The Republic of Ecuador looks like a wedge driven into the continent between the Marañon and the Putumayo.
Steve MattinglyNARRATOR
It has 1,200 miles of Pacific coast and an area of about 200,000 square miles, including the Galapagos Islands.
Steve MattinglyNARRATOR
Peru, however, claims the oriental half, drawing her northern boundary from Tumbes through Canelos and Archidona, and she is entitled to much of it, for she has established a regular line of steamers on the Marañon, while the Quito government has not developed an acre east of the Andes.
Steve MattinglyNARRATOR
Ecuador is hung between and upon two cordilleras, which naturally divide it into three parts, the western slope, the Quitonian valley, and the Napo region.

Why it was, none of our old sea-lawyers could determine satisfactorily, but not one of the crew was given shore liberty.
speaker_3NARRATOR
There was no unusual amount of work to be done on the ships, yet we were kept aboard as close as if there was danger some of us might desert.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Now it seems that the Rose was an old tub of a ship which it wouldn't pay to bring into port under the circumstances.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Therefore he threw her guns overboard and filled her with the prisoners on condition that they head direct for St. Helena.
speaker_3NARRATOR
When that had been done, he steered for Tumbes, for it appears that he and Captain Porter had agreed to go there when it was necessary to make a port.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Now our fleet consisted of nine sail, and it began to look as if we might take possession of every port in the Pacific Ocean if we were so minded.

Ruiz had met with people prepared to fight him, but as his instructions were to explore and not to engage in conflict with the natives, he had avoided close contact with them and had thus returned without having shed human blood and with little plunder.
Patrick EatonNARRATOR

And after they had crossed the great bay and saw upon its farther shore a city of temples and palaces, their snow-white walls rivaling the frozen dome of Chimborazo, and probably containing treasures of gold and silver, he gnashed his teeth with vexation and rage.
Patrick EatonNARRATOR
But when he saw the craggy fortress dominating all, the swarms of people pouring forth from the streets and dwellings, and the warriors by thousands assembling or embarking on board the balsas in the harbor, he shrugged his shoulders and thought upon the Cacique's warning not to attempt the reduction of Peru without at least a thousand soldiers.
Patrick EatonNARRATOR
So it was not as a soldier, but as a man of peace, proclaiming goodwill and good faith, that he approached this newly discovered town of Tumbes and asked permission to interview its governor.
Patrick EatonNARRATOR
It was one of the Inca's subject cities, inhabited by Mitames, or conquered colonists, and ruled by a Curaca, or tributary Cacique, but it was wealthy and powerful.
