sedeño returned to puerto rico and attempted to raise new men and supplies to re-established a presence on trinidad, which turned out to be difficult as people had heard about the conflict. he went on to tierra firme on mainland south america and arrived on land ruled by the chief turipari. he realized the inconvenience of his settling, and made an agreement with turipari that supplies could be shipped from puerto rico to his land in preparation of a successful entry into trinidad. some soldiers had remained on the island and settled in fort paria, which was taken by another conquistador, diego de ordas. when sedeño sent a caravel to paria with new supplies, the ship turned around, fearful of de ordas, and instead landed in cumucurapo. the natives appeared welcoming at the beginning, but their mistrust prompted them to attack the new settlers a week later, killing 24 of the 30 men. the six survivors returned to puerto rico using the caravel.
