Thence he went to the village of Paytan, which he found deserted.  Three Indians came with a little rice and a hog; and although he assured them, so that they might call their people, they returned to the village and their chiefs.  Only one chief came, and the captain detained him, to act as guide.

Palali; Buya, with 30 houses; Batobalos; Apio, with 180 houses. On the twenty-eighth of November, the captain went to the village of Palali, which he found deserted.  From that place four [sic] other villages were seen:  Buya, with thirty houses; Batobalos, the population of which was not known; and Apio, with one hundred and eighty houses.  The Indians seemed to be much disturbed, and with threats warned the Spaniards to depart from their country, since all the valley was uniting in order to kill them, and that the Pogetes, who are Indians in the more rugged parts of the mountain, had joined the others.  At that place, they killed an Indian guide with a volley of arrows.  This loss was felt deeply, for he had promised to show the Spaniards the mines of Yguat.  An extensive ambuscade was discovered, whereupon the captain ordered a musket and four arquebuses to be fired at the same moment.  With this volley a great noise was heard, and the people fled.  From this point the captain returned to his fort with all his men, for lack of guides, ammunition, and provisions, and with some sick men.  A guide informed him of certain villages located in the mountain to the left, called Piat, Pulinguri, Malias, Ybana, and Aplad.  Their population is not known.

By the flight of Chief Ybarat, the captain feared lest he should go to incite to rebellion the villages that he had left quiet behind.  Going to them, he found the inhabitants of the village of Balagbac in insurrection, and that of Paytan deserted, while the village of Bugay was also deserted.  Upon reaching the fort, the captain found that the said Ybarat was inciting the people of his village to assault the fort; and those who were inside the fort were very fearful, and some of them sick.

After the captain had provided some necessary things in the fort, he made another sally and remained away for two days.  During that time he discovered certain very small villages among the mountains.  On his return to the fort, he captured Ybarat, and sent him to Manila.  Don Luis Dasmarinas had him feasted and delivered him to Don Dionizio Capolo.  After some days Don Luis visited Ybarat and those who accompanied him, and then sent him back, well satisfied, to his own country, in charge of the same Don Dionisio.

The captain again made a trip, to look for some mines that were reported to be situated among those mountains, and a golden goat [53] which people said that a chief had abandoned.  It was all found to be false.  The captain requested permission from Don Luis to return, as he was sick, although the friars had first made the same request, notwithstanding that they had promised great perseverance at first.
