    1)
    Native Americans cross a net bridge over a river while one group cuts the end of it causing men to fall into the river and drown. Includes war clubs, spears, bows and arrows.
    Much of Ecuador was ruled from Quito by the Inca king, Huayna-Capac. In order to quell the Indians on the other side of the River Chiouo (Guayas) they had to build a rope bridge at Huaynacapaco. While they were crossing it, though, the local Indians cut the bridge on both sides and most of Huayna-Capac’s men were drowned. (There is a bridge with this name at Vilcabamba in Peru but Smyth’s edited version of Benzoni suggests the bridge crossed the Guayas.)
    2)
    Men are stabbed inside prisons while chests are loaded onto a boat. Includes men hanging from a tree seen through a barred window, chains, shackles, pillory, and knife.
