[79] We are not told whether Gómez de Tordoya then heard of the heroic death of his young son, who was Pizarro's page.

[81] See Hakluyt Society's vol., [Series II, vol. xxviii], p. 159, for the expedition of the Bishop of Plasencia. It consisted of three small vessels commanded by Don Alonso de Camargo, and left Spain in August 1539. Camargo lost his own ship at the entrance of the first Narrows, in the Strait of Magellan. The second ship returned. Camargo went on in the third ship. He reached Valparaiso, put in at Quilca, the port of Arequipa, and finally reached Callao, the first ship that ever gained the west coast of South America by the Strait. Camargo settled at La Plata (Chuquisaca) and was put to death by Carbajal.
[82] Sebastián de Belalcázar, after exploring Popayán and Cali, and founding the cities, had gone to Spain to obtain a grant as Governor. Pascual de Andagoya, an original citizen of Panamá, was in Spain in 1538, and received a grant on the Pacific coast from the Gulf of San Miguel to the river San Juan, with the title of Adelantado. He landed at Buenaventura and marched to Cali and Popayán. These cities were not in his jurisdiction, but he was justified in going there, in the absence of Belalcázar, owing to the disturbed state of the country. Meanwhile Belalcázar had obtained the governorship he sought, with the title of Adelantado. On finding Andagoya at Popayán, he had thrown him into prison.
[83] Belalcázar at last allowed Andagoya to proceed to Buenaventura, with his brother-in-law Alonso de Peña, where they embarked for Panamá. Andagoya proceeded to Spain, having lost his government and 70,000 castellanos de Oro (over £140,000 of our money). In 1546 he again went out with Pedro de la Gasca, was at the battle of Sacsahuana, and died at Cuzco in 1548. See the Narrative of Pascual de Andagoya (Hakluyt Society's [vol. 34] for 1865).
