hundred and ten soldiers. Ie rescued two Frenchmen and one
Frenchwoman.8
The feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated among the Texas
on the twenty-fifth day of May, in the presence of the [In-

Bayonne, and Santiago Glollette. It further states that the viceroy sent

The Historia gives the names of three French boys, Pedro Talon, Muni,
Roberto, and one girl, Magdalena Talon. The Indians who had possession
of Magdalena Talon and Roberto gave them up only after being defeated
in battle.
The Carta mentions the finding of four boys. Two he mentions by
name-Pedro Muni, a Creole from Paris, apparently about twenty years
old; and Pedro Talo, a Creole from New France, about eleven or twelve.
Later, two others were found among some coast Indians, who readily
agreed to give them up, in consideration of a gift of horses and clothing.
After fulfilling their promises, however, the Indians grew suspicious of
the Spaniards, and began a fight in which four Indians were killed and
two wounded.
