Text Appearing Before Image:
heir defensive weapons ordered the fallenchief to stretch forth his right arm, and with oneblow struck it off. The Indians were superstitious. Anything out ofthe ordinary filled them with dread. Many refusedto stand and fight because Balboa rode into battleon a white horse. Some trained blood hounds thatthe Spaniards took into battle with them also terri-fied them. Doing battle with them in the open wasalmost like slaughtering sheep. Only in ambushwere they formidable. It may be noted in passingthat not all the barbarities were on the Spanish side.One of Balboas most trusted lieutenants, Valdivia,was caught in a tempest and his ship wrecked.Those who escaped were captured by the natives,penned up and fattened for a cannibal feast. Theday of festivity arriving Valdivia and four of hiscompanions were conducted to the temple and thereoffered up a sacrifice. Their hearts were cut outwith knives of obsidian and offered to the gods whiletheir bodies were roasted and devoured by the savages.
Text Appearing After Image:
Photo, Prof. Otto Lutz A GROUP OF CHOLO INDIANS News from Madrid convinced Balboa that he wasin disfavor at court. Some great exploit wasneeded to reestablish his prestige. He determinedto seek without delay that new sea of which he hadbeen told, and to this end gathered an army of 190Spaniards and about 1,000 Indians. A pack of thetrained European war dogs were taken along. Theold chroniclers tell singular tales about these dogs.Because of the terror they inspired among theIndians they were held more formidable than anequal number of soldiers. One great red dog with ablack muzzle and extraordinary strength was en-dowed with the rank of a captain and drew the payof his rank. In battle the brutes pursued the fleeingIndians and tore their naked bodies with their fangs.It is gravely reported that the Captain coiold dis-tinguish between a hostile and a friendly native. It is practically impossible to trace now the exactline followed by Balboa across the Isthmus. Visitorsto the Canal Zone
