ABSTRACT

As soon as they had the greater portion of the expedition under their command, some of the murderers, with their friends, sallied out armed in search of those who were want­ ing; some they took by force, others they persuaded by threats and promises, and all were brought to the governor’s house, that they might be present at the burial. A pit was dug for both the murdered men in Ursua’s house, so that

they might be together in death as in life ; also that the ex­ pedition might know who was now to be their general, and obey him.
