Did you mean Cabeca? If so, he was the treasurer and historian of an expedition lead by Narvaez in 1528. While on an island of the coast of Texas their ship was blown out to sea leaving Vaca and 14 others stranded. He wondered among the indian tribes until he reached the Gulf of California, then finally in 1536 reached Mexico City. Hope this helps.
