Note 1 — Chapter VI

Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation

This island was supposed to be 870 leagues from Lima. It is 10 leagues round. It is massive, moderately high, open, having groves and plains. It is steep, too, and its beaches are rocky. It is only inhabited by birds. Its latitude is 24° 45′. It was named “San Juan Bautista;”1 and as it had no port where we could get wood and water, we continued our voyage to the W.N.W.
