Question

9.
Write a precis of the following passage. Give a
suitable title :
(10)
The first care of Nicuesa, on resuming the general
command, was to take measures for the relief of
his people, who had strength sufficient to bear the
least fatigue, were sent on foraging parties among
the fields and villages of the natives. It was a
service of extreme peril; for the Indians of this
part of the coast were force and warlike, and were
the same who had proved as formidable to
Columbus and his brother when they attempted to
find a settlement in this neighborhood.
Many the Spaniards were slain in these
expedition. Even if they successded in collecting
provisions, the toil of bringing then the harbour
was worse to men in their enfeebled condition that
the task of fighting for them; for they were obliged
to transport them on their backs, through thus
heavily laden, to scramble over rugged rocks,
through almost impervious forests and across
dismal swamps.
Harrassed by these perils and fatigues, they broke
forth into murmurs against their commander
accusing him not merely of indifference of their
sufferings, but of wantonly imposing severe and
unnecessary tasks upon them out of revenge for
their having neglected them.
