Note 318 — Chapter XI · THE JOURNAL OF GALLEGO—PREFATORY REMARKS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
This reference to the launching of the boat, in order, I infer, to lighten the vessel, is ambiguously expressed. Figueroa, in his account, would appear to imply that the boat was merely relieved from its weight of ropes and water; but further on in his account, Gallego expressly refers to their being without a boat.
[319] Figueroa adds to this account. He says that the General gave the order to cut away the mainmast, and that it carried away a portion of the bulwarks.
[320] Frazada in the account of Figueroa.
[321] “Para atras hechamos el camarote de popa a la mar.”
[322] I cannot understand this bearing.
