of us went back to our palisade with our provisions, and we spent two days and two 
nights there, taking great precautions, keeping constant watches, and heating our 
war drums morning and night. All that time we heard many screams and shouts, 
and after a consultation among the chiefs we agreed to leave on the third day, setting 
fire to all that had remained. When the Chiscas saw the fire, heard the drums, and, 
besides, saw us come forth in two bodies, carrying our wounded in the center, a troop 
of them came to encounter us in the same road. Captain Bernardo de Cupayca dis- 
charged his gun, and with one shot hit a Chisca so fairly that he fell dead, and the 
Enija ' from San Luis, Ventura, fired and killed another one, and our men wanted 
to go and scalp them, which, however, the chiefs did not allow. The Chiscas fled, 
and we continued on our way, enduring great suffering. After about half a league we 
reached a clearing, where we found four shells and several pots in which were boiled 
herbs. We asked the Chacatos what this might signify, and they told us it was witch- 
craft, in order that we might lose our way and not be able to reach our country, so 
that we might fall into their hands and be killed by them. But it pleased God that 
after eight days we entered the deserted country of the Chacatos very glad, carrying 
our wounded on litters, and on the ninth day we met a troop of people wno came from 
Apalache to bring us provisions, which comforted us greatly, and we continued very 
happily, entering Apalache on the fifth day of October of the year 1677, by the favor 
of God and the Virgin of the Bosary. 
I give my oath and true testimony, I, Captain Juan Fernandez de Florencia, lieu- 
tenant of this province of Apalache, that there appeared before me the said Juan Men- 
doza, Matheo Chuba, and Don Bernardo, the cacique of Cupayca, and Ventura, Ynija, 
of this place of San Luis, who, in their own language, declared the above stated and 
all that is written down, which I remit in the original to the governor, Don Pablo de 
Hita Salazar, governor and captain general of the garrison of San Agustin and its 
provinces by His Majesty. Made (written) in San Luis de Talimali on the 30th of 
August, 1678.

Later the same incorrigible people are held responsible, jointly 
with the English, for having prevented the establishment of a mis- 
sion among the Apalachicola. 
On the Lamhatty map (1707) these Yuchi appear in approxi- 
mately the same position under the name Ogolaughoo [Hogologe]. 3 
In 1718 we hear of a "Rio de los Chiscas," 5 leagues from Pensacola.' 1 
In the census taken in 1761 we find the "Choctaw Hatchee Euchees" 
included with the Tukabahchee and "Pea Creek and other planta- 
tions" under the traders James McQueen and T. Perryman, 5 and 
these are probably the Yuchi of the French census of the same 
period located close to the Tukabahchee and said to number 15 
men. 6 We are to infer from this that they had then settled among the 
Upper Creeks. Their possible connection with the Yuchi reported 
by Hawkins to have united with the Shawnee on Tallapoosa River 
has already been mentioned. 7 We hear nothing more about them 
from this time on, but their name is preserved in Euchee anna, a 
village in Walton County, Florida.
