went out eight horsemen by commandment of the Governor into the field, two leagues about the town, to seek Indians; for they were now so emboldened, that within two crossbow shot of the camp, they came and slew men. They found two men and a woman gathering French beans; the men, though they might have fled, yet because they would not leave the woman, which was one of their wives, they resolved to die fighting; and before they were slain, they wounded three horses, whereof one died within a few days after. _Calderan_ going with his men by the sea-coast, from a wood that was near the place, the Indians set upon him, and made him forsake his way, and many of them that went with him forsook some necessary victuals, which they carried with them. Three or four days after the limited time given by the Governor to _Maldonado_ for his going and coming, being already determined and resolved, if within eight days he did not come, to tarry no longer for him, he came, and brought an Indian from a province which was called _Ochus_, sixty leagues westward from _Apalache_; where he had found a port of good depth, and defence against weather. And because the Governor hoped to find a good country forward, he was very well contented. And he sent _Maldonado_ for victuals to _Havana_, with order that he should tarry for him at the port of _Ochus_, which he had discovered, for he would go seek it by land; and if he should chance to stay, and not come thither that summer, that then he should return to _Havana_, and should come again the next summer after, and tarry for him at that port; for he said he would do none other thing but go to seek _Ochus_. _Francisco Maldonado_ departed, and in his place for captain of the footmen remained _John de Guzman_. Of those Indians which were taken in _Napetuca_, the Treasurer _John Gaytan_ had a young man, which said that he was not of that country, but of another far off toward the sun rising, and that it was long since he had traveled to see countries; and that his country was called _Yupaha_, and that a woman did govern it; and that the town where she was resident was of a wonderful bigness, and that many lords round about were tributaries to her; and some gave her clothes, and others gold in abundance; and he told how it was taken out of the mines, and was molten and refined, as if he had seen it done, or the devil had taught it him. So that all those which knew anything concerning the same, said that it was impossible to give so good a relation, without having seen it; and all of them, as if they had seen it, by the signs that he gave, believed all that he said to be true.
