It appears also that chiefs came from Bugay, accompanied by other
Indians. After the same dealings with them as with the others, they
said that Pedro de Sid should be bled with them in order to make the
peace sure, and that each should drink the other's blood. This was
accordingly done, whereupon they gave as recognition a small string
of red beads, together with a little rice, gold, and a few fowls.

_Dungla._ It appears that Don Pedro went afterward to the village
of Dungla, where he was received by the chiefs and a number of
Indians. The same ceremonies were enacted with them as with those
above, and blood friendship was made. Their recognition was one cock,
three chickens, and rice.

_Pamut._ He also went to Pamut, where the same things occurred as
with the others, and he was bled with them.





_Palan; Pao; Balabat; Payta; Balavad; Yanil._ The inhabitants of the
villages of Palan, Pao, Balabat, and Paita did the same. They gave,
as recognition, hens, chickens, swine, and rice. It appears that
he shifted his course at the village of Balabad, and went up the
river. After half a day's journey he reached a village called Yanil,
which he explored anew. The Indians received him gladly, and declared
their pleasure at becoming acquainted with the Castilians. They
confirmed the peace by bleeding themselves as those above had done,
and gave as recognition two fowls and rice.

_Saguli._ On the afternoon of that same day, Don Pedro came upon
another village named Saguli, which is located in the same valley. The
chief and the Indians went out to meet him with expressions of their
joy at becoming acquainted with the Castilians. They made peace after
the manner of those above, and Don Pedro advanced the same arguments
with them as with the inhabitants of the above-named villages.

_Pintian._ Next day Don Pedro discovered the village of Pintian,
where the same proceedings occurred as with those above. They received
him gladly and gave as recognition, venison and sweet potatoes. He
took possession of that place and those above mentioned, as he had
rediscovered them.
