Note XXIII‑12 — Chapter XXIII · DRAKE AND OXENHAM'S EXPEDITIONS. 1572-1596.
Reading edition
Venta Cruz according to Burton's Life of Drake, 18, Burton's English Heroe, and Life and Voy. of Drake, 42, and Venta de Cruzes in the map confronting p. 1 in Dampier's Voy. Probably both are identical with Cruces, or Cruzes as it is spelled in the map on p. 137 of Esquemelin, Hist. Bucaniers, in which no such place as Venta Cruz is mentioned. Juan Lopez in the map before mentioned calls the place San Francisco de Cruces.
