with

the recruits that

brought

made up the number
of

three
hundred and
fifty
Spaniardt,
marched
careldly towards
Couo,
and
with
fudi
fecuriey, as
if
they had no Enemy co encounter, and
as
if
the whole Kingdom
had been their own, travelling from one Town
to
another, as
in
their own Coun–
trey,
without fear or apprehenfion of any
thing.
Caritte
in
'the
8th Chapter
of
his
fecond Book, touches on this particular, and relates a brave Exploit perfor...
med
by
the
Indian
Captains, as we {ball fee hereafter, though he vari€s fomerbing
from
others
in
their Names.
'The
Inca
Titu Atauchi,
Brother of
A tahnt1t:lpa,
feeing
che
King
a Prifoner, and his Ranfome agreed, travelled into
divers
p;).r ts
of the
Kingdom to collett
all
rhe Gold and Silver he was able, that
rhere\.\
ith he
might
purchafe the freedom of his Brother; and being rernrned as far as
Caf[amarca
,~;ith
va!l: riches in Gold and Silver, he received news of the Death of his Brother ,
and
that the
SpaniaydJ
were departed for
Couo,
and fecurely t!°avelling on their
way thither
in
no order or pofiure
to
receive an Enemy : the which \\·hen
Tiru
Atauchi
had heard and confidered, he disburthened himfelf fhi Riches; and ha–
ving gathered and joyned what forces he could in a Body, he purfoed
che
Sfani-
11.rd1
as far as to the Pro ince
HuayllM,
and amongll the people called
Toilo,
where
with
fix
rhoufand Men he made an aifault upon
the
Spaniard1,
and took eight of
them Prifoners, who were as yet in their Quarters, amongG: which was
Sancho de
Cuellar,
who was the Clerk that drew up the Indietment and Sentence of Death
againll
Atahualpa.
Garate
touches up:::m this paffage, and
fays
it
v.
as
~iz:.qui~
that
did this Exploit , but he mifiakes one for the other, aod makes no men–
tion of any taken. WhilO: matters paffed thus
in
.HuayllM,
the
Spaniard1
bad
another
Skirmifh
with the
Jndian1,
who were Commanded
by
Major-General
·
~:t.quiz:.,
one of the mofi famous Captains belonging to
Atahualpa,
ofwhom '"e
have already made mention: For he having at
Couo
received advice that his
l
ing
was taken and made a Prifoner, marched with his Squadron, c09fill:ing of eleven or
twelve thou'.fand Men towards
Caj[ainarca,
to
endeavour either
by
fair
or foul
rn~ns
the releafement of his
Inca ;
but meeting with tbe
Spaniard1
on hi march
thid:er, he engaged
witli
them, and fought a
fiout
Bartel, \ hich H;i fioria n re-

fhort and confufedly, but much in favour of
the
Spaniard1.
