expedition, and that he had fathers to instruct them
in the faith. He gave them some trinkets, and they gave rice and hogs,
and were satisfied.

Thence he went to the village of Paytan, which he found deserted. Three
Indians came with a little rice and a hog; and although he assured
them, so that they might call their people, they returned to the
village and their chiefs. Only one chief came, and the captain detained
him, to act as guide.

_Palali; Buya, with 30 houses; Batobalos; Apio, with 180 houses._
On the twenty-eighth of November, the captain went to the village
of Palali, which he found deserted. From that place four [_sic_]
other villages were seen: Buya, with thirty houses; Batobalos,
the population of which was not known; and Apio, with one hundred

and Aplad. Their population is not known.

By the flight of Chief Ybarat, the captain feared lest he should go to
incite to rebellion the villages that he had left quiet behind. Going
to them, he found the inhabitants of the village of Balagbac in
insurrection, and that of Paytan deserted, while the village of Bugay
was also deserted. Upon reaching the fort, the captain found that
the said Ybarat was inciting the people of his village to assault the
fort; and those who were inside the fort were very fearful, and some
of them sick.

After the captain had provided some necessary things in the fort, he
made another sally and remained away for two days. During that time
he discovered certain very small villages among the mountains. On his
return to the fort, he captured Ybarat, and sent h
