They rose and made their way to the camp of Mangus Coloradus. A short
time later, dressed as a Mexican and driving a burro, Pedro Gonzalez
loomed up in the darkness. He had been to Mexico in advance of the
warriors to gather such information as he could.
Mangus Coloradus rose to meet him. "What saw you?" he asked.
"I saw _rurales_," Pedro said. "I even talked with them, since they
thought me a Mexican. There are two companies of foot soldiers and two
companies of horse soldiers. Among them are those who attacked us at
Kas-Kai-Ya. But they are not now at Kas-Kai-Ya. They are at Arispe, in
the Mexican state of Sonora and to the west of Kas-Kai-Ya."
