1540.
On the third of May, 1540, De Soto again set forward on his ad- venturous course, taking with him the beautiful Princess of Cofachiqui and her train.* His route now lay towards the north or northwest, in the direction of the province of Cosa, which was said to be at the distance of twelve days' journey. As the coun- try through which they were to march was represented as bare of provisions, Gronzalo Silvestre and two other cavaliers were detached, with a large hody of horse and foot, to v...isit a village, twelve leagues distant, where there was a great deposit of grain, with which they were to load themselves and rejoin the main army.
* Tlie captivity of the princess ia giyen on the authority of the Portu- oTiese nan'ator; the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega makes no mention of it. The Portugnese narrator intimates that the princess was treated with neglect ; but this is conti-aiy to the general conduct of De Soto towai'ds the caciques whom he detained as hostages.
