ABSTRACT
On arriving near the province of Los Aymaraes, Hernando Pizarro heard that there was a Spaniard in the village of Totora. This was Rodrigo de Lora, sent by the Adelantado from Vilcas. When he arrived in Los Aymaraes, Hernando Pizarro sent some soldiers to capture him and bring him into his presence. He also sent Indians to cut wood for making pikes, and as many were made as were wanted, under the superintendence of the quartermaster, Pedro de Valdivia. Those who were sent to arrest Lora did it cleverly, and he was brought before Hernando Pizarro, who asked him what he knew of Almagro? He replied that he was already in Cuzco.
