_Peter Arias_ Knight, accompany’d with his Wife, _Elizabeth Boadilla_, set Sail _Anno 1514._ but surpriz’d by a violent Storm, lost two Ships, and return’d to _Spain_, yet not long after began his Voyage afresh, notwithstanding he had lately had such bad success, and heard of the great hardship which _Nicuesa_ suffer’d, having not onely kept himself alive a considerable time by feeding on flesh of Dogs, and other such like Creatures; a great Frog being sold in _Veragua_ for a lump of Gold. [Sidenote: Dogs us’d in the Wars.] [Sidenote: Sodomy horribly punish’d.] [Sidenote: _Nunnez_ first discovers the South Sea.] [Sidenote: Is in great danger on the South-Sea.] But _Vaschus Nunnez_ inform’d of _Arias_ arrival, the chief Governor of _Uraba_, afterwards call’d _New Andaluzia_, minding to inrich himself before he should depose him, and hearing that several Gold Mines lay Southward from _Uraba_, march’d thither with a hundred and ninety Men, thorow great Rivers, Thickets, and Woods full of Wild Beasts, deep Vallies, and broad Rivers, not without many hazards and difficulties. In the Mountainous Territory _Quarequan_, the Inhabitants ingag’d him valiantly, with Bows, Arrows, Clubs, Woodden Swords, Pikes and Launces, but frighted with the meer report of their Musquets, like flocks of wild Fowl, dissipated and fled, but not so fast, but that six hundred of them fell by the hands of the _Spaniards_, or were worry’d by their Dogs, train’d up on purpose for the _American_ Wars.
