about ten o’clock
The two who remained , for in that fight none of them had been hurt , supported me till my strength came back , for the cut in the face that I had received from Urco 's dagger was but slight . We reached the mouth of the gorge and took counsel . To return to Cuzco after what I had done , would be to seek death . So we bore away to the right and , making a round , came about ten o'clock of the morning unmolested by any , to that ridge on which I had stood at the beginning of the battle of the Field of Blood . There I found the Chancas encamped , some three thousand of them , as I had commanded . When they saw me , living and but little hurt , they shouted for joy , and when they learned who was in that litter they went well-nigh mad . Then the eight warriors with me told them all the tale of the saving of Quilla and the death of the giant Urco at my hands , whereon their captains came and kissed my feet , saying that I was in truth a god , though heretofore some of them had held me to be but a man .
