announced their intention to kill them,' on seeing them mount
their horses, attacked them and with the whole community of the
pueblo followed, fighting them as they fled across the fields,2 for a
distance of more than two leagues,8 when, as Granillo stated it,
God was pleased that they should meet the Lieutenant-General,
Alonso Garcia, with four soldiers,4 to whom a despatch had pre-
viously been sent for aid.5 It was past midnight on the night
of August 10 when Garcia met Granillo and his party with the
religious guardian, Fray Mufioz, fleeing in advance on horseback.8
And the Indians, seeing the aid which the alcalde thus received,
ceased fighting and following them,7 and the party made its way
to the pueblo of Sia.
At Sia they found the padre Nicolas Hurtado with three Span-
iards defending themselves in the strongest part of the convent,
with the beasts locked in with them. And "God was pleased" that
they should escape with Garcia and Granillo, though when the In-
dians noticed that they were going out, with great shouts and the
ringing of bells, "they attempted to execute their treason on the
said religious and Spaniards." Thus it was with much danger that
the entire party was able to make its way to the pueblo of Santa
Ana, which was found deserted by men, though the women there
said with much impudence that their husbands had gone to kill
all the Spaniards. Leaving this place, the refugees proceeded to
the pueblo of Sandia in the Rio Abajo country."

8Garcia says (Auto of Garcia, in Auttos tocantes, 17) that the Indians
of Jemez followed them as far as the pueblo of Sia. Granillo (Auttos
toaontes, 27) says that they followed them more than two leagues.
'Garcfa upon the receipt of Granillo's call for help on August 10 had
started from Rio Abajo with eight soldiers (see "notificasion y Prision,"
in Auttos tocantes, 14) though only four are mentioned as being with
him when Granillo was met. (See Auto of Garcia, Ibid., 17.) It is
probable that the other four had gone on another rescue expedition in a
different direction. (See Auttos tocantes, 28.)
