snout of a cubit long, and at the end of the upper lip it was made like a peel. There was another fish called a western shad; and all of them had scales, except the bagres, and the peel fish. There was another fish which sometimes the Indians brought us, of the bigness of a hog; they called it the pereo fish; it had rows of teeth beneath and above. The Cacique of _Casqui_ sent many times great presents of fish, mantles, and skins. He told the Governor that he would deliver the Cacique of _Pacaha_ into his hands. He went to _Casqui_, and sent many canoes up the river, and came himself by land with many of his people. The Governor, with forty horsemen and sixty footmen, took him along with him up the river. And his Indians which were in the canoes, discovered where the Cacique of _Pacaha_ was, in a little island, situated between two arms of the river. And five Christians entered into a canoe, wherein _Don Antonio Osorio_ went before, to see what people the cacique had with him. There were in the isle five or six thousand souls. And as soon as they saw them, supposing that the Indians which were in the other canoes were also Christians, the cacique, and certain which were in three canoes, which they had there with them, fled in great haste to the other side of the river. The rest, with great fear and danger, leapt into the river, where many people were drowned, especially women and little children. Presently the Governor, who was on land, not knowing what had happened to _Don Antonio_ and those that went with him, commanded the Christians with all speed to enter with the Indians of _Casqui_ in the canoes, which were quickly with _Don Antonio_ in the little island, where they took many men and women, and much goods. Great store of goods, which the Indians had laid upon hurdles of canes and rafts of timber to carry over to the other side, drove down the river, wherewith the Indians of _Casqui_ filled their canoes; and for fear lest the Christians would take it from them, the cacique went home with them down the river, without taking his leave of the Governor; whereupon the Governor was highly offended with him, and presently returning to _Pacaha_, he overran the country of _Casqui_ the space of two leagues, where he took twenty or thirty of his men. And because his horses were weary, and he wanted time that day to go any farther, he returned to _Pacaha_, with determination within three or four days after to invade _Casqui_. And presently he let loose one of the Indians of _Pacaha_, and sent word by him to the cacique, that if he would have his friendship, he should repair unto him, and that both of them would make war upon _Casqui_. And presently came many Indians that belonged to _Pacaha_, and brought an Indian instead of the cacique, which was discovered by the cacique's brother, which was taken prisoner. The Governor wished the Indians that their master himself should come; for he knew very well
