The Governor answered him, that because he did not find him in that town, he was incensed against him, thinking he had absented himself, as others had done: but seeing he now knew his loyalty and love, he would always hold him as a brother, and favor him in all his affairs. The cacique went with him to the town where he resided, which was a day's journey from thence. They passed through a small town, where there was a lake, where the Indians made salt: and the Christians made some one day while they rested there, of a brackish water, which sprang near the town in ponds like fountains. The Governor stayed in _Chaguate_ six days. There he was informed of the habitation towards the west. They told him, that three days' journey from thence was a province called _Aguacay_. The day that he departed from _Chaguate_, a Christian, called _Francisco de Guzman_, the base son of a gentleman of _Seville_, stayed behind, and went to the Indians, with an Indian woman which he kept as his concubine, for fear he should be punished for gaming debts that he did owe. The Governor had traveled two days before he missed him; he sent the cacique word to seek him up, and to send him to _Aguacay_, whither he traveled: which he did not perform. From the Cacique of _Aguacay_, before they came into the country, there met him on the way fifteen Indians with a present of skins, fish, and roasted venison. The Governor came to this town on Wednesday, the fourth of July. He found the town without people, and lodged in it: he stayed there about a day; during which, he made some roads, and took many men and women. There they had knowledge of the _South Sea_. Here there was great store of salt made of sand, which they gather in a vein of ground like pebble stones. And it was made as they made salt in _Cayas_.
