hers had done, and gave as their recognition
small trinkets of gold necklaces, _cornerillas_ [cornerinas?], [51]
and other trifles. The Indians of Boloc alone seized their weapons
and fled to the open fields.

By the sixth or seventh of August, they had already consumed the
food that they had brought, and what they had seized at Tuy and
other villages; and they had seized some without paying for it, as
appears from the original. Don Luis reached three little hamlets, and,
calling an Indian, the latter told him that his chief was gone to make
peace with the Spaniards who were coming up the river; and that if
Spaniards came both up and down the river, they were to escape. Don
Luis saw also the old village of Yugan, which was then divided
among the three hamlets above, for they did not dare to live in the
village after killing seven Spaniards, who had come up the river from
Cagayan with assurances of safety. Don Luis returned to the hamlets,
and, after summoning the chiefs, four of them came. These, together
with some Indians, rendered homage, and promised to pay tribute;
and by way of acknowledgment, they pardoned the damage committed
by Don Luis in one of the hamlets. When they offered to ransom some
women and children who were in the camp, Don Luis gave these to the
Indians freely, so that they might understand that the Spaniards did
not come to harm them. The Indians swore, with the candle ceremony,
to remain obedient and to pay tribute. The province of Tuy, it seems,
ends at that place. On the ninth or tenth of August, Don Luis embarked
on the river of Tuy, which is the same river as Cagayan, otherwise
called Nueva Segovia. It appears that he did no more than the above.

_Relation of what Don Francisco de Mendoza did in the exploration of
the said province_.

_Gomez Perez Dasmarinas_. At the beginning of August of the same
year, Gomez Perez Dasmarinas sent Don Francisco de Mendoca with
a troop of soldiers after Don Luis Dasmarinas, his son. Having
reached Tuy on the nineteenth of the said month, the chiefs gave
him a cordial reception, and he traded with them, especially with
one of the principal women. Thence, accompanied by this woman, and
other Indians of her village, who aided him in carrying the burdens
of his stores, he went to Bantal. There he found a cross erected,
and the inhabitants of the village drawn up near it with lance and
shield, as if about to offer him battle. He asked nothing from them,
