'Relación de una expedición contra unas Rancherías.' Despite his illness, Goycoechea rode out the same day (14 men + mission Christians + gentiles) to recover Christians supposedly killed and 'castigar y refrenar el orgullo' of the rancherías behind the sierra; took declarations via interpreter, flogged the guilty, brought 2 prisoners (the insult-promoters); found sheltering there 3 Christians (a San Luis old man who'd opposed baptism + SLO-mission Indians + 2 San Buenaventura Christians) and gentiles of the Santa Rosa ranchería who refused to stay at the mission after baptism. 'Toda la gentilidad… se halla en buena disposición y sosiego.' A rich punitive-expedition / mission-flight source. Orig. pp.221–223.
