Note 252 — Chapter XI · THE JOURNAL OF GALLEGO—PREFATORY REMARKS.
Reading edition
“Visto por losque en el veniamos soyechamos lo que podia ser.”
[253] From the context it may be inferred that the brigantine completed the circuit of the island of Isabel. Figueroa, in his narrative, expressly states that the brigantine turned the west end of the island, and encountered head easterly winds in her return to the ships. Figueroa also tells us that during the absence of the brigantine some of the men in the ships had died of sickness; but Gallego does not refer to this circumstance.
