The bold and independent islanders opposed a stubborn resistance to the arms of the Incas ; and, though they had finally yielded, they had been ever since at feud, and often in deadly hos- tility, with their neighbors of Tumbez. The latter no sooner heard of Pizarro's arrival on the island than, trusting probably to their former friendly relations with him, they came over in some number to the Spanish quarters. The presence of their detested rivals was by no means grateful to the jealous inhabi...tants of Puna, and the prolonged residence of the white men on their island could not be otherwise than burdensome. In their outward demeanor they still maintained the same show of amity; but Pizarro*s interpreters again put him on his guard against the proverbial perfidy of their hosts. With his suspicions thus roused, the Spanish commander was informed that a number of the chiefs had met together to de- liberate on a plan of insurrection. Not caring to wait for the springing of the mine, he surrounded the place igitized by VjOOQ IC 324 CONQUEST OF PERU, of meeting with his soldiers and made prisoners of the suspected chieftains.
