Something special deserves to be said about Panfilo de Narvaez, since it was he who set the Spanish exploration of the territory of the United States in motion. He landed on the west coast of Florida in 1548, and after penetrating only a little way into the interior was driven out by the Indians.
"What do you mean by that?" "You transferred Panfilo because he was growing jealous of you and Rosa." Ed burst into sudden laughter. "Good Lord! There's no harm in a little flirtation. Rosa's a pretty girl." His wife uttered a breathless, smothered exclamation; her hands, as they lay on the table-cloth, were tightly clenched. "She's your tenant almost your servant. What kind of a man are you?
Believing that Panfilo would turn up at La Feria in due time, she gave little heed to José's dark threats of vengeance for any injury to his relative. The horse-breaker's concern increased as the days passed, and to the lieutenant and members of the guard he repeated his threats.
Nay, not satisfied even with this, he employed other symbols and metaphors, and labored earnestly to discipline me in such manner of speech; and, to render me the more assured of his unalterable love, he named me Fiammetta, and himself Panfilo. Woe is me!
I rode from that accursed spot as if Panfilo's ghost pursued me and I am here. I shall rouse the country; the people shall demand the blood of my cousin's assassin. It is the crime of a century." "Wait! When you spoke to me last I didn't dream that Panfilo was dead, but since then I have learned the truth, and why he was killed.
Suddenly, without warning, he sent him away, though Panfilo did not wish to go, Benito told me all about it." "Why was he transferred? Come! What ails your tongue, Dolores?" "Well, I keep my eyes open and my ears, too. I am no fool " Dolores paused doubtfully. "Yes, yes!" Dolores drew closer. "Rosa Morales you know the girl? Her father works the big pump-engine at the river.
"Dave told us how he had killed Panfilo " She hesitated, and then cried, impulsively: "Mrs. Austin, I'm going to confess something I've got to tell somebody or I'll burst. I was walking the floor when you came. Well, Dad and Dave have completely lost their wits. They have gone across the river to get Ricardo Guzman's body." "What?" Alaire stared at the girl uncomprehendingly.
Narrative of a Disastrous attempt by Panfilo de Narvaez to conquer Florida; together with some account of that Country The abortive attempt of Panfilo de Narvaez to supersede Cortes in the command of the expedition against Mexico has been already related.
No farther attempt appears to have been made towards the conquest and settlement of Florida by the Spaniards, till the year 1528, when Panfilo de Narvaez made a most disastrous expedition to that country, which will form the subject of the ensuing section of this chapter; except that about the year 1525, the licentiate Luke Vasquez de Ayllon sailed with three ships for that country from Santiago in the island of Hispaniola . Vasquez arrived with his small armament at Cape Santa Elena in Florida, where he found an Indian town called Oritza; since named Chicora by the Spaniards, and another town in the neighbourhood called Guale, to which the Spaniards have given the name of Gualdape.
She was not afraid of Anto, having dealt with Mexican vaqueros for several years, yet she could not forget that he was a murderer, and she wondered what she was expected to do if he should try to escape. It was absurd to suppose that Panfilo, her own hired man, could be capable of treachery; the mere suspicion was a sort of reflection upon her.
