ABSTRACT
Some say that Orellana and his companions deserted Pizarro without his knowledge, and others that they continued the voyage with their commander’s permission, in a barque which they had built, and some canoes. Voyaging, as they say, with the design of returning to Gonzalo Pizarro, with provisions, they found themselves, after going over two hundred leagues, unable to return, and, therefore, continued to sail on until they came out into the ocean.
