Ships, of which he lost two, the one Commanded by _Lupus de Olana_, and the other by _Peter Umbria Olana_, which was stranded in the River _Veragua_, which gives name to the whole Island, but he built a new _Carvil_, whereas that of _Lupus Olana_ was bilg’d among the Rocks. Little better success had _Nicuesa_, whose Ship over-turning with a Tempest, he with a few of his Men made land upon _Veragua_, where he rang’d up and down in a miserable condition, on a barren, and in a manner desolate Shore seventy days: All that time, finding no other Food than Wild Roots, who wandring up and down, at last met with _Olana_, a little before cast away on the same Isle, whom he secur’d, because he presum’d to usurp the Title, and be prime Commander of that Countrey. Upon which, the _Spaniards_ being divided, some for _Ancisus_, some for _Olana_, the difference more and more encreasing, would not be reconcil’d, till the Famine over-powering, master’d both, so that not being able to handle their Arms, the Salvages flew them at their pleasure, by this means in a short time, of seven hundred eighty five, remain’d scarce ninety; yet did not all this misery work any thing upon the ambitious humor of _Vasques Nunnez_, who rebelling against _Ancisus_, split that small remainder of Men, and with the help of those he had drawn over to his Party, made himself Governor of _Uraba_, not possible to be long enjoy’d without speedy supply, which soon after they receiv’d; for _Colmenares_ Sailing from _Hispaniola_ with Provisions, arriv’d there the 15. of _October, Anno 1510_. having been toss’d twenty three days at Sea; then making into the River _Gaira_, to furnish himself with fresh Water, he lost forty seven Men; for whilst they were filling their Casks, seven hundred of the Salvages came down upon them, and with their Poyson’d Arrows wounded and kill’d most of them. _Colmenares_ came in a good time to the remainder under _Ancisus_ Command, being in danger of death for want of Provisions, and finding the factions that were among them about Superiority, he thought it fit, consulting with some of the chiefest of them, to find out _Nicuesa_, who was indeed the Governor that had the Grant from the King: This agreed, _Colmenares_ went to search, and at last lighted upon him, building a Fortress against the assaults of the Enemies on the Promontory. _Mormor_, he was glad to find him, but griev’d to see the misery and hardship they endur’d, most of his Men being kill’d, partly by the excessive Heats, partly by Famine, and partly by the cruelty of the Natives, so that he had onely sixty remaining, and those many of them also sick and weak. _Colmenares_ having deliver’d his Message, _Nicuesa_ broke up his Quarters, and sleighting the Fort, went with him, but both himself and his Men were oppos’d from Landing by _Nunnez_; wherefore _Nicuesa_ was necessitated to Steer for _Hispaniola_; whom, or what became of him was never known.
