He then sailed from the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda, returned to Puerto Rico and arrived in Trinidad on November 8, 1530 with two caravels and seventy men.
The Spaniards' treatment of the natives then turned harsh as their food ran out and they raided the village of Cumucurapo in the north of the island.
[3][5] 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 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.
When Sedeño sent a caravel to Paria with new supplies, the ship turned around, fearful of de Ordas, and instead landed in Cumucurapo.
[3][5] According to the chronicler Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, Sedeño "died a very unchristian death", alluding to a fatal end of a sexual affair with his slave.
