In the yeare 1622. they came to the Province _Jarguasongo_, which had been discovered by Captaine _Salines_; and they passed the Mountaines _Cordilleræ_, where the River _Maragnon_ is not above a stones cast over. In the Province of the _Inde Mainenses_ they built a City, whose name was St. _Franciscus de Borja_, at _Esquilache_. In his company were one hundred _Spaniards_ in Canows. Having conquered those _Indians_, and compelling them to sweare fealty to the King of _Spaine_; the Colonell being instructed by the _Mainenses_, went to other places, after he had put a Garrison into his new City. Having sailed fifty leagues in the River (he found some Cottages of the _Indians_ which there hid themselves) by favour of many Rivers which there run into _Maragnon_. When they had sayled into the River _Guariaga_, where _Petrus de Orsua_ had built his Brigandines, and was killed by _Aquirre_; they asked the _Indians_ whom they had taken (who were called _Guariaga_, from the Rivers name) what people doe live on the Rivers side? they told the Colonell, that five dayes journey off, there live men of tall stature, comely in presence, and have as great beards as the _Spaniards_ have, valiant, and warlike, who are not skilled in Canowes, though the rest of the _Indians_ use no other; he presently returned the same way he came. _SECT. 10._ In _Farnambuc_ about forty yeares since, eight _Tabaiares_ had a minde to looke out new Countries, and to see whether the Land that was beyond, and unknowne, were inhabited. They having spent foure moneths in travelling Westward, they came to mountaines, to whose top they got with difficulty, and found a plaine which a pleasant river doth compasse, by whose banke side dwelt a people who loved commerce, they were white, and bearded; and this five of the _Tabaires_ (for three perished by the way, and only five returned) told to the _Brasilians_ after nine moneths. _SECT. 11._
