Whilst _Arias_ was consulting about the beforemention’d Affairs, he sent several Comanders to divers Places, to take a survey, and give him an account of their Return of all their Discoveries. Amongst others _Gasper Moralis_ was order’d to march towards the _South Sea_, to confirm the Peace which _Nunnez_ had begun with the Kings _Chiapes_ and _Tumaccus_; and chiefly to go to the Pearl-Island with sixty Men, which _Nunnez_ was forc’d to leave, being stress’d by tempestuous Weather. _Chiapes_ and _Tumaccus_ were according to their promise, to prepare an Army ready for his assistance against his coming; which indeed they perform’d, so that they wanted nothing but Vessels, for the biggest of theirs could not carry above three or four Men; yet they undertaking their Enterprise, Landed seventy Men on the Island; upon which the Inhabitants under their Kings Conduct ran to meet the new Landed Forces, and crying out aloud _Guazzavara_, _Guazzavara_, they ran in amongst the Musqueteers with their woodden Swords; but the report of the Guns, mix’d with Fire, Smoak, and Bullets, soon amaz’d them: the King flying, thought by alarm to raise all the Islanders; but they being inform’d, that no People whatsoever could withstand the fire-spitting People, made Articles of agreement with _Moralis_, and Condition’d to deliver a hundred pound weight of the choicest Pearls to the use of the King of _Castile_; and as a testimony of his Friendship he was Christen’d _Peter Arias_, from the Governors Name of _New Andalusia_. [Sidenote: Strange Pearl.] How great the Treasure was which _Moralis_ brought from the Pearl Island may appear by one of the Pearls, for which Pope _Leo_ the tenth gave forty four thousand _Ducats_ to a _Venetian_ Merchant. [Sidenote: _Solisius_ his miserable end.] Amongst the Commanders which were sent out by _Arias_, was also _Johannes Solisius_, who Sailing six hundred Leagues Southerly, along the Coast of the _Caribbies_, beyond _Cape St. Augustine_, he found the Inhabitants of _Pernambuck_ to be no less cruel than subtile; for being invited ashore, he with some of his Men Row’d thither, where no sooner Landing, but were all kill’d and eaten in the sight of the other Sea-men aboard; at which being amaz’d they weighed Anchor, and Sail’d away, Freighted onely with _Brasile_ Wood, to _Cadiz_.
