Description

Excerpt from The Gallery of Nature and Art, Vol. 3 of 6: Or, a Tour Through Creation and Science Pizarro had no suspicion of the treachery of his oflicer until he learnt the fatal tidings by one of the fifty iu the bark, and this man had been landed on a desert shore, there to perish, because he ex; pressed his abhorrence of such a cruel breach of trust: Pizarro hav ing proceeded onward, happening to reach the spot, and hearing the dreadful tidings, immediately attempted to return to Quito, which was at the distance of twelve hundred miles. In this des ponding rout hunger compelled them to feed On roots and berries, and even to gnaw the leather of their saddles and sword-belts. Four thousand Indians and two hundred and ten Spaniards perish. Ed in this wild, disastrous expedition, which continued near two years; and only fourscore got back to Quito, naked as savages, and so emaciated by famine and fatigue, that they appeared more like spectres than men.
