Note 284 — Chapter XI · THE JOURNAL OF GALLEGO—PREFATORY REMARKS.
Reading edition
Gallego here seems to have forgotten that he had previously applied these two names to different islands, that of San Juan to Ugi and that of Santiago to the large island south of it, viz., the present St. Christoval (see p. 222).
[285] This remark is inconsistent with the previous reference to their steering south of Santiago.]
[286] I should here call attention to the circumstance that the Spaniards were navigating the south coast of this island. Further proof of this is given in succeeding pages.
