By A.S. Valverde. McCullagh's Industrial History of Free Nations; the Dutch, Vol. II. p. 51. The History and Present Condition of St. Domingo, by J. Brown, M. D., 1837, p. 40. Domingue, Tom. He was recalled, and beheaded at Seville, because he had bought negroes of foreigners. I was born in a small town of Virginia.
But mine," he concluded, pointing to his Deity, then, alas! sinking in glory behind the mountains, "my God still lives in the heavens, and looks down on his children." 18 He then demanded of Valverde by what authority he had said these things. The friar pointed to the book which he held, as his authority.
The enemy's skirmishers were driven off; a section of the "Valverde" battery, Captain Sayres, rapidly advanced; the fire of the gunboat was silenced in a moment, and she surrendered, with two companies of infantry on board. She was armed with a thirty-pounder Parrott and two field guns, and had her boilers protected by railway iron.
Then Pizarro accused his treasurer and Father Valverde of having deceived him in the matter and brought about the catastrophe; and they in their turn exculpated themselves, and upbraided Pizarro as the only one responsible for the deed, and the quarrel was fierce between them.
Father Valverde accompanied the Peruvian chieftain to the stake. He seems always to have been present at this dreary moment, anxious to profit by it, if possible, to work the conversion of the victim.
In the meantime the enemy masked, and made five successive charges on our batteries, determined to capture them as they had captured Canby's at Valverde. At one time they were within forty yards of Slough's batteries, their slouch hats drawn down over their faces, and rushing on with deafening yells.
"My mine, at the same time, was plundered and destroyed; many of the workmen were slaughtered before they could escape; and the work itself, with my fortune, became a ruin. "With some of the miners, who had fled, and others of Valverde, who, like me, had suffered, I organised a band, and followed the savage foe; but our pursuit was vain, and we turned back, many of us broken in health and heart.
The people melted away, and fine houses, which were deserted by their owners, remained tenantless, and went to ruin. Valverde, a Creole of the island, is the chronicler of its condition in the middle of the eighteenth century.
As the poor Inca stood bound to the stake, with the fagots of his funeral pile heaped around him, Valverde, the Dominican friar, made a last appeal to him to accept the cross and be baptized, promising him a less painful death if he would consent. The Inca, shrinking from the horror of the flames, consented, and was duly baptized under the name of Juan de Atahualpa.
When near enough to calculate on our arrival at Las Palomas, the old ranchero quit us and went on into the ranch. Several days later a vaquero met the herd about thirty miles south of Santa Maria, and brought the information that the Valverde outfit was at the ranch, and instructions to veer westward and drive down the Ganso on approaching the Nueces.
