The Mariners of the skiffe set a lande twoo men with Hargabushes, and other two më with Crossebowes, and and _Indian_ who went straight way to the bushes, thinkyng to finde their fellowes. Then stept forth _Cortes_ and caught them before they coulde gette aborde the skiffe, although they meant to haue defended themselues, so that one of them who was a Pilote, hauing his Hargabushe ready charged, & would haue shot at captaine _Hircio_, & assuredly if his match and pouder had bene good he had slayne him. When the general aborde the ships perceiued this deceit, would abide no longer, & cömaunded to make saile, not tarying for his skiffe. By these seuen më taken at two times _Cortes_ was satisfied, & also certified how captain _Garay_ had sayled along the coast séeking _Florida_, and arriued in a riuer, the King of that prouince was called _Panuco_, where they founde little golde, barteryng aborde their shippes, all theyr golde passed not thrée thousande Castelins, but in exchaunge of things of small value, nothing contented _Garay_ on that voyage, bycause the quantitie of golde was small and not fine. With this newes _Cortes_ returned to _Zempoallan_ with his men which he brought in his company: and there concluded and fully agreed with those _Indians_ to pull downe theyr Idols & sepulchres of their _Cassikz_, whiche they did reuerence as Gods, perswading them to worship the God of heauen. And after this doctrine their league of friendship was effectually established, and with other townes adioyning against _Mutezuma_. Those _Indians_ gaue vnto him gagues to be alwayes faithfull of worde & promisse, and offered vnto him as many men fitte for warre & seruice as he would require. _Cortes_ receiued the gagues which were of the principallest persons of the townes, as _Mamexi Teuch_, and _Tamalli_, he tooke also a thousand _Tamemes_, that is to say, men that are carriars, who ordinarily taketh his burden vpon his backe which is halfe a hundred waight, and those fellowes followe the campe with their bagge & bagage: These men serued for horses to draw the ordinance, and to carrie other munition and victuals. Hovv Olintlec exalted the mightie _power of Mutezuma_. _Cortes_ departed frö _Zempoallan_, leauing that towne named _Siuillia_, towarde _Mexico_ the sixtene day of August of the same yéere, with 400. Spaniardes and fiftene horses, & sixe péeces of ordinance, and 1300. _Indians_ w^t the carriers & më of _Cuba_. And whë _Cortes_ departed frö _Zempoallan_ he had not one vassall of _Mutezuma_ in his campe to leade them the way towarde _Mexico_, for al were fledde, seing the new league, or else by commaundement of their Lord, and the _Indians_ of _Zempoallan_ knew not well the way.
