The savage, in his terror, confessed that he had been ordered by his Cacique to bewilder them in uninhabited deserts, but offered to take them in three days, to a populous country to the west. Moscoso, however, yielding to the impulses of his indig- nation at this treachery, again* ordered the dogs to be let loose, who, ravenous with hunger, tore the unfortunate wretch to pieces. Having thus gratified their passion, the Spaniards found themselves worse off than before, for they had no one to gu...ide them, as permission had been given to the other In-' dians, who had brought the supplies, to return home. In this dilemma, they followed the directions of their victim, by marching west- ward; thus giving credit, after his death, to what they disbelieved while he was living. They travelled three days, suffering exces- sively for want of food. Fortunately the forests were clear and open; for had these been so thick as those which the troops had formerly traversed, they must have perished with hun- ger before they could have made their way through them.
