In the year 1775. Translation by Mrs. Gertrude Mason, p. 1. (Unpublished manu- script in the possession of Herbert I. Priestley, Berkeley, California. ) 640 THE HISPANIC AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW used were so small, yet the best of them were not large, and af...forded but poor protection to the mariners.
