ABSTRACT
AS the camp at Guaraz was so near to the camp of Alonso de Alvarado the news of what was passing reached there quickly, and Pero Alvarez, with the rest, were greatly pleased. For they had been encamped there many days and were anxious to depart. So they at once made ready to welcome the Governor, and Captain Castro presently set out with a small escort for the place where he was quartered. On arriving in Vaca de Castro’s presence the latter greeted him with much affection, as a relation of his own through the Countess of Lemos, 1 with whom Vaca de Castro also claimed near relationship.
