The relief got the colony through the winter, but the supplies expected in the spring had not arrived by September. De Luna ordered the remainder of his force to march to the large native town of Coca, but the men mutinied. Bloodshed was averted by the settlement's missionaries, but soon after [[Ángel de Villafañe]] arrived in Pensacola Bay and offered to take all who wished to leave on an expedition to Cuba and Santa Elena.
