
their quest And what seems passing strange
Is that Padre Carbajal, the chroniclsr OF Orel-
iana's expedition makes no mention whatever
OF FL Dorado, although he must have known
that II was this mysterious character that Con-
zalo Pizarro had chiefly in view when he left
Quito for the land of Canela Aside. then,
from their value to geographical science tue
exneditions of both Pizarro and Orellanas were
as barren of the results sought as was tha1 Oh
Belalcazar a few years before.

Confederates spread for moment
and then came back again to the
charge. They were piled five and six
high in front of the guns before they
were ordered back to their lines.
Evening came, and there was no

when we expected to be attacked we
found that the enemy had left. So
we went down and took Van Buren,
