We should also very likely fall into the power of some of the broken parties of Catari's army, dispersed by the Spaniards; and they, enraged by the disaster which has befallen them, would, seeing that we were whites, kill us without asking us any questions."
As they did so a bright flame shot up from the furthest hut, and the rest of the party rushed out and joined them.
