When the inhabitants saw them coming, many assembled together in arms.

They caught there three boys, the oldest being about seven years of age, and twenty pigs.

With these they began to retreat, and the natives, with vigour and bravery, attacked their vanguard, centre and rearguard, shooting many arrows.

The chiefs came to the encounter, and by their charges forced the Spaniards to lose the ground they were gaining.
Arrived at a certain pass, they found the rocks occupied by many natives, who were animated by the desire to do them as much harm as possible.

Here was the hardest fight, their arrows and stones hurled down from the heights causing great damage to the party.
When the captain heard the noise of the muskets and the shouting, he ordered three guns to be fired off, to frighten the natives and encourage his people, and the better to effect this at the port, those in the ships and on the beach were sent to support the retreating party in great haste.
