It seems certain that the river Pescadores, as well as those of St. Joachim and Jesus Maria, which fall into it, take their rise in the icy mountains, since they flow from the east, and pass through the low lands, where they receive a multitude of smaller streams.

There were also several smaller craft, but all were dismantled, and looked as if they had been there for some time. The French, then, had a settlement on the island.
