Now the Indians were back.

They had gone a long way until the high mountains were just before them, and there they heard news from the last folk who might be called Guarico and the first folk who might be called Maguana.

The mighty strangers had gone on up into the mountains and Caonabo had put them to death.
"To death!" It appeared that they had seized women and had beaten men whom they thought had gold which they would not give.

They were madmen, Escobedo and Gutierrez and all with them! Guacanagari said that Caonabo had invited them to a feast.

It was spread in three houses, and they were divided so, and around each Spaniard was put a ring of Indians.
