Gov. Avendano died on the beach after imposing a tribute on Guale Indians
Nonetheless, when Governor Avendano visited the districts of San Juan, San Pedro, and Guale he imposed a one-arroba requirement on the pacified natives of those places, covenanting with the chiefs not to let the soldiers take any more. Alonso de las Alas, the factor, did the collecting. Avendano, on his way back from this visit, collapsed on the beach from a pulmonary hemorrhage and died. [Note 109: Alonso Sanchez Saez 1/6/1596; Fr. Francisco Pareja et. al. 1/14/1617; Alonso de las Alas 12/11/1595]
