THE ARGUMENT.

Almagro's _expedition to Chili--his troops suffer great hardships from

cold, in crossing the Andes--they reach Chili--the Chilese make a brave

resistance--the revolt of the Peruvians in Cuzco--they are led on by_

Manco-Capac, _the successor of_ Ataliba--_his parting with_ Cora, _his

wife--the Peruvians regain half their city_--Almagro _leaves Chili--to

avoid the Andes, he crosses a vast desert--his troops can find no water

--the rest divide in two bands_--Alphonso _leads the second band, which

soon reaches a fertile valley--the Spaniards observe the natives are

employed in searching the streams for gold--they resolve to attack

them._
